I spoke with Aleksei Morgan, Archlector of the Faith, and was told that another of his fellow 'Champions of the Gods' may refuse to aid two innocent young people, for no cause other than the name they were born with. I had been unaware that being born among my people was seen as a crime by some, let alone one Chosen by the Gods.
Such misguided hate. The Faith should be above such things.

Relationship Note on Fortunato
Fortunato, a Lower Burroughs princeling if there ever was. In another life I was his patron; now, he asks if I am in need. Like a sodden stray cat, I need the warmth of company, and milk - for my tea.
He speaks about as straight as I do, which is to say not at all, though he's a thoughtful sort; a ruminator. He bears his demons on his sleeve, and I suspect he is haunted by far more than what he's yet shared. And so it's rather a delight sharing words with the man.
'Tis such a funny thing, too, when his mouth goes a bit more to one side than the other in a smile. Like it's about to fall straight off.

My sister has a new Patron, and it seems that she has decided to move into the Velenosa Ward. I am happy for her, and I can't wait until she has her shop!

At what point did having a menagerie follow you around smelling of shit, musk and fleas become popular amongst the people of Arx? This is what you desire to bring to temples? To shops? To important meetings?
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Get real friends instead of walking around with food, or for gods sake, perhaps put them at the real menagerie where they belong. You're a circus, and not the funny one either.

Economical profits turned around, which means the Crafters Guild commerce is coming back. This is wonderful, and it means that Arx is on the fast path to recovery. I've spent most my recent time working on my craft, thinking up ideas to sell, and generally working towards trade. It is a bit busy, however it makes me feel better.

Sketches. These again.
A rain of masks, each off-white and bowed out, slightly distorted as if by thousand pinpoint winds.
The triad of circles for the Faith, repeated three times, each with different colors. Yellow, white, orange. Blue, green, red. Black, silver, brown.
Cats tumble off a bed in an uneven troupe, landing in a carpet of words, every high stem of letter loose and malleable as thread.
A wolf's skull, a furred red thread. Bunch of randomish lines, trailing off into nowhere, daydream doodles without subject.

I almost bumped into a woman exiting a tailor's shop on Thrax Row.
What I recall of her: arms filled with parcels, brandywine eyes, the dip of her head with warm brown hair, and a crooked smile. All of the presence of royalty, even if we were about to collide because the turn of her heel was sharp and purposeful.
Who are you?

I feel like I have a lot to write about, but I don't know where to start. I thought, when I came to Arx some months ago, that I would be gone and back to the Twainfort after the Silent Army was defeated. I still yearn for the delta lands of the Twin Rivers, but I now think it shall be long before I'm home again. Riven is establishing itself in the city, and I would help Count Thesarin and Lady Tikva with that. There is much rebuilding to do, in the city and in the Gray Forest. My duties are here. The world is a more complicated and darker place than I think I let myself know before, and so new duties come with that.
Lady Niamh Greenmarch has accepted me as a knight in her Gold Order. As I was the first knight to join, she's made me her second-in-command. This is a heavy thing, but I will try and do well by it. The work she intends is of the highest importance right now. There are many places in this land that do not know the protection and order an honorable force of knights can provide. And even with Tolemar Brand slain, not all evil is gone from this world. She aims to stand up to those who call upon the Abyss, and I shall stand with her. It is my hope that more knights and warriors and scholars, and good men and women of all kinds, will answer her call to it in the coming days.
There is hard work to do, but I'm not sorry I'll be staying in Arx for the moment. I've made friends and met many good people here. I feel I'm finding my place within the Graysons and Deepwoods. Also, this week I got a very lovely flower to wear in my hair. This was important. I am noting it for the record.

~ Written in the tongue of Northland Shav ~
It's going to be difficult putting everything back together, but it will be nice seeing Arx when it's NOT under constant siege. I Kind of miss home in honesty, the north was a much more...simple place, in my own opinion.
But if I left, I would leave many people I have already befriended, and thus bonded.
I think I'll stick around. See how my story unfolds.

I suppose it is time to go to the archives and such. I don't come around here very often except sometimes for my journals, not to read anything else. I used to know a scholar or two, though things having ended how they did I'm not sure I ought to ask her for help but maybe I will. I suppose it's been a few years now.
I've got much reading to do, and I'm not sure where to start. Maybe I should ask some Lycene folk for help with that thing, and the other thing I shall just talk to some scholar or another. I wish I was more scholarly but I've no head for reading other than stories and such and that's the truth.

Relationship Note on Cara
I so miss my dear sister. Though the distance between Ashford House and Grayson Mansion is slight, it still seems as though it is a gulf that now exists between us. It is the change when one marries and moves on to a new home, and new responsibility..and I miss her even as I rejoice for her. Still, once my niece or nephew arrives, I hope that things shall settle somewhat and we can find mischief to be about together once more.

With the siege ended, Brand annihilated, and all seeming to turn towards quiet and rebuilding I have for the first time the opportunity to find myself without a particular direction or goal in mind. There are matters that I've been asked to see to, of course, but overall I am uncertain of the direction I shall walk upon the dawning of a new morning. All I am certain of, thus far, is that it seems I shall walk it in the company of the woman I love. And if that's the case, no matter what direction I walk, I shall go there gladly and with determination.

Our first masquerade! I cannot explain how excited and happy I am that it was a great success.
My heart skips beat when I think of all the guests who attended. Such excellent company I could not ask for. The masks so beautiful, so mysterious and yet so alluring. The conversations, the dancing and the laughter. The garden filled with music and light. Such a moments took my breath away.
It was such delight and success I think we might have to host a masquerade at the start of each season for the Hart. There was such magic in the air. Such starlit nights make for such beautiful memories. And the more beautiful memories we have the better, I think.
I am so grateful to those who joined us in making an offering of light to this city so we could honour our people's strength and those who saw us through this dark times and to celebrate the light we have found again. Yes, we must rebuild, but in this there is new hope for more light than ever.
In truth I don not know exactly who all attended, but I suppose that is part of the fun. But to each I am so grateful. I cannot wait to have you in my Hart again and I cannot wait to see this this city and its people blossom.
I cannot wait to dance again. <3

My dearest friend, the moment we met we knew it was going to be that way. That friendship has only strengthened since then and I am grateful and thankful for all the laughter and joy she's brought into my life.

A more fair and wise woman can not be found for Guildmaster. This is why I came to her right away when trouble arose and the response was quick and decisive. Then I think too things like this should never have to be brought to her as they should never have happened... Still, when they do I know I can rely on her and her judgment on any matter evolving anyone in the guild.

A talented Artist who has recently arrived to Arx by way of Setarco, or I assume by way of Setarco as he is also a talented Whisper. We met at his gallery which is still a work in progress but the manner in which he designed the glass door, I knew I had to hire him to do a portrait of me. His skill with the brush and canvas does not disappoint and I can only imagine how pleased Inigo will be with his wedding gift.
