Relationship Note on Joscelin
For some unfathomable reason, our Guilmeister-thing has taken it upon herself to rush to our -beloved- city's defense. Be still, my heart.
Look. I care as much about what happens to you as I do where a squirrel shits out the nuts he ate for lunch. Actually, I probably care more about the squirrel shit than I do about how many pieces you decide to come back in. Sometimes it ends up on my front stoop, and I have to walk all the way to your shop just to wipe it off on your door handle. It's fucking inconvenient.
I've been told that my membership in the Crafters' Guild is somewhat dependent on you retaining the Guildthinger position or whatever, and the only thing more inconvenient than having to walk a quarter-mile to wipe off Steve the Squirrel's shit on your doorknob would be not having a shop for Steve to shit on in the first place. So, look. If you want to get torn up by a Bringer and set the record for coming back in the most pieces (which I'm told is currently held by some poor Laurent chap who came back in a couple different baskets), then at least have the fucking common decency to not do it when you're sorta responsible for holding the agreement that I got my shop through. Then, by all means, come back as a much more portable version of yourself.
I hope you step on a jeweler's hammer.

Relationship Note on Zakar
A few have asked why I am so humble, why I have my Guildmembers lead with me instead of me leading all of them. For one, it's a collective. For another, I know they work as hard as I do at the trade and now, with the war effort, working with them side by side, I know they throw most everything they have into whatever I've asked of them and they've agreed to.
And then there's this fucker.
If I ever put on airs, it's because he's dead and no longer leaving little 'gifts' in my shop. My poor assistant threatened to quit after the last one, and now I've received word that he's left rotten eggs there as well.
You. I'm watching you. Make no mistake, you're destined for great things and some of them are terrible too.

Lower boroughs has changed allot since my time here. Every corner there is now an iron guard. I even have seen some hoods on the beat! Man, I steer clear of them. Still to this day they give me the creeps. Nevertheless, I keep my nose clean doing the odd job here and there, volunteering for a neighborhood watch at the harbor too. I hope after tomorrow things can return to normal.

Ive been in Arx for a few days now, Ive met some nice folks and am still figuring this place out. Im not sure how much help Ill be but I promise this oath to myself, Ill help in this siege or give up my own life honorably in the effort. For at the end of our lives were not remember for who we are but our deeds and honor.

Currently seeking any stray cats that look to be good bird hunters. If anyone can find and bring me one that's successful in it's hunt, I'll reward it with a fish. Or whatever cats eat. I've an idea in the works...

I've not left many entries as of yet because I'm too FUCKING BUSY.
I spend my time between the Knights and Mercies of the Solace (Both headed by damn fine people with good heads on their shoulders and a perchance for cutting through bullshit - I approve and count them as friends) and down at the Saving Grace with the Physicians Guild (Also headed by a level headed person I consider a friend).
But soon - as those towers roll forward and the masses of the armies pour down on our walls... soon I will take my place where I belong. Alongside my kin, atop the walls, a healer in the midst of battle unafraid and ready to help ours and hurt the hell out of theirs. I am neither fish nor fowl, no Knight nor a Mercy. Like the flames of Lagoma; they can purify and sooth and heal or they can burn your fucking face off.
I am the flame. I will take care of our own. Those fuckers will BURN.
And if this is to be my last entry in Velchor's archives, then it is one I will happily leave behind.

Here's a poem:
Brand,
I will take as much as I can
From you before I die
Because fuck you.
It doesn't rhyme. That's how you know it's quality.

It's not common to meet a Valardin willing to do away with formalities after only a short conversation. I like this Princess.

She seemed to appreciate Greenmarch traditional fashion. That's a mark in her favour, along with her wit. But if she won't drink whiskey, we can't be friends.

Though our encounter was brief, making Marquis Marius' acquaintance was rather eye opening. He has a certain flair for fashion.

Relationship Note on Sasha
I had the pleasure of making Princess Sasha Valardin's acquaintance the other evening while visiting the Hall of Heroes. She is seemingly very sweet and interested in all things pertaining to research and investigation. It seems her knight, Sir Rodrick and my beloved Clawdio share the same sort of 'resting' face.

Relationship Note on Ophelia
The first time we met, it was in passing at a Velenosa garden party. We both had eyes for the same man and I knew right then and there she had exceptional taste. We found each other once more at the same shop with interest in the same items. During these dark times, Princess Ophelia has been a beacon of light and pure happiness. I am ever so blessed to consider her a friend.

Relationship Note on Ansel
I find myself rarely able to guess what Ansel will do at any given time, with one exception: He will do whatever is most honourable, most valiant, and probably the most stone-headed foolish in pursuit of his duty and responsibility - he can't even help it. I'm fortunate to have him as a liege lord. I'm privileged to call him a brother-in-law. I'm honoured to call him a friend.

Relationship Note on Niamh
If I had the choice between wrestling with a bear and facing Niamh in a fight to the death, I'd take the bear 9 times out of 10. There's always the chance the earth will open up and swallow the bear; Niamh would find a way to finish the job regardless. I am a fortunate man to have a woman like her as my cousin - not just because I doubt I'll face her blade, but because she is so much more than a mere sword. But, I won't embarrass her here with stories from when we were young; she could do worse about me.
