Relationship Note on Calypso
While so many have been prideful, mercurial, and consumed by their own petty affairs I have watched her tirelessly work to keep this city and its people safe. She has never been overcome by demons of jealousy and conceit. Never complained of not receiving the respect she is due. Has never been distracted by paranoia, fear, and narrow perspective.
For all that our philosophy speaks of the character of a Leader, I am glad to have actually met one.

Relationship Note on Aureth
Godsworn (again? (officially??)) with minimal swearing. Kind of a strange thing to think, but luckily Aleksei went first, so stranger things have already happened.

This siege should have me feeling cooped up and stir crazy. I've found the odd riding lesson to be a solace in that. It might not be the same as sailing and the freedom you feel on the sea, but it's something to learn and master, and the company is pleasant. I am almost sorry I ever accused a horse of wanting to eat me. The mare I have been learning on is a true beauty, she's the sweetest, truest creature I ever met.
May your hopes find safe harbors.

Relationship Note on Merek
An interesting man with a particularly interesting style of dress. I was rather fond of his jewelry. Time shall tell how this progresses. Time is always the deciding factor.

Relationship Note on Alis
I believe the Princess gives Prince Edain nearly as much of a headache as Dulcinea gives to me, in turn. Apparently, both of our sisters have a penchant for leaping headlong from the city walls to get a piece of Bringers.

I find myself thinking of Sanctum more and more these days. When we break this siege I look forward returning there for awhile.

Relationship Note on Korka
Korka is an interesting woman -- a few years older than me, and someone who seems to have her ear to the ground. I have high hopes that she might prove to be a friend to the Society; we can always use a few more ears out there in the city, those who hear rumors from traders and travelers of interesting things spotted out in the wilds. Things worth sending explorers to look into, to flesh out that much more of the map.
If nothing else, however, she proved an interesting conversational partner.

Relationship Note on Luca
Luca Velenosa, now Grayson, is an old friend. We had something of a rivalry as younger men - a friendly one - but I've been consistently unable to defeat him in a spar. I won't even say something like 'perhaps one day' because I doubt that day is going to come any time soon. He has recently married Princess Reese Grayson and gone to join that family. I don't think it will change much as far as our friendship is concerned.

My time here in Arx thus far has been an unusual one. The siege has definitely made things interesting and I write now as it comes to and end. One way or another, so I think. I'm confident in victory, but the cost will be high. For now, I stand with my brothers in sisters of the Silver Order. It's good to prepare to fight again after so long. Time on the road has made me rusty with a sword but I'm improving.

Relationship Note on Calypso
Lady Geneal Calypso Malvici is the sister of the curent Duke of Southport and the Minister of Defense for the Compact. She's a competent woman, which I can tell despite only having met her a few times. I need to talk to her about a potential role for me within the Ministry.

Yo Ho Ho and Future's Rum
A glass of rum in hand, the future speaks...
The sea in my veins, the wind it breaks...
This I've sailed, the winds taken,
This I've seen, never shaken.

Relationship Note on Kahlana
One of what I call my honored guests. For customers are not just customers they are guests in my shop and in honored ones have sought my expertise and creativity to bring them the image they have not fully realized in what they want to be made. Kahlana is a very forthright and from that has no hesitation in the idea of what is needed to be done and what she will need to get that done. May she be an honored guest for a very long time.

The Emporium...
A new venture has begun an expansion of my skills and where I take my future and what it will bring. The New shop is far more accessible to all of Arx and with the services I'll be offering and with them only becoming better overall... The idea of full sets of armor alone from head to toe with cloaks and belts. Already that plan has begun and I am seeing the first customers come into and ask for that very thing. This will be one thing that I will leave as my legacy... Now to find those that will like to join me in this venture and reap the benefits along with me.
To sea, to silver and what my gaze sets its sight upon....

I am writing this so that in times to come in the future they'll know of these things, as Vellichor likes.
The other day, I saw a cave dragon as I call it. It was like a dragon, but it didn't have any wings and it came out of the ground where it was living in a tunnel as I understand it. It stands to reason that it's a cave dragon and it doesn't have wings because it doesn't need them.
It was eating a Bringer, which is good to know. If the cave dragons were on the side of Brand that would be even worse. It also attacked other folk and made a building collapse so I wouldn't say it's a good thing to have cave dragons around, but maybe someone can tame them or talk to them.
I helped fight the Bringers and didn't attack the dragon. It didn't attack me either, other than making a building fall down on top of me, so maybe if other folk hadn't attacked it first it would've left them alone, I wouldn't know. But if it likes to eat Bringers, I'd rather have it as an ally than not.

Relationship Note on Armel
I met Sir Armel for the first time recently, just before his elevation to Grandmaster. He strikes me as more of a kindred spirit than I expected; another who yearns to see what might be over that hill, or down the next road. And the truth is, our purposes along those roads are no longer so disparate as they might be; once it was curiosity that motivated me, but now there's a greater motive in finding the lost information of the world.
He'll be a good Grandmaster; he has my congratulations, and also my condolences.
