Relationship Note on Calypso

I met the Lady General at the Council, and it seems like she is a very intelligent woman, who knows tactics and strategies when it comes to war. I believe she will see us through a lot of what is coming in this siege.

It's been an eventful few days. Patrols are becoming ever-more eventful, with more and more trying to find their ways inside the city's walls. The smell of death and dying that permeates each step becomes thicker every day. It's enough to make my stomach churn

Relationship Note on Felicia

The lass is a powerhouse. But she doesn't get enough sleep! One day, that lack of sleep is gonna come bite her in the ass and she'll be running for me to take care of her. And will I do such a thing? Of course... I will. I'm gonna yell at her, hard but I'll patch her ass up and send her back out. Mostly because she's a good drinking companion, really.

Relationship Note on Leona

I've been patching up the Lord Commander since she was a kid. She's the little niece I never thought I'd want. She's grown into a fine leader, I'll give you that and Dayne made the right choice with her. She's even actually sleeping, unless of course, the little brat, I mean, our illustrious leader happens to be lying to me. Which is quite possible if she's avoiding telling me of her lack of sleep so I don't nag her or tie her bandages extra tight the next time I patch her up. If Dayne could see her now? He would be mighty proud of her.

The Lady General Calypso Malvici has put me in charge of city-wide repairs and structure reinforcements, as I have a small army of crafters, makers, merchants, and suppliers in my network of fellows.

I'll admit to being a little intimidated; it's a lot of responsibility when I already have that with my Guild, 'all the focus of a mother to your crafters and merchants', I was told. It was meant to be a snide remark but I think on it with great pride.

Anyway. I've spoken to a few people and I have no worries about rising to the task at hand, I just hope I don't let anyone down.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

When I ask for aid, I never expect a response. I mean, I hope for one, but it's not expected; that would be rude and a setup for disappointment. I hope for the best but expect the worst, a lesson I've learned quickly as Guildmaster and one that's proven to be wise.

When I asked Princess Eleyna for extra supplies for the healers, I gave her a list of things: clean scraps of cloth, silk thread, lye soap, honey, lye soap with honey, medicinal herbs.

Not four hours pass and I receive several large crates of almond-honey lye soap. Such soap in its basic form can be found easily and a necessity for many, but with the honey mixed in it's a boon to a hospital trying to do its best to keep the humors of its patients clear and strong.

No few people may find her generosity surprising, but I've never known her to be anything else. My deepest gratitudes to her.




As a side note, if you have such things to donate please send me a message, every little bit helps. I will come by in person if need be. The thread must be silk, as it doesn't snag like wool or cotton does when sewn to flesh. Bandages can be made of many kinds of cloth, from linen to cotton to silk, and if it's not wide enough or as absorbent, I'm sure it can be used to hold dressings into place.

Last night a Bringer tried to kill my dog.

Now, let me make this very clear: besieging my city and threatening lives and existence is quite bad enough.

Trying to hurt my dog is another level entirely.

I'll rip their damn throats out.

Relationship Note on Haati

The work he's done on Iliana's armor and weapon is amazing. Master Wavehowler is highly talented and has a knack for taking a basic idea and making it into something stunning. If you have not at least stopped by Wavehowler Wearh, I strongly suggest doing so if not just to appreciate the artistry and dedication that goes into his work.

Now that the Crimson Blades are patrolling the Ramparts and riverside, I've been able to spend a lot more time in Arx proper, helping the boroughs in their hunts.

I knew that some Bringers are tougher than others, but Gods above, the one I fought at the graveyard might as well have been built out of Alaricite for how long that duel lasted. In the end, it took a small village to bring that thing down.

A word of advice to anyone who hasn't fought a Bringer of Silence yet; Some are a lot more durable than others. If you aren't prepared for that, bring friends.

Document the third:

6 friends in a bar

2 shots of whisky (one may have been a bottle)
1 not-so-terrified Crovane

I like these people. I like them very much.

I have seen a giant exist. I've watched the life drain from all four of its great eyes like so many other mundane creatures. Though one of its heads might have wished us dead in it's unnatural madness, the other bore us no ill will. That death weighs on me now as I remember it. A fantastical storybook being, yes, freed from evil corruption that plagued it but also blotted out forever ...and by my own hand, no less.

That is not a thing to celebrate.

I really wish these stupid dead things left behind more than their skulls...
Bringer skulls. Giant famori skulls. Animated skeleton skulls.

I really should start a collection. Put them all in a neat row on a shelf in my bedroom or turn them into candle-holders.

Skull Party? I'm just saying. Plan a party around that thing!

I sat inside a giant skull last night. A very strange thing, lounging inside of the head of another creature. What must he have been thinking when he was struck down?

Eirene and the others ran some tests on it and it seems perfectly safe to keep around. I have no idea what one does with a giant skull, so it resides in Southport Square for now.

These are strange times.

I have, for the most, remained silent about the 500 Cavalry Knights that perished at the hands of Tolmar Brand; crumbled to dust in front of the city's defenders. But I would like to start at the beginning.

A trusted friend; someone I consider close enough to be family came to me with a vision she had. Murky, but clearly some group of knights would meet their end at the hands of an enemy if nothing was done. And so I prayed to Jayus and the Sentinel both, pleading for clarity so that we could prevent those deaths. They answered; and, the message spread through the commanders of the forces from each Great House. Remain behind the walls when Brand arrives.

Yet, some of our own House's very best men and women went out there. And we still do not yet know who gave the order for them to go out and engage. My thanks go out to the Duke Regent, who helps us investigate. Edain and I will not rest until we find answers. We owe at least that much to the families of the fallen, and their military comrades. We honor their service and their sacrifices far too much to do otherwise, and we always take care of our own.

Relationship Note on Ansel

I find that I have come to rely on Lord Ansel as another commander in the field, as the battle against Brand's forces grew and eventually culminated in the siege we currently experience. Despite multiple injuries, he has consistently put himself forward to help however we might be able to use him. And, recently did not just step up to replace me as the commander of the Valardin forces that would assist Lady General Calypso with the Gyre land offensive, he also stepped up to take on her role as she also is needed in Arx to assist with the siege response and organization.

Honorable, loyal, and a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. I am pleased and proud to call him friend. If only I could convince him to stop with the Princess shit when we're not in a formal setting.

After burning off my eyebrows sweat kept hitting my eyes while in my armor, was extremely distracting. I bought some muddy makeup to swipe over my eyes during the day and keep moisture from my brow running to the sides, but what I need is an ointment to help the hair grow back faster. Perhaps that sweet apothecary with the pet mice has something that can help.

The first lantern from the shrine worked, after a fashion. It helped protect us against the Bringer's darkness, and we used it to burn their house down. Or the house they were in, anyway. Then I got a replacement lantern, also had it blessed, and the Bringers snuffed it out without any trouble. Whatever made the first lantern work wasn't me, so how do I make sure they can't do that to me again? Duke Cassius had a lantern they couldn't put out, maybe he can give me advice.
