Went out into the field with the column under Lady General Calypso. She's damned good at this generaling thing, that's for sure. It was an experience, all right, even though I was back with the supply train working on repairs after every battle. In the city we've got nobles and commoners. Out there there's a lot less of that, but still a big divide between fighters and support. That makes a lot of sense to me. I don't know much about fighting, and them fighters don't know my business either, so it's better we don't joggle each other's elbow when dropping something might mean someone gets killed. Now the siege starts. I'll be sleeping in the forge, I guess. When someone needs work, they'll need it right away.

Fireweave or steelsilk, that is the question. Also the next question, after its made who'll buy it?

Relationship Note on Frederik

Count Frederick Steelhart is a hard man who knows all to well the cost of honor and loyalty, but he is a man who's counsel I have always valued. When I was a boy I would sometimes refer to him as 'Ocean Arn' and would promptly be scolded by my father for it.

He is the kind of vassal ever leader needs though. Utterly unafraid of telling me when I am being a dumb-ass, yet brave enough to stand by you through thick and thin despite it. He is crass and ruffles feather's easily but he is a good man.

An 'I told you so' is a small price to pay for someone that has your back even when they want to slap you upside your stubborn head.

Relationship Note on Talen

I put it in my backyard. When it warms up, I'm going to turn it into my own private swimming hole.


We'll have a garden party and I'll let you play in it.

Trying to keep my woman safe and she goes off to sweat with a pretty lass without me.

I'd say I'm devastated but my magpie cuts a dashing figure either way.

It pleases me that in the midst of all things, many of us still follow our nature, and her's is to teach some days.

After the dust is settled and the fury of the battle fades from memory, I find that after it all... I am still me. The world continues on, and the touch of a loved one still sends the same sensations as it did the night before. Remembering what we're fighting for... it's so very important to me. I hope that we can have it all. That once this is all over I can return to my life, and everybody remains a part of it. I'll need that for a few weeks before the next world ending threat comes to light.

Relationship Note on Sudara

A friend of Juliet's that I had the pleasure of meeting. I don't know why it surprises me anymore that Juliet knows such well read and fascinating people, but it still does, every time. Despite her self deprecating nature, I find that she's quite charming and beautiful. I'll try to remind her of this when I see her next, as I'm sure that after all she's been through she could use the reminder.

I do not write in the white journals much. I find them mostly grist and meal for gossip and such. People write about their love affairs, their business affairs, their opinions and outlooks... and it seems like an invitation to be argued with.

I reserve such for my blacks.

Relationship Note on Darren

I feel as if I should probably not be quite as comfortable talking with the Prince of the Redrain house as he makes it, but the big man makes it just too easy to talk with him. I have only met Prince Darren a handful of times, but he's been pretty easy going each time, I look forward to helping him and the Redrains out as much as possible.

From Camp Spearpoint to the battle of Giants Fall, and now back to Arx, it' been a hell of a fortnight.

I have spent a great deal of time trying to leave this city. Why is it now that I wish to remain?

Relationship Note on Joslyn

A trusted friend and confidante of Juliet. Distressingly young to an ageing widow's eyes; troublingly close in age to my own eldest offspring, in all honesty. It is quite perturbing to think how soon they might be pitched into affairs of state. Well, in all honesty it would be perturbing were they merely to be in line to brave the courts of the Lyceum and the broader Compact. But nowadays? The prospect is more than a little daunting. Yet observing Joslyn reminds me that competence and confidence can indeed go hand in hand, even among those who now look so very youthful to me.

Relationship Note on Morrighan

If you don't come back to me tomorrow? I will go to the Shining Lands, drag you back, and then smack you to the other side again, I swear.

Relationship Note on Morrighan

I did not hesitate when you asked to stand beside me at the gates. Though I want to keep you protected, I can do that with you fighting beside me, rather than locked away in the ward. My father kept you safe and I will do the same. Family is family.

Don't say your goodbyes just yet, Morrighan. You will see tomorrow. I will make sure of that.

Relationship Note on Alis

I am glad for lieges that can also be called friends. And grateful for capable leaders to take the field with. In Princess Alis, I know that I have both.

Vellichor, I pray you give your servant a humble heart and an open mind. Let my eyes not be blinded by the glamours of ignorance. Let my ears not be blocked to the cries of those needing illumination. Let my thoughts be clear as wind and sweet waters. Your desire for what is true, O Prince of Stories, is the will of my mind. Gift me knowledge and gift me wisdom in equal measure, I pray you.

Gloria, I pray you give those who fight for us strength of heart and strength of spirit. Let them be carried through what comes as if sheltered by your shield arm. Let them rise to meet your enemies as if wielded by your sword arm. Let their plans bear righteous fruit and their strategies win this day, and every other to come. Gift us bravery and gift us honour in equal measure, I pray you.

Jayus, I pray you give each tool borne into this fight a keen edge and a true balance. Let those that bear these instruments find them light in their grip. Let those that must face the horrors of the day and every other to come find peace in their dreaming minds, after. Gift us with glad and singing hearts, and the inspiration to always find hope in the darkness, I pray you.

Relationship Note on Samantha

The Marquessa has been a boon to the people under her fledgling watch, from those who have been part of the Compact for generations, all the way to those who have just bent the knee. While part of my heart feels for those tribes who made that choice-- as it is never easy-- I know that every single one of them will find themselves under the wings of a fair and just phoenix.

It won't be long now. I've patroled the gates, ensured my men are well armed and well-armored. Given the orders, made the plans and the back-up plans and the back-up back-up plans. I've sharpened my own sword, shined my armor, made sure their were no dents. The battles at the river and the disruption of their supply lines have helped, but they still come. The battle is inevitable, but we are prepared.

I've spent the last couple of days reaching out to those I love, those I care for. Those few hours were not enough, it never is enough, but those hours made happy memories in this time of darkness. I don't want to think about what could happen - you must prepare for the worst, but it cannot be at the forefront of your mind, or else rout will set in when the battle grows grim.

To those who come to the gates with me - we will overcome. I will stand beside you, fight with you, and am willing to die for you. But I have hope we will see tomorrow, and the tomorrow after that as well.

Bloody buggery balls. Shit is a mess, trying to keep people calm and moving and fed and clean but at the same time...

Some have asked, what's the point? We could all die, why bother?

Our humanity is one of many things that separates us from the monsters at our door, in that we will care about what happens to the people next to us, reach out and haul them up to their feet even if we can do little more than direct orders and bark instructions.

Viktarkim once compared me to a house-cat. He wasn't wrong and at the time I laughed. I am plump, soft, and then hard in ways many don't expect. Possessive at times, protective too.

I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
