I'm also told I shouldn't come to the Training Grounds for a few days. The mercies are annoyed with me, said I get hit in the head too much. I told them that is why I had a helmet, they said that was what I told them yesterday. I... I didn't remember talking to them yesterday. I agreed to take some time off from full contact training.

Relationship Note on Aldwin
Send a message to Aldwin would you? Blah blah, Dominus whatever new title he has... I've seen what blessed shit can do to fuck up demons and bringers, so I want to keep working with the Church to be sure we can get what we need to keep our people safe from this insane magic bullshit. Good fucking luck with the shit you got ahead of you...
Most Holy Dominus - as someone who has seen the power of the Gods first-hand in defeating our enemies, I wish to continue to work as closely as I can with the Faith to ensure our soldiers and common-folk have the protection of the Gods they need against supernatural threats. May the Gods grant you patience and wisdom in your trials ahead - Scribed by my dictation -- Lady Eirene Malvici

I trust he'll be an excellent Dominus.
I'm not certain if I should offer him my congratulations or my condolences, however.

Imagine the trouble I could cause with stories of that man before his entry into the priesthood...
Not that I'd do that to a dear friend.

Perhaps I need to pay a little more attention to the mundane world than I have felt I've had time to, lately.

Relationship Note on Aldwin
I've met Dominus Aldwin. He's a wise and learned scholar. His very first official words to us all as Dominus are encouraging. I have great hopes that he can mend the rift between the Faith and the Houses. Divided and at odds, we can only fall to the demons and the forces arrayed against us.

Relationship Note on Aldwin
I have known Aldwin for many years. Ever since I was reassigned to Arx, as a freshly-minted Archlector, getting lost in the halls of the Rectory and complaining about the cold. In a world where even the pious can sometimes regard their new peers as rivals, the then-Archscholar stood out for his warm welcome, and his kind assistance in ensuring that I knew what I needed to know, in order to best serve the Sentinel and the Faith.
Since then, this first impression has has only been reinforced. Our new Dominus is a man of uncommon wisdom, as one might expect from one who served so long as the Voice of Vellichor. But more, he is a man who exemplifies the virtues of the Pantheon that we all strive to fulfill. I can think of no better choice to lead the Faith, and the Faithful, in these times of confusion and conflict.
May the gods bless Dominus Aldwin, Voice of the Pantheon, Closest to the Gods.

I know that it has been a while since I wrote about you, but I keep the memory of you alive. I know that you have been taken through the Shining Lands to Elysia, but I still wish you were here. There is not a day that I don't think about you. I remember how you wanted to adopt, so I've been donating to some orphanages as I am able. People just didn't understand you, not like I did. I wish I could change the past, but I can't. I bought that fox that we always wanted, named her Moxie. I know that you also had wanted a cat, and I'll see about that too. Love you, I hope that you somehow know what I'm writing.
Love, Merek.

Of all the Templar in the order, who chose me to stand guard of the trial against my mentor?
I can not speak of the specifics, but I was there, and...
Is cruelty a virtue?
Was this a test? Did I need to prove myself loyal to my oaths first and my mentor second? Are you satisfied?
There is nothing-- nothing-- more important to me then my oaths.
I will keep them even if I am not trusted to.

Relationship Note on Fawkuhl
I know you as the man, then Legate, who saw an orphan child left to the church and in that child saw something of value.
I know you as the man who when I questioned, when I wondered, when I worried, I could always go to and ask for advice, and when I took that advice into the world it made me a better man.
I know you as the man who at every turn encouraged me. When I doubted you showed listened to me and heard me and gave me the time I needed to understand.
I know you as the man who told me that in this world where the future seemed written in the hands of the great, an orphan bound to no family or land could be more then the lowest of the low, that if I had faith I could matter.
I know you as a man who smiled with warmth and laughed.
I know you as a man.
...
...
...
And may the gods have mercy on us all.

A year ago, my life was, oh, about the same as it was five years before. I lived at the Murder because my clientele was largely in the Lower Boroughs and because the rent was cheap and because, I think, it annoyed Mother -- I never understood why, although now I do, but my fortunes have changed enough that it's far too late to move to the house in the Uppers. I told fortunes and read the cards and read the bowl, and did occasional errands for Michal, or Moira, and why not? I foresaw no change for me. I foresaw none of this. I had no particular responsibilities. I had no particular duties. I had no particular ambitions, or goals, or nightmares.
Today.
I run a business now, and people's livelihoods depend on choices I make. People who don't necessarily have anywhere else to go. Murder ain't a charity, but ... times are tough all over. My mother, who I thought would live forever like the dragon her temper made her resemble, is dead. My daughter is one of the foremost weaponsmiths of the whole city. I love her as I have never loved anything in my life and I worry for her every day. I pay a giant hulk of a man to follow her around and keep her safe even though I have no idea what from. I care about everything I never cared about before. I have people ... family ... under my protection and I feel -- things -- about that.
And I pray more. On purpose.
And call down the nightmares. Hah.
Funny old thing, life.
