Several weeks ago I hosted an art event, where many of the cities artists came to work on their own things as I worked on the memorial statue for those Grayson family members who fell in Bastion. It was cathartic to get to work alongside each of these people, and listen to Lord Talwyn Saik play as we all worked. Former Guildmaster Joscelin Arterius even came for a spell, to watch us work and do our thing.
That day I think I managed to finally get some of the likeness of Prince Niklas and Prince Augustus to finally take shape. Getting people's faces right in stone is hard. If I didn't know any better, I would think that Niklas was probably even smiling at me from that stone face of his. The whole thing, the statue, the people, the music, it was all just perfect.

What's so confusing about the words "No." And "Fuck off." That some how that isn't specific enough?!

I have spent the hours since waking up to the discovery of dead Elfblight orchids trying to learn of the cause, and perhaps, beginning to devise a solution. As someone who spends a lot of time in gardens, and not just for the pretty surrounds, I am hopeful that I can help in this. There is so much still to learn and test in this endeavor.

The wardrobe is finally fixed and out of the shop. now on display at the crafter's guild hall. The design spans across many years of learning the city, and talking to many within the city of what they wish to see in a design which would showcase a part of their home within the city.
The real trick was getting each of the puzzles to work together, as they were carved individually, then set within practice runs. There were many versions of the wardrobe and now three people who helped test the final run of the puzzles have ownership of the similar design to that which is on display.
While there might be rumors of the last design, and it was indeed a fire from the design which worked its way through the shops. All the cats and Waddles are perfectly safe, and buildings can be rebuilt.
The kitchen survived the incident and we've been putting out several plates and soups for those that are hungry after their journeys throughout the city and finding their way back to the Lowers.
The key factor within the wardrobe which all should heed. It was not Raja Culler's fault.

Relationship Note on Noah
Your visits are a source of excitement among the apprentices, and I couldn't rob them of that without feeling bad. Sometimes I like to give others in the city a chance to buy a dagger if they happen by the shop, especially since I stock it without any fanfare these days. I suppose I could start sending a preview item to consider, but an Archduke at the shop brings in a lot of business.

I don't know why we play these games with each other. I have forgiven you for not having me as a patron. I am still thinking if I forgive Tikva about it. However, you should really just send me a price and your daggers. Why must you make me walk all the way to your shop?

Relationship Note on Atria
The lady sought information on a topic I felt I had enough knowledge to get her started. I come to discover I actually know a lot more I assumed. We had an enlightening afternoon and I was delighted to host Lady Atria at the Villa and spend time in one of my favorite spaces. I look forward to the next time our paths cross and perhaps I can persuade her to visit the shops with me for some inspiration on the designs of new gowns.

With all that storming going on, there wasn't much sense in going out. Certainly not to the marketplace since that would have been fruitless. Often I'll spend bad weather days coming up with new designs or reading old Oathlands tales. As the days dragged on, though, I kinda got bored with that stuff and pulled out some of my old sketch books. Like, really old. Old like when I first mastered the Oathlands style with steel. Gods, those were the days. Anyhow, I came across one that I remember being really proud of, so I worked on making some new ones in that style. Simple things, but looking over them brought back a bunch of memories that almost no one will see, but that wasn't really the point anyhow.

The bounds of fidelity, devotion and family seem soft things until they are called upon. It's only then, on those difficult days, that you remember just how great a weight they can be. They are the foundation of my life though and everything that makes it worthwhile. And so today I bow to Limerance again, in thanks for all I've been blessed with, and in prayer I've the strength to bear it and the road it takes me on.

My return to the city of Arx has been with very little fanfare. I have found myself somewhat changed after spending so much time in the city of my birth, my beloved city of Tor. My intentions to settle the children in preparation for formal schooling took a bit of a turn. I cannot say I consider myself very maternal, but I found it difficult to leave them behind. They have become little people with their own personalities and for the first time I felt a deep bond with each of them. I could not allow the opportunity to spend this priceless time pass me by. Especially since I was robbed of such a time with my own mother.
Not even a full day back to the capitol and I found myself in excellent company at the Black Fox. The messengers have been working double time, and meetings have been scheduled for at least the next couple of days. The endless work of ensuring the upkeep and success of Tor will keep me busy.
But for now, I am off to the markets and shops where I will no doubt purchase more presents to spoil the children. It is a foreign feeling. I believe they call it guilt.

Hope. It is something we all cling do. However, when it fades, it leaves a hole in our lives. My own sense of hope has been steadily fading. The more and more I look around myself, I see sadness and pain. I see destitution and ruin. It is getting harder and harder to see the light. It is becoming more difficult to hold the torch and keep fighting. I often feel as if the gods have all turned their eyes from me. They have more important things to worry about than some abandoned street urchin struggling to find her way in this world. But, what brings me that hope and light are some rather good people in my life. They lift me by the chin when I allow myself to get mopey. They refill my empty cup so to speak. They remind me that when the shadows come crushing inwards, then I have something to hold onto. But, I still can't help but to feel this continuous nagging in the back of my head reminding me that it's all worthless. This life only gives difficult, painful choices. You just have to choose the one that stinks the least. Still, I am eternally thankful for those in my life that help keep my head above the water of utter despair, keep me gasping for air, keep me fighting on.

General Pasquale Malespero,
My friend. My mentor. Words fail me for what you are experiencing right now. I wish I had more to offer you.
Sometimes, life is unfair. I know this. But this kind of thing? It's the hardest thing and the most unfair thing. The unknowing.
I hope you get clearer answers soon. I will always be a listening ear if you find it sufficient.

As always, the Faith of the Pantheon continues to offer open doors to the community at large for those in need, in any weather, including the heartbreaking aftermath of these difficult storms. We commend those noble houses who are stepping up their devotion to Gild in times of need, though I feel no particular need to call the heralds to do so.
For myself and the Church, I will be performing dawn services at the Shrine to Mangata and at the Shrine of Petrichor in the evenings for the next few days and look forward. I hope that the faithful of Arx will join me for morning beer and evening bread.
