Herein lies the entries to the journal of one Master Tailor, Lady Dejenchri Seamstress of Firiona Vie's Champions. She resided in the realm of the Dragon Venekor. Twas a harsh life for our Lady Seamstress. This volume was of her life after she returned to her beloved Qeynos from a long life within the walls of Freeport and Neriak. Our Order will continue to forward these as we decipher them. From what we can tell, there are days, weeks and sometimes even months between entries.I did travel through the scorching wasteland of Lavastorm to reach Solusek Ro's temple with my Champion. He did have a task to perform for his Lord Mithanial Marr. I look forward to aiding him in it's completion, though I worry about the memories that returning to the foul temple of Cazik Thule will provoke in me. I have all but subsumed the vile things, of my vile deeds. Being with the Champions has been a wonder in word and deed. Slowly, I am regaining a sense of who and what I was before I left Qeynos for foul Freeport and then to that vile city of Neriak. I can still feel some of the taint those two cities have left within my heart, though Tunare has cleansed much of it. I wonder if She has left what She did for an abject lesson?Though, I must ask myself, was it She that left it ... or did somehow Innorruk taint me whilst carrying Neho's children? That, the taint of Him could not be cleared by our Mother? I find myself still drawn to Teir'dal yet. I would rather it would be Koada'dal as would be right and proper. My heart is still bruised and battered, though it is mending.Sir Virtue is doing a great deed, though I doubt he knows it not. His attentions are more than mere flattery to me. It shows me that yes, I am a woman worthy of attention as well as respect. I value him as my Champion and as a friend. More than that? Though he is rather attractive and his eyes, those very blue eyes, are something one could get lost in ... Tunaria does love him. And, I could never ... poach I believe the human word is for it .. someone. And, in truth, I wish someone who would cleave to me first after their chosen Deity. I had far too much of ... being less than even second.There are a few people I do miss speaking with that remain in Freeport. I was surprised when Paikis did find his way there. No, not truly surprised. He was always too arrogant, too vain, to truly remain within Qeynos. Though, I hold hope that one day, he shall find his way back home.I think she I miss the most was my ward Nocens. Poor little Fae. Her spirit bud had been tainted by Innorruk before she was born. I hope that Tunare can heal her spirit bud, that it might unfold again within a Fae and be happy, instead of angry and so very full of hate.Lord Ambrose...nay, tis more truth to call him Arbiter. He is a rather interesting fellow. I am hoping that he can teach me the ways of our people, for I never truly learned them at my mothers knee. Tis hard to do when you are not at your mothers knee very often, but off playing with children of other races? And, to my chagrin, I know far more Teir'dal history and ways than I know of any other people. To the point, I must remind myself that the elves I am around would scarcely like to hear that language come from my lips. Though, the language does come unbidden at times. And, I must struggle to remember my own language.Again, I must wonder, is that taint left deliberately by Her? Or, am I somehow tainted by Him? Is that why my back aches, the scars that one did leave? I should ask Lord Ambrose, yet ... I hesitate.Only time will tell, for I can not.

I traveled again with my Champion, though our Gods did call us apart from each other. My poor Champion. He has great affection for one young lady in our Guild. I have been told by this young lady that she also holds not affection, but love in her heart for him as well. Yet, one that she calls friend and seems to be more to her, has recently joined us. From all that I can tell, he once was a Champion as well. It is ... interesting to see events unfold within the Champions. When I dwelt within the walls of Qeynos, my attentions were rather simple. My loom was first and foremost until I adopted my Chai. And then she became my world, with my loom providing an income for us that I might be sure she would be safe out in our war torn world. For, she was determined to serve our Queen as a combatant. My Chai has always been brave, though rather foolhardy.Thus, whilst my attentions were more inward and family oriented, I truly did not befriend many. OH! I had customers galore! My prices were well within the range that everyone could buy my goods and services! But, I could only call a few friends. Some of those that I enjoyed chatting with on a professional basis, I have reconnected with. Joyfully so. I am rather glad to see Aramadil so advanced in both his professions. I look back upon his kindness when I first started my craft with fondness and embarrasment. I thought I had known all I needed to know, and look back at how silly I truly was!The other that was most kind to me was Iggiboo. And twas she that I frequently went to for the potions and oils needed in my craft. I am rather thrilled to be within the same guild she is, and rather honoured too.Lord Ambrose has been guiding my reading on our people. I am ... honoured that he takes the time out of his very busy life to instruct me on the being of Koada'dal. I have promised him, howsomever, that I will not wear such strong colours around him again. He is ... a very interesting person. Though opinionated, but then so is my Champion. I believe it comes from being holy warriors. Truly, I have also seen such fervor with ... well ... the opposite side of the coin, in the knights of shadow and the dreaded inquisitors of Lucan's armies.I would much rather have Lord Ambrose or Sir Virtue in the front of me. Never did I truly enjoy being around those others.Qeynos is my home, and ever has been, and I am glad I am home.I have made many new friends, and have been happier than I had in a very long time.I ramble journal. I will put pen to paper again another time.

I really like the way that you put this together. I had to re-read each part a few times to digest it but at the same time i think that added to the alure. In fact I think i could say that i even feel a little dirty like i just read my little sister diary.As a side not do you really have an ambro and neho in your guild. That's crazy similar to Ekuthh & my own main characters.So I'll be here waiting for the next installment. Don't make me wait to long... and let it be known that i am not above bribery or groveling toi get what i want.

I grow more confused as I study the texts on my race the Lord Ambrose directed me to. I learn more and more of our Sundered Kin, the Teir'dal than I do of my own race. Though, there is an interesting theory that we three were once a single race, the Elddar Elves. I know not if this be true, but it would explain much.For now though, I am still rather confused and my education poorly lacking. I felt I had to write this as I am loathe to confess it to others. For a myriad of reasons to be truthful. Ah well, I hear the knock at the door signifying that the meal I have ordered for this time of day has arrived. Tis not my Chai's wonderful cooking, but tis adequate for my needs.Till I put pen to parchment again.

This day did start out rather lazy. Though, it did end far more than that. I had not had time to pursue books whilst living in those most foul of cities. Now, I do. And I find that it is rather satisfying to finish finding the bits and pieces of a book and have the binder put it back together for me. Thus Champion Hamstring did find me out and about in Antonica. He did need aid with a few things and I enjoyed aiding him and a Dwarf, Sir Aoril. I have journeyed with Sir Aoril before. He is a rather ... well, he is a Dwarf. How much more can be said? Other than he is prone to berserk rages, he is a wonderful warrior. Thus, did we attempt to bring true death some some of the undead out in the Thundering Steppes. I wonder how long those old bones will stay at rest? With all the evil afoot in our world, I fear our work was for naught and they will rise again like the tide! My friend Ajleya then needed aid to secure for her an earring that would let her breath water. Again, I was happy to aid her. And, twas fun being in the company of so many Champions! Afterwards, it was just Ajleya, myself and Lady Summerwind. I did find a Ratonga assassin carrying some odd orders. It seemed he was to recover a rather interesting stone with magical properties. Well, that stone is now in my possession and the city has heard tale of it already! The Champion's status in the eyes or our fair city has risen and I am thrilled to be a part of that. The only detriment to these excursions was ... well .. to put it bluntly, I er ... 'led the charge' as my Champion would put it. Thus, some repair to the clothes I was wearing was needful. Had he been there, he would have had stern words with me. I am rather glad he was not, only because ... I am used to being by myself an I am learning how to stand my ground and let one who wears metal armour take the blows meant for me. Sir Virtue was occupied elsewhere whilst we were out and about. I know not where as the Gods did not see fit to tell any of us. I believe he would have enjoyed himself as well. I will have to make a trip into Qeynos Harbour on the morrow as I did find a foul necromancer book with strong spells in it on a minion of Varsoon the Undying. It does not surprise me that this demon had the foul thing. With luck and the grace of Tunare, it will be turned to good instead of for evil. Thus far, She has given the power to the transcriber to change the vile spells I have found to healing spells. I hope that this doth continue. I did have some discourse with Lord Ambrose this day. He had a little bit of time to spare from the orphans he doth care for. He did pass some of that answering his students questions. For I fear I did inundate him when he walked into the hall. Poor man. He feels himself so old. Aye, he has seen many decades, yet ... we Koada'dal live vast numbers of centuries. How can one feel that old? I know myself to be a goodly number of years, yet, I have not kept track of them. Truth be told, I do not even remember the date of my natal anniversary. Ah well. I respect Lord Ambrose's opinions and experience, for all that he is a cantankerous, opinionated, blunt male. He is willing to make accommodations for those of us not in his Order. Though, to hear Lord Coltaine and Lady Halisstra denigrate him by calling him an inquistor rather annoyed me. But, who other than this journal can I speak of this to? I know not what to make of the Fae who claims close to Godhood. And I am familiar with female Teir'dal. Ah well ... things shall work out in the end, they tend to one way or another. Life is far from dull, that is very truthful. Now, time for me to rest.

I was far to tired to put quill to parchment prior to this.The Lady Halisstra and I managed to aid my Champion in completing a task ordained by his God Mithanial Marr. He was so happy. As the day had been rather taxing on him, it was good to see him smile. Poor Virtue, he feels himself unworthy of Tunaria, yet cares for her. He flirts with me, I believe, because I have told him that my heart is locked against him. I know that he doth find me attractive and would not say nay should I agree to a tumble. Yet, I do not wish a tumble with anyone.In truth, I wish for the kind of love that I see in Lord Aros and Lady Summerwind. They are happy together. I have seen others about Qeynos that seem to be just as happy. That is what I wish for myself and will wait for it to happen. Thus, tumble free shall I stay.I find it ... amusing? ... mayhaps, that the way I dress is a consternation to poor Lady Halisstra. She did ask me of it when we traveled together. I spent far too much time in that dreaded uniform that I am rather glad to be able to wear what I will. And my choice of clothes show it. There will, upon occasion, times when I dress in something a bit more protective, yet I am rather happy with my choice of clothes. Yet, her words did anger me. I know that it is ... remnants from my time around her kind. Though she is not from Freeport OR Neriak. It seems she grew up outside of either city. It is odd having met a Teir'dal that was not raised in either city. I am not sure if I like the Lady or no. I do however, trust her. How can I not? She is a Champion and Sir Raeyzej has trusted her with his heart. He does not strike me as one who trusts easily. We shall see how that unfolds then.My studies on my own race plod on apace. Though, I have added learning the histories of the land surrounding my home of Qeynos as well. I had not known that the poor ghost of Holly Windstalker had once been a ranger. I believe that is one reason she still walks Norrath.Lord Myrddin has an affliction that he seeks a cure for. I am unsure of how it happened, yet, whilst in Neriak I did see others with his affliction and ... I hurt for him. Tis difficult for one as good as he to be ... vampire. I do not know if there is a cure or naught one. I hope, for him, that there is a cure. He has a sweet child, adopted as my Chai was, who truly is an innocent in this world, for all that she is Ratonga.Feir'dal raising a Ratonga is a bit more strange than Koada'dal raising a Stout. But, he seems to be doing well with her. Though young, she is an up and coming carpenter.I miss seeing my daughter. Tis good that I am learning about Nedefidia and we talk with each other very much, I miss ... her. My dark one. The one thing that I was glad for, though I could never hold her or tell her whom I was, I COULD see her grow! After a certain age, I was ... not precisely welcomed ... yet I was tolerated when Neho did visit. And, there, I could see her growth and progress and delight in it. From what I have gathered, she is expected to enter the service of the Gods.The night of her birth, after Neho whisked her away, they did put her to the Test. For theirs was an old family, still followed of the old ways. When Neho told me of this, I raged at him. Poor Neho, he was so confused at me. He survived the bite of the asp, why would HIS daughter not? He could not understand when I tried to explain to him WHY this was so very wrong and how DARE he put my child at risk.Needless to say, I was rather glad to hear that not only did she survive her first night of life alone, she was never bitten. For them, that means the Gods have marked that child. Thus, she was due to enter Service. I ... left ... before that could happen. Though, Nedefidia entered into Tunare's service at an early age. It seems that she'd been able to see the spirits that surround us since the day of her birth. Being able to speak with my mother at great length, she did show me all that I missed.It did make me heart-sore, yet ... I am very glad that we managed to get her out of the city. Nehotep did not explain to me that ... not only would the girls have been dispatched had his family or the Lords that ruled the Teir'dal nobility found them, my life also would have been forfeit. Neho would only have been banished, his name striken from every family record, every place he had touched. But, he would be alive. I am so very glad that my girls live.I was asked, am I happy with who I am.And, I could not answer that. I am happy with my skill as a tailor, though it is lacking. I know not why the Gods see fit to keep me from progressing, yet I will try to learn Their lesson, if I can decypher it! I, would be happy with myself if I could just. Oh, I do not know. I do not understand. I am finding my footing within Qeynos once again. I am unsatisfied with staying home and being naught but a tailor. I am happy with my ability as a wizard. I know it is because I travel alone so much again, or when I travel with Sir Virtue, to know that his sword arm are pledged to my service, yet his heart to another?Yet again, I find myself second. Ah well. I believe I can answer, aye, I am happy with myself. It is only my age being the reason for my melancholy. Lord Ambrose feels himself old and older, yet, I am probably only a bit younger than him. Mother did prove to me that aye, I truly had been born in Felwithe. Nay, I do not remember it. For, unbeknownst to me, I had suffered a head injury when we fleed from that city. Thus, I truly do not remember my early childhood.She also finally, told me of my brother and father. It seems that he too was a tailor of some skill. Now I understand where my love of the needle and shuttle come from! My brother was training to be a ranger. And, it seems I loved him beyond all others. Tis where my love of the woods comes from. He would take me out into the woods with him, showing me all that he could and I would come back with treasures.Mother did manage to save some of those treasures. I had always wondered why she had them around our room. She finally explained to me. She never truly knew I could not remember my earliest years in our home. Thus, I am far older than I seem to be, and it doth seem that I ... feel my age. It is odd to know that, I shall out last everyone to whom I feel closest to. I did learn an odd thing. I learned that a Teir'dal can truly love. Though theirs is not a society that would allow it, there are some that can truly love. Tis amazing. And yet, it holds out hope for me that, one day, mayhaps my dark daughter will find her way home to me.Ah, enough of my melancholy ramblings! And my self pity. What happens will happen and the Gods willing, twill be good!I have a fashion show to attend and an outfit to replace!Though, if Lord Aros does not appear, I will be rather wroth. Well, not really, I should have enough time to remake the suit he wears!

Life and the Gods have a way of interrupting what one wishes to do. The show Ajleya hosted as wonderful, as I expected it to be! She was wonderful! I wish more could have seen it, yet am very happy with how many DID see it.Though, the party afterward ... well, let's just say there were several around Brell's everlasting keg that Ajleya was granted gift of. One of them was Sir Virtue. I believe I need to speak with him briefly on drinking that much fast enough to become rather ... inebriated. Not that I mind it, twas only rather fast. AN he did get ill several times. As did several of the other drinkers. I would not leave that for Ajleya to clean up. So, when all had left, I went back in and cleaned the floors for her. Tis easy enough to do really. Why is it a male feels emasculated in pink? I found Sir Virtue rather handsome in pink. I will never understand males. Truly I won't.I am slowly starting to form a friendship with Nescia. He is a rather interesting male. Though he is Teir'dal, he claims to have known love. An, truth be told, I believe him. Why? I can not truly say. But, his words have the ring of truth.Now, I am not the most trusting of individuals! I used to be. But now? Now, if someone says something I tend to doubt it. I truly expect deceit at every word and deed. Though, I try to fight that with my every breath. I know that these people are trustworthy in the main. Yet, my time in Freeport and Neriak have coloured my views on the world as we know it.Only time will tell if he spoke the truth or no.Lord Ambrose had some wise words for me. For, I truly fear that the Lord of Anger and Hate has left something wicked inside of me. I did carry half Teir'dal children under my heart for a good many moons. How could there be no taint of Innorruk? Especially as one of my daughters was spared the bite of the snake? How else? Tunare would not have been able to protect her? Or would She have been able to?Tis a thing I should ask Lord Ambrose.Though, he too puzzles me. But, for other reasons. Ah well. I will keep those in my heart for now, as I truly do not have the words for what the puzzlements are. He did look at how I have set up my altar for Her. He said that I had done a fine job in honouring Her. I do not think he knows what that truly means. And that, my feeling that there is something amiss with how the altar and how I have it, mayhaps be one of my own perception. How close to the truth that is! An I had not realized it. Twas naught but the feelings of guilt for seemingly turning my back, an then in truth, on all that I held dear.I love my daughters, all three. I miss two of them terribly, though Chai and I can sometimes receive a smuggled letter, an she lets me know how my dark one is doing. It seems she HAS entered into Innorruk's service. And, I am heartily saddened.Ah, I believe I have grown rather maudlin these days. Seeing others so happy, and being envious of Lady Summerwind and Lord Aros, Lady Halisstra and Sir Raeyzej....even Tunaria and Sir Virtue and this new fellow Swiftblade. Lord Myrddin has his daughter Hustler, and in some strange way, Lord Ratonga has his bosom companion Blood. I have Nedefidia, though she and I do not speak often. She holds me accountable for my sins. An, she is not a forgiving person in truth. I believe it comes from my mother making sure she went nowhere outside of Castleview without her until she was of age travel to the Queens Colony to hone her newly learned skills.Even her spirit companion had been a reflection of that. And, she holds the fact that she is half Teir'dal up to show that I am guilty. Aye, I know I am guilty. I would have no twins had I stayed in Qeynos. Yet, I felt it my duty to travel to Freeport, to take residence so I might provide enough coin for my daughter to be able to stay on her feet until she had enough of a nest egg that I could leave.Though, as I was, I met Neho and fell head over heels in love. Most likely, it was lust. I had never truly had a paramour in my whole life. And then, not only was he tall, he was handsome, and seemingly kind. He was also different. He was dark where my kind tends to be light. He was .. Neho. I now look upon his image in my heart and realize that, though I will always have a part of him within me, I no longer love him. If it were love. I have been told that love was not wanting to be with someone for the rest of your life, it was willing to wake up next to them for the rest of your life. To deal with any nastiness that comes up, such as feedings and nappies and the like.I know Neho did not love me. And, there were many days I was glad that I lived alone. So, was it love? Or was it infatuation with the first male that showed a true interest? I will never know.But, when Lord Ambrose took my arm, twas an odd feeling. I know not what it was. Most likely the divine energy that runs through him reacting badly with the power of Ro running through me. Ah well, I shall never know, nor worry on it past now.My learning still goes apace ... though, tis a plodding pace!Lord Myrddin approaches the Concordium for a possible cure for his affliction.I fear that, there is no cure. That there will come a day when, he will only be vampire. How he has held onto his Feir'dalness, I shall never know. I believe tis the love he still holds in his heart for his departed wife. I hope that will aid him well.And now, my energy runs low an I must sleep for a time.

We are unsure as to who this Sir Virtue is. Our research suggests this was a Paladin of some note during the Seamstress' life. Ambrose appears to be one Baron Ambrose Manywines, a Koada'Dal templar in the service of Tunare. If this is the case, Haleth was his current human wife. Of the rest, we are unsure of at this time, yet we continue our research.I finally figured out what was truly wrong with my altar to Tunare. Twas naught the altar and set up...twas the whole room. It was wrong. My perception was off as Lord Ambrose had suggested to me. Thus, I did away with the bed I no longer sleep in and replaced it with a small garden. An, I did take the altar off the table it was on. Now, my room feels far better.I feel the pull to Felwithe again. And yet again, I fought it off. I ... do not know if I truly wish to travel there. I will, yet twill wait a time longer.Poor Joet fell asleep in my guest room. We'd been chatting at the bank in North Qeynos and was talking of books. He did look to see which books Nescia had, but could not fathom some of them. I showed him my home and he was surprised to see the room upstairs, an the rather large bed that is up there. As I'd explained to him just earlier that I doth sleep upon the cushions in my room he knew that the bed was not one I slept in. Thus, the lure of the comfort of a bed, as opposed to his bed roll on either a floor somewhere or his tent in the woods was more than he could handle. Thus, he succumbed to sleep.Before I lay down to rest, I did procure a repast so he could break his fast when he woke. I did let him know that my home and guest room were open to all the Champions. I would not begrudge them that little thing.I have come to care for several of the Champions. I respect others. And a few, I keep an optimistic eye upon. I am finding I am lapsing into the language that is used only with close kith an kin. I ... I do not mind this. Tis a wonderful thing to find thee and thine flowing from my mouth once again. I find Lord Ambrose a puzzle though. Always writing something in scrolls. Ah well. Sir Virtue and poor Swiftblade seem to be competing for Tunaria. To be young and have two so handsome vie for ones attention? Did I ever have that? I doubt it. Ninluen an Miex did a simulation of it a very long time ago. I find my thoughts turning to Nin...I have seen no clue or word of his existence. I hope that he is safe where he is. As for Meixelapitz...I have seen him once. Though, the jokes between him and Nin as to whom was the most handsome...as a good tailor, I gave neither reply in the positive. Though, if I'd my druthers ... twould have been Nin. I know that if he'd pursued in honest ernest, I would have ... returned his affections. Yet, I knew that he was acting only in jest.I did travel with Sir Aoril again. For a Dwarf, he is a rather civilized sort. For a Dwarf. Hamstring did a tricky thing to a poor goblin name of Foomby. Ah well. One day that poor goblin will get what he truly seeks. This day was naught it.Tunaria was mischief incarnate again. But, tis an interesting mischief. Sir Virtue was about for a short time. I missed seeing Ajleya, for she was truly asleep. Haleth was about. Another that I am growing rather fond of. I try to spend my day as optimistic as I can. Yet, deep inside of me, I truly wish to curl up and cry. Oh, deep in the night I do this. Yet, it is not ... it does not help any. I know what I need, yet have no way to find it. Nor, would I go looking for it.I am no longer very heart sore. Not that I no longer love Neho. I will always love him. Yet, I do not think I am ready to ... love again. Nor will I tumble a man for the sake of a tumble. Tis not done! Oh, others do. I do not begrudge them that. It is just ... I wish more. In honesty, I enjoy traveling with Sir Virtue for several reasons. The first is simple, yet not obvious. Companionship. Aye, his sword arm is strong and shield arm is steady. Aye, I feel safer around him. Twould be my second reason. Yet, the first... I have traveled alone so much of my life, I am lonely. An I am tired of being lonely. It was why I fell so hard for Neho so fast, when my mind and very soul were clamouring at me to LEAVE Freeport.So, I will continue my merry way as I have for most of my life. I will join when people ask for aid. I find, if I ask the Champions, I can have aid most of the time. Tis a great surprise to me...yet I am happy for it. Yet, I am loathe to ask for just the boon companionship. For they, too have their own tasks to accomplish.Enough of my maudlin emotions. Tis time for me to rest...after I place a new research scroll an a book I did find.((edited because some how, not the entire entry showed up))

Just read everything. Loved every word. There is so much... emotion on this diary. It is really hard to not care for the character and hope that everything turns out to the best for her. Then again who would want to not care for her? <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Can't wait for more. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

It was a spectacular day! I spent a good portion of it in the desert of the Sinking Sands with Nescia. He did aid me greatly in a task set to me by a carpet merchant. Finally, we needed the aid of Lord Azol and Lady Summerwind. They helped me dispatch the djinn Lord that I was tricked into finding. This on top of Lord Ambrose aiding me in a task to find several different wargs. The coin was quite good, and twas the only reason I accepted the task. Once I had given my word, I couldst nay finish it no? Thus, Lord Ambrose's wonderful help. I know not if I have spoken of this before, yet he is an inspiration to me. Though, he is rather intimidating. Nay, I am not young, though I feel young! I wonder if it were not my raising of Chai and my life in the Baubbleshire that has given me this ... perception. I find that I am rather unlike many of my race. I know that my experiences amonst our sundered kin have also coloured my perceptions on life. I think that is why I am starting to feel comfortable with Nescia. He is ... very unlike Neho.Poor Tunaria. She had counciled me to pursue Lord Ambrose if I needed someone to care for. I think she is ... worried ... about any that might interfere between her and Sir Virtue. I tried then to reassure her that as I know her feelings, my heart is closed to the good Knight except at my Champion. I only hope that she does not break his heart. I would be most wroth with her.I had thought that Lord Ambrose and Haleth were ... if not wed, then paired together. An, from Haleths words earlier, my suspicions were confirmed. Besides, whether she understands or no, Lord Ambrose intimidates me greatly.In truth, Nescia intimidates me less than Lord Ambrose doth. The whys truly are simple. Lord Ambrose is older than I, more experienced than I. He has never turned his back upon his race, upon the city that sheltered us. He is confident in being Koada'dal. He has never felt the touch of our Mother pull away from him so as to be non-existent. How can I not be not intimidated?As for Nescia? Aye, he is more experienced. I am unsure of his age. An aye, he is Teir'dal ... yet there is ... aught there that ... makes me feel more comfortable. It could be the fact that he is a druid, a fury. It could be that ... we have shared experiences. Our paths never truly crossed whilst I resided within Freeport, an for that, I am grateful. Sir Virtue once again was kept busy with his Order an we didst not see hide nor hair of him. I fear there will come a day when he will feel inadequate with his ability to be my Champion. I have slowed my training, yet I can not stop it fully. I am ... glad to be learning more how to control this power the Solusek Ro has granted me. Yet, I see myself gaining more and more power than Sir Virtue can keep up with. I am thrilled to be companion and friend to him.Though, a rather odd thing did happen to me this day. I was told by one that he ... enjoyed my company. I thought back and was astounded. None has ever told me that. Today had me so euphoric that, I truly did not see Nescia for any naught a Guild mate. To the point that ... uncharacteristically, I was hugging most everyone this day! To include him, to his consternation and confusion. I can only hope that I stay this way, though will I? I doubt it. I also met the largest Sarnak I have ever seen! She was ... huge! Though, it seems she is a fish eater and rather kind. We shall see. Her name is Guilia. I think mayhaps I shall look forward to seeing how well she fares in our overly small to her city.I feel my heart becoming lighter with each passing day, an I mis-hope this is naught but an illusion. I have people who are willing to accept me for ... me. Only time will tell how my heart truly feels.

I put my quill to parchment in anger this day. Why? Why did she tell me that she loved Virtue with all her heart? Only to accept court from Swiftblade AND Sir Noskire? Why do I feel that she lied to me? That she truly does not love Virtue, but is rather enamoured of him? She tells me that she likes them all, but she does not know which one she cares for more!An Sir Virtue's order has kept him busy of late, thus he has not been about. I could not believe my eyes when Sir Noskire and she started holding hands and acting ... like they were in love? She dangles them like playthings upon a string! It hurts most to know that ... as I was coming to care for Virtue, she claims him. Thus, I will not pursue any affection I have for him! And now? I ... I truly wish to pursue Virtue, yet not for himself, not for his love. But ... to be .. vengeful to her. I will do no such thing! I am better than that!To be truthful to oneself always, I do not believe that there could be permanence twixt Virtue an I. Though I care for him very much. I ... I doubt that there can be permanence twixt myself and any. I fear that my experiences have ... shadowed me from being able to let my heart truly feel ever again. This ... thing with Tunaria has only made that wall about my heart harder.Virtue had done quite a bit to start the chipping down. Nescia was ... continuing it. In his own, subtle, way. Being long lived ... lends the ability to ... wait. Ah, to be able to wait. I think that young Tunaria does not have that ability.Well, I am over much of my anger. Nescia did ... aid me in this. I had not realized I had been as angered as I was when I first saw Nescia. I ... he took me to his rooms where we sat and spoke. I am rather glad that we elves need not the great amount of sleep humans and barbarians do! We spoke the night and part of the day away!After, we visited Ajleya. Her home is so lovely. She is planning on what to put in the attic, the garden area. Nescia saw a grand ballroom an she loved the idea. The only thing I could see was grass and trees and plants for children to play in and amongst, with areas for study and sleeping an ... in truth, a nursery.It mayhap was thinking back to Chai, and upon the concepts of love, yet, whatever it was ... I could hear the childrens laughter in the house. An twas only Ajleya, Zente her spoorling friend, Nescia an myself.Ah well. I did see Giulia this day. She is rather intimidating yet, she is proving herself to be a true Champion. I am ... glad that the Lord Aros and Lady Summerwind have given her this chance.Lord Myrddin was looking well at the meeting. I am hoping that, he can find a cure for his vampirism. He is ... a fascinating person. I am rather glad that I have been given the chance of meeting him.I shall write more later, for I am falling asleep over my pen.

It seems that anger does not settle down within me as it used to. I only thought myself over my anger. By, why was I angered in truth? Virtue an Tunaria had not pledged themselves to each other. Thus, Virtue's honour was not slighted. Tunaria is free to do as she will. An, in truth, she spoke of her feelings of the moment.What hurt was ... I'd started to care deeply for Virtue. I had not realized that. I felt that, since she'd had prior claim to him, it was my duty to ... harden my heart. I would not be second again in a males life. I had to be sure of my position as first in his heart. Him being human ... scared me. Scared me almost as badly as if he'd been Teir'dal.Teir'dal. Nescia is Teir'dal, yet I feel comfortable with him...as if he is close kin. I realized today that ... he might wish more. Yet, with my heart belonging to Virtue, how can that be? I ... for some reason, I have come to see him as a brother. I .. I only hope that he did not .. hope for more? I wonder what Lord Ambrose would say at that? Yet, I feel safe with Nescia. He makes me smile. A feat I would not have ... thought possible with my history of the male of his race.Virtue however, Virtue makes my heart beat faster. I feel the fires of Solusek's forge flow within me whilst I am near him. An have since I first laid eyes upon his face. His eyes, those very blue eyes. An, his face, formed well with his beard just right. What also caught my attention was ... his vibrant personality an his sense of ... honour. There are so many things we have had to ... forsake ... in this war. When it is over, men like Virtue and their sense of true meaning, will be needed.I only hope that ... this is right. Only time will tell.I put pen to parchment. I am ... I have. I am unused to choosing myself over others. I am unused to fighting for that which I wish. I ... was ... ill treated during my time within those cities. I am rather used to having to subsume myself for the better of God, Guild and Family.I want more for myself. I WANT family. Within the Champions, I have found more true friends than I have had before. I do not wish turmoil within the Champions. Had Tunaria spoken that she loved all three, instead of liking all three as friends, I would not have ... I would have let things continue as they were, being more unhappy in Virtue's presence as I could not do more than travel with him.I did liken it to a forge, for what I feel for him is. Tis hot and deep. With work an time, we should forge a love to rival time. With work. I wish to do this work. Tis well worth it. I can only hope that, I have not put my heart in danger again. Yet, if one does not risk, how can one win?So, I put my heart at risk yet again.I spent so much time around the younger, shorter lived races that, I forget how long I shall live.Life has a way of ... being.

Virtue's Order is threatening him with a Vow of Chastity. I should have held my words. I should have held my feelings within me. I should have accepted that, I shall be alone, that I shall pass the years with my cats as boon companions. I know naught what Virtue will do. The missive I sent him ... releases him from any responsibility or guilt should he wishes it.I would have him whole and unconflicted. I shall honour his wishes, whatever they might be. I have offered to leave the Halls, whilst I do not wish this, tis mine own fault that this has happened. One day, I shalt learn that. My words have proved to me that there is still taint from those Cities within me, that I was not wholly cleansed. I ... know naught what I shall do. The fires still rage within me, growing stronger still. My love for Neho twas naught this strong. How long this love lasts, I know naught. I know ... little. An, I hurt now.

We believe that the He she speaks of is the Virtue she has been writing of lately.I have not wished to put pen to parchment. There is not much I can say except, he went to Freeport for a time, saying naught to me, save a small quickly written note!He did not even write me said note that he had returned!An, somehow, we keep missing each other.Why am I afeared that my heart has led me once again into that which will leave it bruised and battered? Must I truly love wrongly? Or is the Gods testing my heart to see if it is worthy of love at all?I must ... meditate and pray. With luck, Tunare mayhaps will honour me with an answer. Twould be presumptuous of me to hope that Marr Himself would answer on behalf of His Paladin!

He did return from Freeport mostly whole.For that I am very grateful to the Gods.Yet, I am still wroth with him! Though, I do understand his own reasonings. Had I felt I needed to return to that foul city, I would have done so on my own. Yet, I have a child there that would be willing to aid me in small ways.I miss Chai greatly.She doth send regular updates on how my dark one does. She .. thankfully ... does not update me on how Neho fares. I hope that he is happy in life. I have grown to where I no longer hurt at his name. An, in truth, our whole time was not bad. We did have our good times...an if truth be told..he was always kind ... in his own way.Howsomever, I am ... happy at home. I am sure in the knowledge of Virtue's love and look forward to the coming years. Though, in truth, I know not how .. why I am blessed

Being at his side was invigorating. we compliment each other so well. Though, he is of a habit of soothing even a minor injury I did not notice I had incurred. I have never had someone care so much for me before. He is ... mine. Aye, his Order doth keep him from my side, but ... tis naught as it was with Neho. Neho was happy with his choices. Virtue ... would rather be able to spend time with me, whether travelling within the frigid lands of his mothers people, or in my home sitting next to each other and speaking of our travels.Though, tis odd knowing that he can speak Thexian. Poor Cinej feels far more comfortable with that language being spoken whilst we speak. She is an interesting youngling. I have not asked, yet I believe twas her mother that was human. I suspicion her father was a Teir'Dal. Poor girl fights a horrid anger within her. The youngling seems to have adopted me. Well, she is most welcome in my home.I have found myself ... unwilling to travel of late. I was so used to travelling on my own, now? I miss him at my side, his shield intercepting a blow meant for me. Travelling with Nescia is fun, the few times I have. He is so much more practiced in his skills than I. He is a most boon companion and am glad of his friendship. Which, tis a most odd thing to say as he is Teir'Dal. Ah well, my loom calls to me. There is aught that needs to be finished and other started, thus I shall put my pen down and scatter drying sands upon this ink.

I believe Tunaria finally understands that, my heart belongs to Virtue an Virtue has entrusted me with the safe-keeping of his. To this, I am heartily relieved! I am upset that she has been ... inconvenienced. Yet, I do love this man with my whole being. Aught which I thought I would go the rest of time without. He makes me think of things that I have never dared think of afore now. An, I feel totally and utterly safe with him. He wilt never raise his hand or voice to me. Oh, he will shout at me, but not in a way to denigrate me, only because I did worry him for one thing or the other.I do dread his words when he finds of my journey to Kunark and realms I should not travel alone within. Yet, how can I risk him as well as myself in those lands? I do not wish to purchase at exorbitant rates the resources I need for my crafting. Yet, I MUST attain Mastery of my skill. I have always wished this with my very being. To do so means, I risk death. Thus, I shalt have had stern words thrown at me, eyes of blue clouded with concern. He does not yet understand that ... sometimes being a seamstress is a dangerous job.I shall write more.

((*chuckles* The joy of this story is ... it's actual RP between humans..and as such, subject to human vagaries....))I did avoid traveling to Kunark for a time. I did venture within the Sky an did work on lesser orders best left to those not as trained, yet ... I felt that I could not venture into those deadly lands without first speaking with my Heart of this. Thus, I did stay close within the walls of Qeynos whence our Guild did finish many tasks the Queen set forth for us to do.Twas a pleasure fighting with Sir Raeyjez and Lord Azol. They take great care with how we work as a combat unit, combining the strengths with the weaknesses. Our new Templar is an Ogress by the name of Peeu. She is a rather ... intelligent specimen of that race. An though she doth rather ... hmm ... nauseate me a bit, I believe that ... her heart truly is good? I do not understand the why's or wherefores of this, yet it is.Though, when I did inform Sir Raeyzej that I have slowed my training so as to not totally outstrip my Heart, I was mildly chastised. Aye, tis his right as our training officer within our Guild. Yet, I am mostly content with challenging my skills as a Seamstress an Tailor. Why? Simple, I am Seamstress first and foremost an a Wizard second. Of the two, my Wizardly arts have always taken a secondary place in my life. I enjoy this that we do as a Guild, an would like to do more..yet I am happiest at my loom ... or at Virtue's side.I have given over too many times for what was best needed for others. Tis time I am selfish an do what is best for me! An, the time I spend with Virtue is what is best. I look forward to our time together. He shall be at the Lady Summerwind's party. He tells me he has a surprise an wilt naught tell me! Ah well, I twill get to meet a new friend of Ajleya's. A Feir'Dal as she is. She plans on having him at the party. I did find a dress that looks most becoming on her. Though, the Illusionist Senanu an I did convince her to be auctioned off. I did promise the aid of me an Virtue should she need it. I do not think thus, yet she seemed to be reassured. She doth remind me quite a bit of myself at a very young age.The whole of the world a large place an her eyes so innocent. She is a very good friend and am thrilled to have made her aquaintence early on.She an Haleth an Nescia are second only to Virtue in my heart.I shall be rather busy as there are several who wish new gowns, Haleth being one. Ah, I shall enjoy the challenge of it! I believe I know the gown for her, though somehow, I believe her fiance twill have issue with it as it is a rather strong colour. Yet, she has a way of soothing Lord Ambrose.Twas my pleasure to finally learn the patterns in the Patterns of Fashion volume 71. I owe a great debt an am thrilled to pay it, happily so. That book was being quite puzzling till one did explain to me what an where I was wrong with. Though, I am currently out of anything resembling fibers that I can craft with! Ah well, an the conundrum remains...to harvest in the Sky or venture to Kunark without my beloved Virtue? For now, the Sky it shall have to be.I tire, thus I shall sleep for a time after scattering drying sand upon this ink.

I am stricken, heartbroken, hurt gravely.[Removed for Content] me an my good ideas!And damned that blasted Froglok Illusionist Senanu!! I find her, I will fry her in her tracks! She helped someone take from the Champions Ajleya! Worse, this crime is so .. heinous as to not be believed!An [Removed for Content] me for not .. for convincing her to be auctioned. An [Removed for Content] me for not trusting my own instincts! I find this Ephoak, his life is forfiet. I care about Ajleya deeply as I do Haleth an Nescia...three truer friends none can have..an they are my friends! Somehow, he managed to infiltrate the City, seemingly a templar...but nay...he is naught! An I did ... welcome him at first.I'd seen his eyes before yet ... on Teir'Dal NAUGHT on Feir'Dal! Blacker than black, no white to them at all. I thought..hoped in truth , it was the shadow he was skulking in. Virtue was by my side, thus my world was safe an right how could I see right? An..the..feeling in the house only grew...Hate...as felt within Freeport..that fear that...you are being searched out for ... unspeakable things. My body still shows the scars of some. The Arcane Scientists are not ... merciful in their dealings, nor is the Militia. Oh, aye, I became the good little lap dog, doing as I needed to survive there. An aye...I felt Hate, welcomed it after a time. Yet, to be by Virtue an feel that again? I should have recognized it [Removed for Content] me! So now..now I shall owe Chai a great deal for she searches now for Ajleya...proof that she still lives. For Ephoak IS a foul Lucanite sworn to Innorruk an [Removed for Content] me for being a fool!Virtue doth not deserve such a fool for a Lady.I wilt go there which I swore to never go ... Freeport. I would risk all to get my friend back, even my own life. Tis naught else I could do. I swore to her she was safe an my wrath on him that hurt her...how has he hurt her? I shall wring from his scrawny neck when I find him! An [Removed for Content] me for not being there to protect her!

We know that several weeks have passed for the Lady between the two journal entries.Ah my daughter, I love her dearly. Her words to me on parchment did chill me to the core...though twere late. Ajleya is home, injured, yet home. I know little yet save that she is safe an mostly hale. I WILL be cornering that blasted Illusionist for one simple reason, Sir Raeyzej wishes to know the why's an wherefors. I have little in the way of answers, she doth. She claims to have read Ephoak's mind. In truth, I feel she might have been in collusion with him. For what reason, I do not know, nor understand.She is home now, tis all I care about for the nonce.My Heart did make me swear that I would not put myself into harms way to repay my debt to Chai. I wilt hold to that. He doth fill me senses with longing that I have never felt before. My time with Neho was insipid compared to the time I spend with Virtue. As for ... that creature ... my time with Virtue is far greater than it ever was. He was a devil that Teir'Dal, though tis time to come to grips with all that he did to me. An to finally ... put to name ... nay, I can not do this yet. He still feels me with dread, an ... trained excitement.I am happier than I ever have been. The Champions flourish an grow an the Lord Aros encourages us with a gentle hand, a smile and that flirtatious wink of his, though flirtatious only. His heart truly lies with the Lady Summerwind. Tis good to see in truth. His face shows tis easy to smile for him. The Lady is a fine woman as well, kind and giving. Twas her that made the decision to try my mettle an my Word. An thus far, I have kept it an intent on continuing to keep it.I believe I have ... annoyed ... Sir Raeyzej with the fact I keep in touch with Chai. She it my child, yet no longer the sweet girl I once raised. I am rather glad I have never felt it necessary to impart more than aught which happens to me an Nedefidia. Nedefidia, looking so much like me, yet I can see her father in her. It doth hurt a bit still, an always will I believe. More a memory of pain than true pain. Though, what will always hurt twill be the missing of her childhood. The little firsts every child doth go through. Did she jump from things? Somehow, I doubt that. My daughter is very self-possessed. She doth remind me greatly of Lord Ambrose.This is far from a bad thing! I am rather glad of it, though she oft spends days an weeks at a time within the Spirit Realm seeking out Sir Verdic.An, I miss my friend Cursedy. She hath been gone so long, I fear she ... will never return.I fear I grow melancholy as the press of years finds me. So many gone or missing, those who have touched my life. Though, with amusement, Paikis did inform Chai to inform me that ... he will rip out my kidneys next he sees me. That Feir'Dal, tis sad to see him fighting for Freeport. Though, he was one I could speak with freely within that foul city, his time there did change him. Chai also spoke of others. One, I truly must face sometime. Tis a thing of honour, though I doubt my Heart and my Lord twill understand. For, I have no chance of besting one who feels I betrayed Guild and Friendship.In truth, had I still been a member of Bloodshed, I do not believe I would have had the ... wherewithal to leave Freeport. I hold my vows dear. Nyarlath is in the right though, I DID turn my back upon those who counted me as friend. If my spilt blood shall help ease his turmoil, I would give him that much ease..yet, my poor friend is decidely ... insane. As much or more than poor Chai. My Lord will disagree with me in this, yet, I DO owe my friend a single fight upon the field of Honour, though I already know the outcome. I am far less in skill than Nyarlath is though I WILL fight my best.Ah well, time and age. I am what I am, an only growing more so. An what I grow, is tired, thus, I shall sand this entry an sleep for a time.

I see Ajleya happy home. An more so. It doth seem Chai was correct, that Ephoak twas lovesick. It seems, or so my daughter informed me, that he hath left Freeport to journey to Qeynos. I will ... reserve my judgement till I can see for myself if the taint of Innorruk is still there or no. Though, she doth speak of some sort of surprise. I have had little time with Virtue, an do miss him. He makes me smile, my Heart. I hear his footstep ring in the Hall, and have to hide my smile in my embroideries. I know I fool none, yet, tis still hard to show ... deep affection without the fear of it being used against me. An that man ... I swear he revels in my blushing at times!It is ... odd ... knowing of his love for me, an his respect. Twas naught I have had before now. Respect. An he values me. Many in the guild also value me an my time.I am not ... taken for granted by any save myself.My recent time within the Sky has been difficult. I do not understand why Sheny thinks I will stay an die to her, I truly do not. I wilt not stay to be killed by someone I have no chance in even defending myself against. As it is, I still frequently am defeated by those that live there or groups of Lucanites. An, Alexonder is still an arrogant [Removed for Content].I ... look forward to showing my Heart the Sky. There is much there that is beautiful. Deadly, yet still nonetheless lovely. I enjoy my time there, even when I must fight because I have ventured too close to the territory of one or other that lives there. Tis naught fault of theirs. Truly, I am in the wrong in this. Yet, I MUST harvest! I can not afford the cost that others charge for the roots an pelts!I did try my chances with the Kylong plains. I .. I do not think I shall be back there for a time. It is ... Tunare's influence is not strong there, for all it's growth.Erollisi day is upon us. I have one to share it with, an he follows Her Brother, how fitting? I am happy to have even a little of his time. Neria is plotting aught, I know not what. She is ... a troublesome child. For all that she is adult, she is ... insecure in herself. She feels that she must make others uncomfortable speaking on her conquests an the like. She also wishes to try to sway others from their chosen loved ones, feeling that a single mate is wrong in some way. She tries to mislead others of their loved one with veiled innuendo. What she doth see nothing of is, I Trust Virtue with my heart an my soul. I know that he wilt never betray said trust. He mayhaps has had madness in him once, now, I only see a man who loves me. So, for all her veiled innuendo and chasing ways, she doth not know that ... she can not shake my faith in him.My training as a tailor goes apace, as I have the resources to do so. I recently put to memory of mind an fingers the patterns from the Patterns of Fashion volumes 72, both the basic an the advanced.The Exchange continues to keep me busy with unending Rush orders it seems. They trust my work in this an I have yet to have disappointed them. I find it soothing, to work at my loom whilst my Love is busy with his Order. It doth help pass the time for me.I look for no custom at this time, happy with the coin the Exchange doth pay me. I believe that, I would work for free for them at this point. Sir Raeyzej hath spoken to me of continuing my studies as a Wizard yet, my first love was the fabric. Tis hard to naysay this. To choose betixt the two, I would choose to lay down my Wizard's robe afore I give up the loom! He even tries to tempt me with clothing that is fabled for it's power. An, tempting though it is, I would have my Champion next to me as my equal in skill. I refuse to outstrip him. An Sir Raeyzej can not comprehend this. I understand the why's and wherefores, yet it doth not make it easier upon me to fight my case.It seems that Tunaria an Sir Noskire as becoming quite close. I am happy that she is seemingly happy with him. Sir Noskire is truly a fine man. He seems very happy with her as well. Mayhaps tis the season yet, I am glad to see that there is still Love in our war torn world.Chai sent me word of the oldest of my twins. She seems to be doing well, though, she has been troubled of late. I look forward to seeing what she tells me next of my dark child. Though, she did say something of enrolling within the ranks of Shadow Guard. It is my hopes that ... High Priestess Aeviel can possibly bring sanity back to my girl. Even though she is of Innorruk, the High Priestess was never truly condescending to me whilst there. An most of Shadow Guard did treat me with some dignity. Even now, when defeated, they do thus. Most I should say.Ah well, my loom doth call to me, so I shall lay down my pen for now.

Oh, boy. A duel? That doesn't sound good. Not at all. Hopefully our heroine will get out of this duel in one piece and without too many wounds.But it seems things didn't go so bad with her as I thought. Everything seems to still go well with Virtue and her skill as a tailor is growing. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Erollisi Marr, Godess of Love, sister to my beloved's Mithanial Marr. We celebrate Her touch on our lives. The last time, Nehotep filled my home with roses. He did so to woo me not for myself, not because he loved me.Virtue ... Virtue gave me a stuffed bear ... a handsome white thing that looks like the bears of Everfrost. He sits now on the pillow I bought myself. He hid it on his bed, behind him. It touched me deeply, this wonderful gift of his. Simplicity yet, oh so wonderful in the thought.Though, he asked for me to change into ... that ... dress. For him, I will wear it. Then we left his room to go to mine to put the bear into his place of honour. I would have gone through the gates to South Qeynos, yet he did stop me an asked if we were not going through the Docks. I ... to my shame ... still feel that itch between my shoulderblades when I am within the Harbor, even though I KNOW none can slip a blade twixt my shoulder here. Especially with my Beloved Virtue standing at my side. Thus, into Qeynos Harbor I went ... for him my Love.Once there, he did shout to all of the harbour of his love for me. His words were "Lords and Ladies all, make way for my Love and my Lady, Dejenchri Seamstress. On this Erollissi Day, I doth proclaim my Love for her, Proud and True!"I have never ... had someone ... love me that much. I felt my heart explode within my chest. I would have this man for all times before then. Now, if the Gods themselves lift him from me, they shalt find a fight on Their hands an I WILL prevail!He then did the same thing within South Qeynos, though his words were different, they meant the same thing. He wanted the whole of Norrath to know of his love for me.I would ... I would that I had then, the strength of Marr to proclaim my Love for him. For I could not possibly love him more than I do now. Twas all I could do to walk, an I mean walk, through the Harbor with him on my arm ... showing so much skin for him.When he slept, twas on the cushions of my bed, with me in his arms. I will return there shortly, yet I had to write of my day. I can not begin to express in words the love I feel for this man. My wish to be with him for all time is great. An, even afore this day, I knew his feelings for me were true. I am ... happier than I have ever been. I return now to his arms to rest myself an let his heartbeat lull me to slumber.

I value greatly what time his Order gives me. I truly wish he could be with us ... me ... longer, yet I cherish each moment I do get with him. I am ... content ... mostly. Content is such an ... insipid word for what I feel when I am with him. To liken it to being within the Forge of Ro tis far more accurate. Like others of my kind, tis ... difficult to have ... to feel such overwhelming emotions. We are so long lived that it seems ... it takes decades upon which to feel greatly towards someone.Lord Myrddin left our guild, seeking what, in truth, I know not the whys. I still call him friend though, an have informed him that if he needs aught to only ask it of me. I have been ... very happy ... within the ranks of the Champions. I have found those I call friend an who call me friend in return. Lord Azol also just recently presented me with the badge of Champion of Vie. A badge I wear with honour an pride. Twas most ... unexpected!My training as a tailor goes apace. Tis difficult to obtain the very things I need to craft with. I try to harvest in the Sky as much as I can, yet ... the Lucanite infestation is frequently greater than I can cleanse, thus me having to leave with scarely few roots an pelts to work with. So, tis oft that I flee the lands of the Sky. An when I check the broker listings for roots an pelts, they wish exorbitant prices! Imagine! A full gold coin per root or pelt! Tis ... robbery in truth! Yet, none see that save the making of coin. Some days I truly wonder if I returned to Qeynos in truth an fact, many there seem to belong more to that foul city than Fair Qeynos!Poor Jenic. I have finally come to realize where I had seen her illness before. Tis one of necromancy, yet, I am loathe to return to Freeport an accost the Concordium for a cure. My time with Neho, how can I not have learned about his dark art? Even only a little? I was there when he learned new arts, new ways of doing things as his power increased. I only hope that she can be aided, I know naught how I might aid.Tis time to rest for a bit, to dream of future times with Virtue, to let my mind wander the halls of my memory.

Twas a great joy to travel with my Guildmates! For a reason unknown, Sir Raeyzej was absent from our work for the Queen, thus twas my beloved who took the ire of that which we hunted! I find it a joy to watch him work, an twas a pleasure to be with him an our Guildmates!Though, one of the beasts, a great monster called from the sea, did charm both he an I. It was ... horrible. I helped to defeat those I call friend! Aye, I was coerced an had no control over myself. It is still ... I ... have no words for this. My Love says twas naught my fault. Tis true this. The hurt still remains, yet to join the others that I work towards forgiving myself for.Ajleya worked well with my Heart. Though, he doth flirt greatly. I know tis aught but flirting. Yet at times, it doth strike me deeply an I should never let it.Jenic has been sneaking potions. I ... I give up with that one. She is a sweet girl, yet she refuses to help herself. I know where the books are that would tell me if this were in truth necromantic arts at work. Yet, I am loathe to return to Freeport for one who ... is unwilling to take the orders of those far greater in knowledge than I. An then lie. Tis my most abiding dislike, lying. Jenic has condemned herself to that of being a thrall an I am ... saddened by it. Yet, if she will help herself naught, then nor wilt I.My journey to the Sky proved a tad more fruitful than usual. Thus, instead of sleep, I shall go fill orders for the Exchange, an hope that my Love returns from his Order.

The land of the Sky was most inhospitable today. Thus, I crafted with what I did have. Not enough it was! Little travel did I do. For some reason, I am feeling under the weather. I know naught why. I will not even venture a guess at this time. I did enter the Arena howsomever. Twas a bout with Joet. He is an accomplished ranger, yet no match for my skills as a Wizard. I fear that I did fall into teaching mode though. I only hope that I did not offer offense, twas naught what I intended. I truly wished for him to learn to defeat me, an others like me. If he can do thus in the Arena, he can on the battlefield.Ah well. To retire for now. Mayhaps I shall see my Heart on the morrow. Only the Gods an his Order know

Well, the prices for lichenclover root were quite reasonable, thus I did spend a large amount of coin. It did pay off, even though my fingers are quite sore. I learned the patterns from two books! Thus, I am working my way through Patterns of Fashion volume 75!This after spending time with Virtue in Everfrost. I am rather glad that I have the Fire of Ro within me, tis COLD there! An he did request of me to wear ... that ... outfit. I can not truly call it a dress, for it truly isn't! A robe that fastens at the breats an a collar with it? Then a loincloth girded as a belt and leglets of silver. How can one call that a dress? In truth, I would naught have worn it save ... to please Virtue. He did bade me buy it one afternoon, after hearing others speak of it.I did have discourse with Jemoode. He was seeking Jenic again. An in truth, I have seen naught of her. Though, Jemoode tried telling me that he were the youngling Cinej's younger twin brother, yet the man speaks not a word of Teir'Dal, yet she is as fluent in it as I. An tis a language she speaks almost as she does Antonican! If he is her brother, I am an Iksar!It has been good to see my Kinsman Ambrose within the Hall. Tis a great thing, having others of my own Race about me, Lanari, Ambrose an Brenavin. I have lived amongst non-Koada'Dal for far too long. An in truth I love one who is not Koada'Dal as well, though I am quite happy. Virtue ... I can not describe him well enough here. He is kind, loving, opinionated an very noble. Ah well, time to rest my fingers from even writing.

I have learned many books worth of patterns well an am currently leading to learning the last book, allowing me to become a Mistress of the Loom. I look forward to this so much. It has always been my goal to be thus. An I shall soon! I have so many people to thank for this journey, listing them all would be most impossible. Firiona Vie's Champions have helped me greatly with this last set of books. Some with resources, mostly with the encouragement to work my craft.I miss Virtue greatly, yet understand his dilemma. I only hope that one day, he shall be free to travel when an where he wishes. Till that day, I will cherish ever moment I have with him. Granted, I would do the same after. My poor daughter did meet my friend Nescia the other day. Poor child. I should one day sit down with her and speak to her of her father an of the other race within her. Luckily, it doth take much to offended Nescia, else Nede would have done thus.Chai travels apace, though from the way her writing has devolved, I would say she has turned to drink as well. Her time in Rivervale sits poorly upon her. My poor deluded oldest child, where did I go wrong with her? She was a sweet infant, prone to being colicky, yet what infant isn't? She seems to be happy, I know not if she truly is. I wilt write to her no more of returning home. I have long given that up. I need to rest my fingers, as they are rather sore. I have sewn, spun and woven a great many articles of clothing of late. Mayhaps Virtue will be freed for a time, though I come to doubt it.

We are unsure of how much time has passed between the prior entries and this one. It seems to be a great deal of time. The state of the Lady seems to be one of melancholy and depression, found in many of great age or those who have seen much. We believe both statements to be true as the writer is Koada'Dal and quite long lived.Much hath passed these last few days. My fingers have been too sore to write with as I have been plying my needles over-zealously. Yet, for all this, I have finished learning all the patterns created an have attained the pinnacle of my career. I shall seek out now the title of Master Tailor from the Ironforge Exchange.I have had the pleasure to be with Virtue again these past days. Tis good to see his face, to hear his voice. Though, his propensity for pinches is ... well, flattering tell the truth. Annoying at times, yet ... he doth my heart good. We have a few new people recently come to the Guild. They seem good at heart. Time shall tell, though, I am rather fond of Thramir's sense of humour. He takes a stoic view of the world, yet he seems to find something truly amusing in any situations.Nedefidia hath found Sir Verdic. It seems he wanders another realm for a time. What he seeks, she would not speak of. Poor child. She still fights within herself her fathers heritage. Mayhaps one day, she will reconcile to it an allow herself to love. I would that all my daughters could feel what is within my heart for Virtue.Chai seems to be faring well within the ranks of the Shadow Guard. She seems to be ... happy of a sort. I still do not know why she became as she did. Aris, thee were't correct my friend. Thy daughter has lead me many places. I hope that thee an thy Jumjumberry are happy whever thee art. I have spoken little to the trio since my return. Of Buffye, I can find no trace. Fluffye seems to have closeted herself within her room an Muffye seems to be ... sickened. This leads me to believe that Buffye has perished, leaving her sisters damaged. She truly was that which kept the two from tearing each other limb from limb. I fear one day the darkness within Muffye shall twist her enough to send her from Qeynos.Of my dark one, Chai has sent me a painting of her. Such a beautiful young woman she is. I would one day see my twins reunited, yet within Qeynos as sisters once more. I will one day forgive myself for staying within Freeport as opposed to taking my daughters an fleeing for home.Memories weigh heavily on me as of late. Too many years, too many lost friends, this war an the Shattering hath taken it's toll upon me. Even now, I feel Felwithe call to me yet know that I can not return to the home I knew as a small girl. For aye, I have memories, bits and pieces her an there of it. Sounds an smells mostly. Mother doth speak of my almost dying whence we fled Faydwer upon the Shattering.I believe I shall rest a time. Mayhaps my dreams shall shed some light as to why this melancholy has come upon me.

There has been little that hath occurred that is much of note. My Love hath attained his fifty seventh rank amongst his Order. He hath accomplished much, though his mind has been ... otherwise troubled. I wish there were aught I could aid him with, yet, I canst not. It pains me to see him troubled thusly for he becomes distant.I now have a dog that ... I know not what to do with. I canst not with a clear conscience return it to the store whence I purchased it. I had intended it as a gift for my Heart, yet, Tunaria did buy him one an gift it to him. Now, it would seem that ... I were ... competing with her, an I do not wish even the hint of it!My Chai did aid one leaving Freeport, though this Teir'Dal, Isis by name, claims that I spoke to Chai of her. I know naught how this could have happened. Ah well, youth. Though, it seems I owe my daughter yet another favor. We shall see.I still wonder of my Dark One, how she fares? Chai is witholding information on her. Most likely until I "cough up" a favor. Though, in truth, I do not misdoubt I shalt ever do thusly. As much as I wish to know more of my Dark Child, I wilt owe my oldest no favors anymore.I have heard tales of a cloak that is for Tailors only an thus, I seek it out. We shalt see how this progresses, though I fear it doth bode for ill.My old, dear friend Llyra hath been allowed to return to walk Norrath, though she hath been gone many years. She holds a new form, as doth the one she called mate then. She an he seems to be happy to be in a corporeal shell once again an I am heartily glad to see the pair! Though, tis odd to see her mate in the shell of a male, so used I was to seeing her as female. Yet, again, they seem to be happy, thusly, I am happy for them.I truly have felt, uninspired as of late, thus the research I do. I fear I have allowed myself to sink into a morass of sentimentality as of late. I truly have lived a great many years, an seen a great many things. Some good, some ill, yet ... I have lived.For now, I believe I shalt rest a time

.I have been busy of late with new duties with the Three Towers. Thus, I have been unavailable for much travel. Though, I did venture out with Lord Nescia for a time within the lands of Kunark. I have been given a young sokokar. It is rather amusing. It also flies, amazingly so. Twas good to be out harvesting again. Even if I had the aid of Lord Nescia. I am rather surprised at my acceptance of him, considering my distaste for male Teir'Dal. Yet, he doth aid me. He listens patiently whence I ... complain. Rant an rave is more precise. My Love, Sir Virtue still claims that I am free of the Taint of Freeport, yet I still feel within me the Taint of Hate. I can keep it hidden most of the time, yet ... it is there, waiting to explode. I knew only kindness an love whilst I lived within my home of Qeynos. I was introduced to Hate when I went to Freeport. I still feel that within me. I still ... am angry. Mostly with me at this point in time. I allowed Nehotep to take from me my children. I allowed Neho to convince me to kill kith an kin. I still hurt from all that I did, the slaying that I participated in.Lord Nescia helps me deal with these feelings, as he IS a child of Innorruk. He understands his Hate an helps me understand mine. He hath lived with it from the time he was born.Now, if only Nede wilt allow him to teach her of that side of her. Or any other Teir'Dal for that matter. Thus, mayhaps she can gain some perspective into why she feels as she doth.I hope to see my Heart soon. I miss travelling with him greatly. The vagaries of Human love seem to be ... taxing upon me. I wish that he would understand in his heart that, I wilt never leave him unless he pushes me away. For all time. Those words bind me to him. Words I have never spoken afore. I would have him at my side for all time. For all time.The only thing left would be to have a Cleric of my kind bind our souls.Mayhaps one day, he wilt understand the depth of the commitment I have to him. I enjoy being with him, speaking with him, discussing the world an the rights an wrongs of it with him. I find his warmth refreshing. Mayhaps I shall speak with my Kinsman Ambrose an see if he hath any insights as his Lady is a Human as well.Well, back to my duties for now.

To be Teir'Dal is to be one who shuns love as a weak emotion. To be Teir'Dal is to be one who shuns frivolity an things that are not necessity. Innorruk is a harsh task-master, demanding hard things of His children. To carry the torch of Hate is the first and foremost of their duties to Him. It is part and parcel of who they are.Thus, to watch Nescia do a street magic trick for Tummelisa was ... amusing. I know that he would not have appreciated my mirth, so I did try to hide it though I believe he knew of my mirth.Poor Tummelisa was concerned when Nescia did make the comment about children. He truly does not understand Qeynosian ways of ... small talk. Tis naught a thing practiced amongst the Teir'Dal. Forthright words are used. Valour an Courtesy are different amongst that race. My poor Heart was subjected to this. It doth seem that Virtue tried to engage Nescia in small talk. I love him dearly, this only makes me love him the more.Though, he did return to his Order afore I could attain my sixtieth rank. I had wished to share that with him. Ah well. There are a great many things that we shalt share as the years pass.Though, I was most amused that ... Lord Nescia had spent little time within the Lesser Faydark. Thus, he mentored me for a time whilst attending to tasks for the Fae Court he had not known about. It was my honour to aid him in this.It is good to see Sir Verdic about again. I miss Cursedy still, yet doubt I shalt see her again. Though, I worry somewhat of my youngest child. She seems to be ... at odds with herself.As for my Dark Child. I spoke with my Heart for I truly was brusque with him the other day. It was ... painful ... to hear of her being bested out in the Woods. She had been raised to be within the Clergy an safe within Neriak. Nay. It seems she doth have a bit of my stubbornness within her. What was commented upon mostly was ... her eyes. Not only my stubbornness, yet she also hath my eyes.I would have thought they would have changed as she grew older. Twas the only thing of me that I could see in my Dark Twin. I was never again allowed close enough to see her eyes. Mayhaps one day, we two shalt meet. If so, I hope it wilt not be on the field in battle. Niyati doth not know of my existence, let alone that I am her true mother. I would not wish to have to ... defeat my own child. Yet, I wilt not allow myself to be defeated either.Ah well, the Three Towers is starting to give me more work as my abilities increase, thus I have yet new duties to attend to. Willingly so, howesomever, my pen must be laid to the side for now an I must return to my research.

My Heart was kept busy by his Order. I did miss his presence greatly. Though, I did spend much time with Lord Aros, Jimble, Nescia an a friend of Jimbles named Suave. Twas a great deal of challenge, yet we prevailed. I did enjoy my time with these gentlemen greatly. I have increased in rank with the Three Towers an now find myself in need of spells for my sixty-first rank. I wished my Heart could have been there with me. I miss him by my side.I am aiding Nescia in learning to ... deal with ... the difference in cultures betwixt his an Qeynosian. The Teir'Dal are raised from infancy to formality an the lack of frivolity. Teir'Dal children are not encouraged to play. They are however, encouraged to study their pre-determined path. Nescia looks to change this, now that he doth no longer reside amonst his own kind. I ... know how he must feel. I too had lived apart from my own kind, even hunted them at the will of others. With luck, he shalt overcome his upbringing enough to ... enjoy some frivolity.Ah well. I am most weary an have a great many duties to perform tomorrow. I have been awarded a title as Lady of the Court an have increased responsibility. Streeter did speak that it was overdue. He hath always called me Lady, even afore now.

My Heart is a kind man with a caring heart an I did injure him this day. Unknowingly an unthinkingly. I never wish to do this again. An then to make matters worse, I did take the injury upon myself whence it did not belong.I would rather tear my own heart from my breast an feed it to one of the vile dogs of Neriak before I hurt him again. He hath been ill used an is wary of women, for good reason. An here I am, unknowingly adding to that ill use. I know not how I shalt redeem myself in his eyes. For I would be with him for all time, if the Gods an his Order let us. I hope he finds it within himself to ... forgive me.

I truly do not understand. It hath been said that Lady Halisstra did brutally massacre 3 people an injure 3 others. I did not believe that she were capable of such an act. Teir'Dal notwithstanding, I just ... she had to be under the influence of aught else. As for Neria, I was ... she acts as if the Lady is her sister. My Heart is ... distant. Whilst in the Hall, I did try to comfort him yet he all but ignored me. Repeatedly. An yet, when Neria acted as if she were injured or ill, he was by her side, solicitous and full of caring. This is ... not the first time he hath shown ... extraordinary care for her. Though, he laughed it off as wishing Neria's bid to start off decently. I ... believe I may have put my heart in jeopardy, yet again. First Nehotep an now ... Virtue? Only time wilt tell of this, though I fear for the worse. That I wilt see my Heart grow more an more distant from me, an eventually leave me. [Removed for Content] my fallible heart. If that should happen, I know naught what I shalt do, for I did swear to him For All Time. Was I foolish in believing the pretty words of a Paladin? Wilt he ... doth he ... still love me? Or ... were they just pretty words? An where wilt this leave me when he finds another? He is free, yet I am not. If so, at least this time there are no children. I wilt not conceive again if I can help it, even if it means taking those vile potions.I spent some time in the Loping Plains as well as the Lesser Faydark. Twas good to get to know the Lady Monk some. She is ... an honourable person. Though, twas also with Nescia. I wish my Heart would realize that ... I am incapable of ever feeling more than friendship for one of his kind? An that, only barely. The abuse at the hands of that blasted Shadow Knight hath left me ... tainted in such a way that ... I could never ... be with ... a Teir'Dal. After all I have been through, there is no way that Nescia could ever be more than a friend. An, he feels the same way. I suspect a thing, yet am unsure of asking him it. I believe that Nescia is incapable of caring for a woman.Amouscek also did something very selfish, she suicided. I know naught else than that. Well, that she'd been found in the Greater Faydark an Kelethin by a newcomer to the guild. One Ahaphi I believe his name to be. My Heart wilt be ... touched by this. For she once saved my Heart's life...from the same thing.I must think for a time. I only hope that, I wilt be able to speak with my Heart for a time upon the morn.

I am patient an can wait for him to be freed of the constraints of his Order.I ... did an unthinkable thing. I did speak in front of the Magistrate. I ... my time there has served to give me ... insights I had not realized would ... could be needed here. Thus I did speak for the Lady, though I know her naught. An then, I did spend time with some small work with Ajleya in her cell. Though I were stifled by an Illusionist an could not feel Ro's touch upon me. A thing I do never remember feeling.Our guild ... hurts for her absence. We are strained an taxed. She is a most integral part of our family.I did spend some time within the Loping Plains.

I did spend many days with the Three Towers, in their service. I am finding myself turning more an more to my Arcane studies now that I have achieved the pinnacle of my sewing. I did have time to spend with my Heart in the foul city of the once God King. Tis an interesting place, though filled with snakes. I can not abide snakes. Iksar are almost as bad. I truly believe their Maker had no imagination and brought them forth from snakes.Well then. We did find some of what we needed. I am always glad to help my Heart an my Champion. I learn far quicker than he doth, yet tis only because of the time his Order takes from him. He told me that he could not see me in the pants I wear. I find them rather comfortable these pants, though I am still happiest in dresses. I knew truly what he wished, thus wore the dress for him. I am always uncomfortable in it. It shows ... so much of me. To include some of the scarring across my back. I refuse to not wear my cloak when I wear that dress.He did caress them at one time, an tell me that they are his as I am. I love that man so much. They are deep those scars, both in mind and body. That Teir'Dal was never ... gentle with me, unless something very painful was about to happen. And Nehotep was unable to do anything to aid me. It was ... hard enough to conceal much from Nehotep. Yet, if Nehotep had tried, that one would have ... killed Neho. I loved him an did not wish to see that happen. An after my babes were born, he had even more to hold over me against Nehotep.The only thing I have ever been worried over is ... tis Neho their father? Jar That one took me at about the same time as I concieved. I hope that he is not, though twould make sense as to why Niyati fought her path an became a Knight herself.I truly need to seek out Nede and speak with her. Mother states that she had as a child, conversations with our ancestors. I would see if the spirits that speak with her are ones whom I should know as Nehoteps ancestors. I know I need to speak with Virtue of this, yet it is hard, especially with his caring love. Knowing him, he would storm Freeport an Neriak to find that one.I think one day, I shall seek out Niyati an see how she ... progresses.Nedefidia seems happier now. I believe Sir Verdic hath a great influence on how she feels. I am happy for her. Mayhaps she wilt help heal Sir Verdic's wounds that Cursedy left him when she betrayed Qeynos.Even her companion seems different. I truly expect sometime soon he shalt ask her to be his wife. Knowing my daughter for these short years, I believe she wilt say aye. Mayhaps I shalt be a grandmother afore Virtue's Order allows us to wed. Ah well.Firiona Vie's Champions are in slight disarray with Lady Halisstra's hearing. I shalt go visit her again soon.My time is at an end, I must return to my works.
