He picked up the quill, a new one with runes to keep it in ink without it running constantly. "I suppose I have been remiss with the events of late in preparing a report for the King on the barony and other projects he has granted me in good faith. Given the very personal nature of these events, my daughter's attack and subsequent long recovery, I have no doubt he is willing to be ...

In his other hand, he held a small red ribbon with some stray strands of black hair wrapped within. He ran his thumb over them, and smiled before taking up his pen to write. "As I write, I am only a little bit over a week away from marrying Duchess Meren Anwa, Grand Surgeon of the Healers of Solurius. I admit, I have not yet known her a single year.. close, about 9 months mayhap, but not quite.. and yet I could never deny that she has completely ...

He smiled softly, looking over a bundle of reports, nodding with approval. He opened his journal, and began to pen. "Well, finally things are looking up in a major way. The wicked and lasting claws of winter are loosening their grip on the land, and many projects can begin underway... most of them will proceed throughout the summer I do not doubt. Firstly, large shipbuilding docks are being constructed among ...

The accursed snow seems to mock me... and I feel almost like a hibernating creature, or a waiting flower... so much is coming, so much waiting, so much dependant on spring. The Marble for the banks has arrived... Davien was glad to deliver it, though there was a ship lost between Italy and here. We both felt for the lives lost, the whole crew.. but I know Davien will see to it that every single family is supported. Still.. it's in warehouses Meren owns ...

Michael looked it over, and then just sat back, writing in his journal. "Well. I did NOT see that coming. To say that getting the bank endorsed by the King was successful is a major understatement. Now I have to figure out were to build banks in every Barony... and have been elevated to Count... ...

His short term plans were in place. He needed to make sure his long term plans were sound ... his reasons valid. He wrote, the fire crackling behind him. 'Why am I doing this? Why am I set upon this course? Because I love Solurius. I love it's people.. it's ideas. The land itself isn't bad either really, thought the snow is troublesome. I love it's King and Queen dearly. They are people of respect and worthy of the same, who know how to be ...

The last few months had truly been a whirlwind of change even for him. Indeed, ever since he had come to Solurius change had happened with amazing speed and he was not sorry for it. Still, if you want to make the most of the opportunity such rapid change can present, you have to keep a still mind. Michael looked at the journal and started noting under various headings. "Irons in the Fire" 'First off, I need to square away the starting ...
