While it was fun being at the Thing, it is also good to be home and back to the normal routine. I missed my morning blackwine one my patio. Best way to slowly wake up.
Since 2010, I’ve served as Magistrate, now an Elder Magistrate, staying true to those first teachings of law. I’ve held additional titles, adding teacher in 2015, and spent 10 real-world years studying Gorean Law to record it for those who follow. Born to Ubar Aries and adopted by Ubar Reno, I lost both to the dust of war. Now, as the daughter of Captain WIND of the Silver Blade Mercenaries and 1st Lt. Izzy, I focus on teaching and recording past lessons here. Enjoy exploring this record.

The Final Evening of the Thing
Journal Entry: 2026-06-08 Location: Olni Var Mood/Title: The Final Evening of the Thing
The final evening of "The Thing" has arrived, and it brings with it a sense of closure that I find both welcome and necessary. The festival has been an relentless cycle of activity, and while I have gained much insight from observing the interactions of the various clans and delegations, I am ready to return to the quiet order of my own life. Today was particularly telling—the tensions between the Northern and Southern factions, the shifting loyalties, and the persistent, often chaotic nature of these gatherings have only confirmed my commitment to the stability of my own House and the discipline of my household.
Sheena has integrated into the household more effectively than I initially anticipated, showing a willingness to learn the protocols that I demand. I have enjoyed showing her the city and guiding her through the expectations of her station, though it remains clear that there is still much for her to internalize. My focus on the "Circle" project and the maintenance of my records remains my anchor. In a world where even the most seasoned Jarls can be caught up in the drama of the moment, the Scribe who keeps their head and their records straight is the one who ultimately holds the power. I am looking forward to the quiet return to my daily routines, the steady work of the library, and the continued instruction of those who actually possess the desire to learn. The festival has been a distraction; now, it is time to return to the work that matters.
To Do:
[ ] Finalize the reports from the festival observations. I have gathered enough information to be highly useful for the Magistrate’s upcoming council meetings.
[ ] Continue Sheena's instruction. We will begin more formal training in the coming days; she must understand that being "my girl" means representing my House with perfect discipline.
[ ] Check the office inventory. I want everything in its proper place before the next cycle of classes begins.
[ ] Prioritize my own rest. The exhaustion of these last several days is beginning to show, and a clear mind is non-negotiable for the work ahead.
