Compendium il' Arcanum 09

Ugh what a groggy morning, the night's rest was good and Mrs. Treasuremane was nothing short of a noble hostess, but after the tower, I am exhausted. Now for this test of Heraldry, a Bronze, Silver, and Gold Chest are about in order, to start the Silver I must see how this test plays out. "Know what is in the soup!" This cornucopia can only be House Bordain, truly one of the best human clans. The next table set is a whistle of gold colored wood, these used to be carried by the Legendary Ranger Sygral, known as The Bloody Claws and the Dragon Hunter. The last, a table of Legends, of course some poem, a beautiful art.. for elves. Unfortunately not my best day, it is a shame, I would have helped Sioban get audience with Lady Aegis, as she seems to have been stalled by a clerk. I hope Hale and Haya are well on their way in the tournament.
 
Finally a test of the Arcane, my studies locked in with the tomes and grimoires can finally shine. Local, World, and Ancient History and Obscure Magic. Local, I find a clear liquid that builds a torrent when shaken, the river Laquidis, from its mouth my compatriots have captured this most pure water. With the world their are ghostly apparitions which infuse this piece of obsidian, it is perfect in its creation, not mined and infused. It is filled with the souls of Dragons, how could anyone have been powerful to accomplish this. A conical horn of silver, 3 inches on a necklace, made to look like a unicorn horn, it has such a vastness to it, truly this sharp point, it could be used possible to puncture the fabric of time itself, or weave it like a needle.
 
Lastly Hale and I join the negotiation challenge, arbitration between two individuals is the challenge. This event is sponsored by House Nassin, but oversaw by the Paladins, a judgmental type if there ever was one. Honestly this will likely be trivial but their resources would be most valuable. Hale, settles a dispute between two banner houses of Liam, seems they were worries about guard shifts, really now. I am set to task on settling a dispute between a Step-Mother and her Step-Daughter over the rents of their late Lord. After examining the documents I fear the Lady is only in it for the money, and may have been implicated in the death of the Lord. I request dispatch of the King's Eye with some loaded effects.
 
Now down to business, Goldbeard's Cosmology, this is completely fascinating, honestly taking into account for the movement of the celestial bodies down to the origin of life, time, and all existence. This is a most wondrous attempt to pull them together, even the Adversary into the same stream of energy, the arcane dipping and folding from one form to another in order to create. Ah but I must focus, the Stoneheart ritual binds the soul of a Dwarf to the body of Mongras Tor turning the user to Lichdom in allegiance to him. Though you lose your creativity, being able to refine only within the bounds of the current discovery. This definitely posses an issue, as destroying him would be the end of us all. This ritual is most challenging you must dig so deep the elemental plane of earth can be touched.
 
I visit Walden as I am in need of a mount if we are to ride, but I am not so certain of horses, instead I see if he can provide an automaton, with a controllers amulet.
