No sheets were stolen, by the way, but I'll send you a present as a 'thank you' very, very soon.

My mother had a different saying, 'All the doors are locked if you don't try them.' Between the trying and the knowledge, I hope to open more doors.

I know -that-. It should have been obvious, and quit adding notes to this! Write your own whites, man.
Seriously -- welcome to Arx.

Well I did encourage you to get creative and you have not disappointed me in the least!
You will obviously make a wonderful Minister of Coin. Sometimes skulls need to be crushed.
I am really not surprised you are Asger's cousin now.

I have added Marquessa Malespero's suggestion to my third draft, however.

Interested parties should instead submit their overtures, inquiries, and written proposals to Lord Deito Igniseri for review and later consideration.

Though some spirits cast a reflection, none seem to understand the concept of mirrors and reflections as we do, unable to answer when asked if they have mirrored counterparts of their own.

I have a treatise on Economics to read through that's dense enough to crush a man's skull, so I'll be quite busy with that. Many thanks to the wonderful Duchess Ann Crovane for the ample study material and instruction.

Second Draft
There are many paths of shamanism, though some commonalities exist in the observance of special days, such as astrological events and natural occurrences such as conjunctions, eclipses, solstices, and equinoxes.
How spirits came to be is unknown, though there is a theory they are the children of the old ones, or that they are called the First Children because they are the oldest beings in the world and came before all else.
Spirits are mostly related to the elements and nature. Spirits are particular, fickle, their will entirely foreign to us. They can communicate if they choose to; some send visions, while others are casually chatty. They communicate with those in search of wisdom, boons, blessings, or abilities. In such cases, a sacrifice is made in exchange. However, spirits abhor blood sacrifice and find it highly offensive. While the majority of people who hear from spirits are shaman, there are some who are not, and some who are Spirit Touched.
Spirits can be contacted through meditation, which can be a matter of hours or as long as a week, as well as via rituals involving runes, old sites of worship, or other means to prepare body and mind. Spirits do not seem to be limited by language, and can speak in languages unknown to the shaman with the shaman still somehow understanding them. They can also seem to be speaking 'into' the shaman, or use flashes of still events. Spirits occasionally give warnings, which are never to be ignored, but their communication can be difficult to understand.
Spirits are capable of change and forming affectionate bonds. They can feel pain, heartache, fear, and anger. They are capable of mourning. While it is difficult for us to comprehend what motivates them, they seem to want to see us thrive.
While separate from spirits, ghosts can also be communicated with. Souls can be searched in the Shining Lands.
Many thanks to Lady Khanne Halfshav, Lady Signe Nightgold, and Duke Asgar Crovane.

But then we talked and he told me how proud of me he was. That I didn't need to follow in anyone's footsteps but my own. It made me feel....happy. But to have been on the field with him would have be great...though when I did tell him I was in Setarco too that's when the over protectiveness came out. Wait until he hears where I've been...it might cause him to fall over.

He sounds decidedly Northern. And like Asger. Are we ~they? related?
