Sophia Dyden's Journal

21 Eluviesta:
It is done. The nobles have thrown their lot in with Arland--Arland the snot-nosed man-child, Arland who did not walk till he was in his fifth year, Arland who had to be pried off his nursemaid's breast not two years ago. Or so it is whispered. The teyrns and the arls believe him to be a simpleton, and easily led, but I have seen something in the boy's eye, and it terrifies me.
10 Molirois:
I watched the Summerday processions from a room high in Fort Drakon. The regent has me for treason, when my onyl guilt is of being true ot my country and my heart. My guard's tongue was easily loosened with a gift of a ruby ring, and i am told that the banns are fighting against my sentence. I shall pray, but not hope that it will be anything but the gallows for me.
2 Ferventis:
The draught was liek bitter fire, but I survived. Weep for me, for I survived. Would that they had made a clean end for me. I should have died a lady, the greatest Drydens, not lived to become this nothing--this monstrous nothing!
19 Matrinalis:
Enough. I shall waste no more time with wretched, womanish lamentation. Death would have been easy, but fate saw fit to spare me and I will seize upon this chance. The Grey Wardens are an army, and the old commander is weak--a wisp of a man. I will inspire the Wardens, and Arland will rue the day he spared my life.
