currently in his main holding of Ygriss

Introduction forthcoming

Subject: Re: Drysllthen Valenti Sun Aug 02, 2009 12:22 am

Drysllthen was called to the dungeon to address the unexpected arrival and subsequent confinement of Sorynn, King Reagnold's daughter. Tyltin was also called to this, both Valenti men finally meeting face to face. (rumoured)
Drysllthen met privately with Tyltin early in the morning before courtiers were about. A tentative agreement was reached placing Drysllthen on the throne, but it could still be changed. How to use Sorynn was also addressed. (Meeting rumoured, contents unknown)
Unsettled by the conversation, Drysllthen left the estate to visit his camp and went beyond it where Caoilfhionn found him shortly after she arrived. (Scene still in progress...Caoilfhionn's arrival is known)

Subject: Re: Drysllthen Valenti Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:31 am

He was present for the dreaded soup incident, and tended to Maeryn afterward, observed her unexpected conversation with Tyltin. (Known, conversation rumoured)
Boozing and schmoozing with Tyltin's people, Drysllthen has met Lords Kerrich and Juntric as well as the healer, Lady Aerinne. (known)
Drysllthen happened on the scene after Merripen had punched Christiana and was furious. He instructed William to handle it and took Christiana to the sickroom. (known)
He's been encouraging Christiana and Deorwulf to plan a social evening, likely with dancing and stories (and of course drinking).
Due to several observations of Tyltin and Maeryn, he is concerned about a growing attachment there. (likely rumoured, but he's only spoken to Caoilfhionn about it.)

Subject: Re: Drysllthen Valenti Sun Aug 09, 2009 10:11 am

He met with Tyltin at Tyltin's request along with General Alexston regarding their plans for the attack on Valys, which ended in the decision of a two-pronged attack..Tyltin leading one on the town proper and Drysllthen leading the one on the castle and Old Town, a significance neither missed. As it was Tyltin that suggested Drysllthen take the castle, Drysllthen was suspicious. Not knowing what Tyltin plans to do or the feeling that he was missing something put Drysllthen in a foul temper. [Meeting known, conversation rumoured, mood rumoured]
Drysllthen rode out to his camp after the meeting and vented his mood on Caoilfhionn who was waiting in his tent. He stayed the night in the camp. [Known in the camp, rumoured in the estate]

Came across Tyltin and Maeryn in the library, and despite (or perhaps because) he was intruding on a private moment, stayed. With Maeryn present, Tyltin gave his other terms for the agreement which would net Drysllthen the throne. Drysllthen agreed to the marriage between Maeryn and Tyltin, but is still considering the rest. [Conversation contents unknown]

Subject: Re: Drysllthen Valenti Mon Aug 17, 2009 1:10 pm

He took a brief break from duties to spoil Roselyn who, much to his surprise, was worrying over him and the battle.
He quite literaly ran into Aerinne fleeing from Tyltin, Maeryn, and Garnett who were in the infirmary. He comforted the distraught girl and took her to a small office to compose herself. Comforting turned to affection which Drysllthen did not press too far, and Aerinne left before things became too intense. [Collision and departure known, 'conversation' unknown]
He gave Sorynn over to General Rohngyl's care for the march to Valys. [known, or will be soon]
Roselyn woke him by screaming his name during a dream, and he comforted her, discovering that she had dreamed that he was late returning from Valys and that trees had captured him. He put it off to nerves regarding the battle. [unknown]
In a joint meeting with his men and Tyltin's, he declared that he would take the castle and laid out the agreements he and Tyltin had reached. There was some minor grumbling, but no more than was expected. The meeting ended with Tyltin making an oath to Drysllthen. [known]
He participated in a rather drunken revelry after said announcement, eventually slipping away with Caoilfhionn who he told about Roselyn's dream and..ahem. [All known save for conversation content with Caoilfhionn]

Had dinner with Lord Somneri and Lady Wintermore who he met for the first time. Brief, discussed wedding arrangements. [known]
Morgance ran into him before he departed the dining room. Alcohol consumption and mocking made for a merry time with quite a number of insults flying the King's way.

Once Morgance left, he took Quess aside and made his displeasure known. [rumoured?]
Caoilfhionn wrote him to inform him she was leaving along with warnings about the forest spirts. [unknown]
Took to the roof to consider Caoilfhionn's letter where Roselynne joined him.

[known]

Stumbled upon Quess in the library who was upset about receiving the letter from Maeryn inviting her to visit once they'd taken the port in Karmenys. Spent time explaining that she may or may not need to go depending on whether or not Tyltin and Maeryn return for a time. Informed her that it would be a few months at most. Spent the rest of the evening in his study with her. [Unknown, Drysllthen had cleared the library for his own research, still in progress.]

Summoned Mari to the tower to discuss concerns about Lady Beorhtsgott. He's now assigned Mari to find out what she is up to. [Unknown]

They also spoke of ghosts and additional warnings as well as decided against the name of Uhtred for the babe. Emergency plans to get the children out of the castle should more danger rise also were set out, both intending for Garnett to take them to Leugeilean if threats grew too great. [Unknown]

Subject: Re: Drysllthen Valenti Sat Dec 26, 2009 4:34 pm

Ran into Carrigan in the parlour. She informed him of Sieghardt's presence in Valys and search for William, and he assured her that he would look into it. [Encounter known, conversation not]
Invited Sieghardt to the castle. [likely known]
Ordered Tyltin and William to return from Karmenys once Grenleach was secured. [known]
While returning to the castle from inspecting outlying areas, the King and his party ran across an old crazed woman that though Drysllthen was her son. Although the woman's rantings were easily dismissed as insanity, the King got the name of her and the boy with her and has left orders to keep a watch for her, concern brought about by her unsteady reaction to his family name. [known]
Attended the feast to welcome back some of the men from Karmenys, though Tyltin and Maeryn managed not to attend. When Maeryn snuck by, he slipped out to go speak with her in the tower. Their conversation wandered over her experiences in Karmenys and some of the happenings in the castle while she was away, including Drysllthen's concerns about Roselynne and Quess. Maeryn told him of her desire for an official place with the army, but he has yet to give her an answer. Quess joined them later to warm greetings, and the girls mentioned an adventure that had Drysllthen curious as well as discussed the Feast of Ghosts. [Departures to the tower likely known, content not]
Met with Sieghardt after Roselynne had welcomed him. Although the King noted a white lie, the conversation went smoothly and they were joined for a time by Morgance. In the end, Drysllthen asked Sieghardt to take a position in his employ and is currently having him train the garrison in dealing with unnatural threats. [known]
Organized the rescue of the girls from the undead. [you all know the story..not typing it again]
He was joined by Roselynne in the bath and discovered that she had not been told anything about what was happening. Her insistance in talking about it irritated him, as did her want to visit Naiia in the middle of the night when he was stressed over the events of the day and worried about her safety. Though tense, they managed to avoid an argument. [unknown]
Visited Maeryn in her quarters. She woke finally while he was there and spoke of meeting the ghost of Wyldrigrenkledrysllthen. According to the ghost, only those touched by the magician went to where he was thus warning Drysllthen regarding who was behind the attack. Maeryn realized that the younger Uhtred was not with Wyld and was convinced he did not die on the night in question despite Drysllthen's explanations. Once more, she requested her own contingent when they return to battle, but Drysllthen said he would not decide right now and that she had to show him she could handle responsibility as he was disappointed in her handling of the cave. He also informed her that Garnett would be returning soon.[Waking known, the rest not]
Unable to sleep, he visited Quess in the room Aethelwyn had arranged for her. They spoke briefly of the attack, but he told her he did not wish to speak of it. Both conversation and affection relaxed him a great deal, the King eventually joking with her while they cuddled in her bed. While things did grow more heated, injuries prevented much from happening. [unknown]
Spoke briefly with Maeryn to try to draw her out of a deep depression that had settled on her in her bedrest. He was interrupted before he could talk much about what was contained in the box she'd found in the cave. [unknown]
Supported Roselynne through the birth of their child for which he was present. [known]
Spent the evening with Roselynne and their new babe whom they eventually decided to name Alesandra Garnett Valenti. The realization that they are truly a family now sunk in, and the next morning he brought Saeryll to meet her new sister and breakfast with them. Saeryll was initially very jealous of and threatened by the new baby, saying that Papa would have no need for her. Such fears were quickly quenched, Drysllthen making certain Saeryll knew he still needed and loved her. [Generalities known, conversation not]
Generally has been showing off Alesandra to anyone he can find. [known]
Specifically, he showed her to Aksel, who cooed appropriately over her before they continued in a discussion of trade and policy. [known]

Subject: Re: Drysllthen Valenti Tue Jan 12, 2010 2:32 am

Met with Fairholm to discuss several concerns including the threat of the undead and the strange woman he met on the road. [meeting known, contents not]
Roselynne joined him for his nightly story to Saeryll where he told her a tale of where snow came from. He was pleased to see Roselynne taking more interest in Saeryll and at her realization that she was her child too despite having a different mother. In the end, discussion after Saeryll had fallen asleep led to them deciding to ask if Saeryll simply wanted to call her Mama rather than Mama Roselynne the next day. [not generally known, but likely the change in address would be noticed]
Joined Roselynne and Saeryll outside following the usual meetings to see the snow castle they'd built. Even once Roselynne left, he stayed outside to play with Saeryll for a bit where they were joined by Quess. Saeryll showed off her snow castle, but eventually grew tired and they moved inside where Saeryll fell asleep on Drysllthen. Once he'd sent Saeryll with Greer, he scolded Quess for her part in the undead attack and confirmed her realization that she'd never share in having a family with him the way Roselynne does. Once his irritation had been spent, a touch of flirting ensued in the form of discussion about her room. [Likely known that she joined them in the yard, conversation contents once they moved inside are not]
Went to check on a very drunk William out in the yard where Drysllthen assured him that he was not worse than Mereavus. William also told him about the conversation that transpired between him and Sieg, about his indiscretion with Julian and how the discussion had gone from bad to worse when Sieg didn't let him leave. Drysllthen asserted that he couldn't expect Sieg to understand the situation he was in. The conversation changed direction to women with William informing Drysllthen he was getting rid of Merripen and committing more fully to Cordelia. Despite differing view on fidelity, both agreed that seeing wives as part of their family was crucial. Drysllthen spoke about changes between himself and Roselynne since Alesandra's birth and Saeryll changing to call her 'Mama' instead of 'Mama Roselynne'. [Contents unknown]
Had dinner with Derryk where they discussed the state of things in Ygriss and Maeryn although the conversation kept from being too deep. [dinner known, conversation not. Scene incomplete]

Subject: Re: Drysllthen Valenti Mon Jan 25, 2010 1:10 pm

Found Maeryn out in the private garden late in the evening. After joining her silently, he was stunned by her new choker however he refused to tell her why beyond his shock at something expressing her so perfectly. She was not deceived, but she let it go, confiding in Drysllthen her concerns about Tyltin. Quess and Aerinne too came up in conversation, Maeryn concerned about the former's inability to stand up for herself and the latter's likelihood to cross Maeryn herself. After quite a long wandering talk, Drysllthen pelted his sister in the face with a snowball, leading to a great deal of silliness before he finally escorted her inside. [unknown save for their slightly snow-covered return]
Found Nalani in the library and took her to his study to discuss her journey to Hrvesgott. He learned little beyond her great fear of the place and her terrible guilt over the guard in her company that died. [Conversation unknown, retreat to the study possibly rumoured]
Aerinne ran across him in the library where the two discussed her reasons for remaining around despite the tension between herself and Maeryn. Primarily, she is concerned with Naiia's hand which led Drysllthen to offer to speak to the Alexstons about her having a place on their estate rather than the castle. [possibly known/rumoured]
Invited William and Derryk to his study for an evening of ale. In the rather congenial atmosphere, the conversation wandered from family concerns to Derryk's upcoming wedding and, naturally, to women. The men are, apparently, worse gossips than the women in Valwyn. [Conversation utterly unknown]
Discussed the possiblitity of Aerinne being employed at Alexston with Cordelia who agreed to speak with the healer and take it under consideration. [possibly known]
Morgance discovered him in the parlour where he showed her Alesandra. Reluctantly, he allowed her to hold the babe. She presented him with her plan to own lands to supply the castle's needs, and he's agreed as her guardian to sign off on such a purchase with the van Reinhardt monies after a review of the contract. Such supplies will leave more coin available for Morgance to train apprentices. The conversation wandered from there to women who tended to cry on Drysllthen's shoulder, the King expressing some irritation with Nalani. [Some possibly rumoured]
Bade farewell to Roselynne and the girls who went to visit Sarmagh. [known]
Granted an audience with the new jeweller and received his gifts. [known]
Retreated to Quess' room for an evening that began with their usual impropriety only to be stopped with questions from Quess. He was rather displeased at being stopped in such a state, and the conversation grew tense. Eventually, it resolved somewhat, and they slept for a time. Upon waking, it seemed his words had sunk in, and the two shared a rather pleasant time crossing an irrevocable line. Sleep followed soon after, and when they woke, he left to begin his day. [His presence in her room possibly rumoured]
Formally welcomed his cousin, Princess Arela of Leugeilean, to Nharati. [widely known]
After the pomp was over, he introduced her to William then spoke with her more privately in the council room. Despite her torments of him as a child, they got along quite comfortably with mutual mocking leading to a great deal of laughter. [Contents unknown]
Introduced Princess Arela to Lords Ronhghyl and Dulchaointigh in the parlour while he was showing her around the castle. They discussed the possibility of a feast in honour of her. [known]

Received Roselynne and the girls home. [known]
Hosted a private family dinner to introduce Arela to Roselynne and the children. It unfortunately came to an abrupt end when Roselynne had to go tend to Alesandra and Mari arrived in disguise to pass a note to the King. He left Arela with Morgance and Saeryll with his apologies. [known]
Brought Iaon and Mari to his study to report about the old woman that had caused the disturbance at the gate. He was informed who she was and that Garnett had her arrested and confined to the South Tower (In Dulfwyn, outside the castle grounds). [details unknown]
Made a formal announcement of the apprehension of Synaria. [spread widely]
Sent Roselynne a note that he would be gone from the castle for the night on urgent business. [known only to Roselynne]
Left for the South Tower to speak with Synaria. He is presently there. [known]
