You're where the Wild Things are...

An in-character blog set in the universe of EVE Online. These are the private diary entries of Lady Ekaterina Mariya deSilvestris, a minor Amarrian Noble and Capsuleer. Other existing characters within EVE will be referred to throughout, though any opinions and views expressed are those of this character. These entries may touch on or directly address mature themes such as violence, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and mental health. As noted, any views are those of the character.

Before we begin, I feel it important to say a few words on the subject of mental health. Ekaterina, or Ekat as many call her, is something of a troubled soul. This aspect of her character is a personal choice I have made, for very personal reasons. Although EVE is a game in which the players can immerse themselves to a greater or lesser degree as they wish, mental health is a very real issue for many people. Those two simple words cover a myriad different issues and concerns that affect people directly or indirectly every day all, over the world.

If you find yourself affected by any issues touched upon in these posts, or if you face your own troubles, please know that there are people out there you can turn to; doctors, friends, family - there is ALWAYS someone. If you are an EVE player, then Broadcast 4 Reps chat is available, staffed by wonderfully kind and good-hearted volunteers. If you know of someone who has mental health issues, then please just let them know you are there. It doesn't have to be anything big, just a smile, a cup of tea, a quick phone call about last night's game - just a little thing to show they aren't forgotten.

You Never Fly Alone.

I should have surmised that Ishta would have found some way to twist our family's news to even further advantage.   Her idea is a surprise, though shows her deep understanding of our family.  I have to quite agree that whilst Lord Sarum's grant of additional facilities and resource rights is a boon of great significant, especially as it aids us against the Kovals, our family are not miners or industrialists, and apart from Felix, I doubt any of us really know quite what we should be doing with these new assets.  Ishta's idea is, if nothing else, something of a return to our ancient roots.

Holders are forever engaged in rivalries and ways to secure advantages over their political enemies.  Indeed, sometimes even their friends!  It is not uncommon for these rivalries to erupt into localised conflicts.  I dislike Ishta's brutally mercenary outlook on the matter, but she is quite right.  Many of these Holders would pay handsomely for the skills and talents of this family.  That coin could bring us even greater advantage.  One day, perhaps soon from all that Papa has being suggesting, I shall head this family, and it is my intention for it to become the dominant Noble family in Nakri, through any means necessary.  Ishta is also quite correct when she says that even Lord Sarum, from time to time, may very well have need of our abilities.

Of course, Ishta would not be Ishta if she did not have ulterior motives, though they are, one must say, selfless, perhaps even inspiring.  With the ISK brought in from both our assets and other commercial enterprises, we would be able to aid those less fortunate than Ishta, those subject to the brutalities and depredations of unworthy Masters.  It is not God's Way to harm those whom we Hold, yet many do.  I suppose now that we must, after so long, accept our Obligations, we should do so in way intend, and do the work of God and The Eternal Empress.



The Tribals appear to be massing to attempt to retake Floseswin back.  Aldrith was likely most astute when he said that we would not hold it for long.  I think our efforts there will soon be drawing to a close.
