Best Served Cold
Extremes do not further our existence. The glacier, though cold, moves forward. Perhaps un noticed to the naked eye, but yet it moves. Like it, we too must move. Slowly and un percepted by the casual onlooker. But like the glacier, we move toward a goal. Perhaps that goal, in its end, will cause an avalanche? Or the iceberg, deceptive above, will cause the sinking of the greatest ship ever constructed? Sorrow is a by product of our existence, for we yearn for what was lost..no..taken.. from us. It will never be ours as it had been intended to be. And for this, there is grief. But we must not be consumed by it. For this too is an extreme. And if one obsesses over this, one will lose focus on the goal.
And what is our goal?

Often speculated that she is holding on to some former memory of days long past, Morgana's eccentricity is commented on privately, but accepted publically as simply a quirk of the artisan.

Regarding the Duchy of the Icebound
Morgana is a curiosity to many of the Duchy. She refuses to take a lover, and refuses to sing songs of love, specializing instead in Torch Songs. Many believe that she would be an ideal candidate for the Duchy, but she refuses them, each-one-and-all.
There is a friendly rivalry between Morgana and Belladonna. The latter constantly trying to win the Bishop over to the Icebound Duchy.
Extended Family
Alex Summers there is little I would not do for him...if he ever asked
People I can count on to do me a favour
Jimmy Quick flea ridden whoreson of a jackal. But a damned good horn player that has my back in a fight.
Speedy G
Belladonna like the name she has chosen: how sweet, beautiful and deadly is she. She keeps trying to convince me that my heart is already Icebound and I should join the Duchy. Maybe some day I will
Amber Clinton aka Dj Miragel a partner in crime…. So to speak. My contact at Radio Free Fae, she helps me “spread the word”
Trystan Hunter
Minister Kruhy he can eat crackers in my bed any time
Horace "Race" Ardent I know why his eyes are sad but his heart is strong. I will always be there for him
It's difficult to explain
Duke Pyotr Koud Hart – it’s complicated. Leave it at that, ok?
Christian The Duke of Hounds – a razor wit and a beautiful dancer, I’m still quite fond of him. He made the mistake of betting he could win something that was not his. The more fool he.
Clockwork - Clockwork financed my first performance... I know his tactics and I've always been a little worried about what he's going to ask for in return."
People I wouldn't pee on if they were on fire
