As a character, Nathaniel has kept a journal since he was 11 years old. As a player, I've kept that journal, on and off, for 10 years, documenting his various adventures, as a blog. I continue to do so, but rather than repeat myself, I will link to it from here, with maybe an extract of the full text...
A Man of Leisure - in which Nathaniel decides to see where his belover Gwyneth has gotten to, and visit this mysterious island of Callisto...

Perhaps then, it is time to take my leisure for once. And take my leisure as consort to the Queen. My beloved wife and my queen is taking a break from her pursuit of the latest in fashions and the documentation thereof to take a holiday in a strange land called Callisto. Not the moon of Jupiter, named for the unfortunate nymph of the Greek Myths, but an island far across the world. Well, a world, at least. It has been a while since we have had opportunity to spend quality time together, and now I am at liberty to respond to the subtle hints and join her. And so, I shall. At least, thanks to that rogue, Alec, it need not be an arduous journey. It has been a while since I exercised my ability to walk between the realms, but I am sure I have not forgotten, and navigation should be no problem, for there is none closer to me than my beloved Gwyn. I wonder what adventures await when I get there.

When I was younger, shortly before my life was changed so dramatically by Katarina, I went with my parents, and my brother, Gilbert, into London. There was an exhibition in Knightsbridge, where they had created a representation of a Japanese village. We found it utterly delightful and fascinating, though how authentic it was I cannot say, having never visited Japan itself. We came away with many souvenirs – silks, paper, lanterns and such like, which my mother much treasured and kept in her library. I, myself, was fascinated by the architecture, exotic looking dwellings and shops, seemingly constructed of wood and paper, two of my favourite materials. Father was much impressed too, though, as he said at the time, it was not something suited to the methods of construction that he was used to.
