A Celebration of the Light: March 2013

it is reassuring to know that the paladins are handling this greater focus so that we plebs can focus on lesser pursuits. surely we wouldnt understand, anyway. we are made safe and enlightened by your order. may i offer you a drink as well, or is your thirst too important and sophisticated to focus on a single beer or wine?

Though our ideas differ greatly on people and greatness of their pursuits. I will gladly accept your offer of a drink. I shall see you at the bar.

Orias,

You demand personal thanks for protecting the town in one parchment and then slander the Gods in another. You embarrass yourself. For a man still listed on the Execution and Obliteration order as an Anti-paladin (albeit crossed out) and one who so proudly speaks of his murders and atrocities, you deserve no thanks. What is owed to you is nothing. What you owe the Kingdom of Kormyre is everything. The fact that you are allowed to live, and not only live but have a full and free life within the realm of King Aleric is a testament to the graciousness of our King and to the Gods.

Only when you have begged forgiveness from every man, woman, and child within the Kingdom of Kormyre from the lowliest beggar to the King himself and been granted that forgiveness for your vile ways do you have right to ask for thanks for anything you have done.

You take this second life granted to you by our King and the Gods and choose to spread venom and cause dissent among the good people of Kormyre at every turn. You leave notes in what is meant to be a celebration of the Gods that besmirch not just the clergy but the Gods themselves. I know not if you still lead the life of an Anti-paladin, but you act it.

Stand before the Lord Valos and ask his forgiveness to start, if you are true then it may be granted.

I will pray to Valos that you find some forgiveness in this world. I know that a man that has walked your path will find nothing but suffering and pain in the next life, for all eternity.

To the good citizens of Travance, Mass will indeed happen at seven bells on the evening, or just after Feast, whichever is latter. I would ask now that all be respectful of our celebrations, and those with an interest in the light and love of the Gods would partake. This love is not a thing to be hoarded, as the gods love one and all. This love is unconditional, even to those who perpetrate darkness, for without their love, there can be no hope of redemption. We as always face dark times, and we face them together.

the thanks, the handholding, the prayers... they're all jokes. i asked for thanks to see if the people who curse my name in private will sing my praises to my face. a game. whether they were given or not, my actions would not change. the gods are no different. heaven will do as it pleases regardless of if we ants call up to them. faith, pride, shame, honor.... all illusions. if they help you feel better about putting men in the ground then by all means cling to them, but dont be surprised if i laugh about it along the way. i have known the destiny of my soul for many years. i dont need faith to tell me that. im not your enemy, mighty hurgar. im a travancian in truest form. join us in a toast. to the king.
