Relationship Note on Fairen
Because I'm not someone who's dedicated their entire life or even 1/30 of it to studying gods and spirits nor can I fathom the long-term for any of this. And I definitely ain't someone who's got the patience or the brainpower to do debates or whatever the fuck else involving word-games.
If there's gonna be a war over it though, call me. That I know how to do.

An important distinction to be made here I think is that the Faith also didn't tell you to stop worshiping spirits and old gods, nor have they tried to proclaim that either of those don't exist or aren't worth believing in.
What has been said definitively is that no people who believe in anything beyond the Pantheon may work within the Church itself. What distinction you can draw from that objectively, no idea. Not really my fight either.

Hm.
It's hard to make a concise thought on what's transpired today, given that I have a lot of thoughts and yet no decent way to articulate many of them.
I guess I'd just thought for a long time that welcoming those of dissenting opinion to share it in your places was a good way to learn from each other. Find your compromises and grow stronger as a people. It seems like there's a wedge now, where ideas aren't going to be heard.
Overall it doesn't really do anything to me though, so I cast my thoughts out like a 'lil pebble into the ocean anyhow. I'm probably wrong, but my gut just can't shake this disappointing feeling yet.

Okay, trying to wrap my head around the most recent influx of anger.
Somebody picked their champion, but it wasn't from the champion's guild? I dunno, didn't seem like the duel was being fought over that serious of a matter, and it's not like anyone is representing themselves for a serious duel in the first place.
Eh, what do I know. I'm too sober right now to make intelligent comment.

Axes or swords?
Personally I like the axe much better. Can kill with it then bring it home and chop some firewood too. Don't scratch easy, don't break easy. I might be liken to change my mind should someone show me a sword that can carve logs without losing it's edge.
'Till then though, my mind is set.

I see not a lot of you are a fan of the winter as I am. That's fine.
But if any of you see me trudging ass naked through the shore at moonlight, don't be blaming anybody but your fucking selves. You made me prove this point.

Some people don't like winter. I say some people are fucking loonies. Ain't hardly much better weather to be experiencing than a kind of cold chill. Just makes everything slow itself down, gives you time to enjoy the world as it takes in a deep breath. Snow is fun too. Fun to make into weapons and fun to bury fuckers in.
Ever just stood on the deck of a ship while a bone-chilling wind rolled over you? Ain't a feeling like it in the world. It's almost magical how nice it can be. And the winter rain, like a nice cold shower to wash away all the grime. Like becoming someone new.
Love it. Love the snow. Love the ice. Love the cold.

I don't often enjoy the reflection on my youth. But if reflection were an easy thing, so many wouldn't seek refuge in the teachings of the Thirteenth. I've come to realize over the course of my life that mistakes are the hardest and most effective way to learn the wisdom needed to prosper. One's past is filled with them and I ain't no different.
There were a time when I considered Donrai like my own father. Strange thing that, considering one of my earliest memories of the man was him grabbing me by the scruff of my neck and dragging me out of my mother's arms. He took me back to the Isles where I learned quickly that any measure of softness was stamped out. Those who fought that would be floating belly-up with a gallon of saltwater in their lungs. My family there wasn't cruel per-say, but they weren't folks cut from the kindest tree neither.
I was a bastard. An outsider. The one who looked after me was the most feared man in all of the cold seas that surrounded us, and his heart was blacker than even some of the most accomplished Thraxians. I had to cling to something, someone to survive. The one who I did gave me food, drink, shelter. All I had to do to repay what I was given was to fight. It turned out I was pretty fucking good at fighting.
When I tried to show a shred of my own self as a person that went beyond what Donrai taught was 'necessary', to go beyond that cruelty for something better, I'd soon find myself face-down in the dirt. I remember a particular time, when I was walking through the streets of the Maelstrom. There was a young woman, sat beside her babe. They were in chains. Thralls. I'd been given my ration of the day and in my 'misguided youth', I chose to share it with them. I'll never forget the words Donrai spoke to me when he witnessed what I'd done, when he saw a blossom of something 'gentle' underneath.
"You will be the weapon of Thrax. Because of my son watching over Dagon and Donella, they will have the whispers of weakness placed in their mind, but I will tolerate no such with you, Victus Baseborn. The bastard of Maelstrom, the son of Argus, will be a weapon soaked in the gore of our enemies. Never show weakness before me again, or I will see you cast into the sea."
When I think of the day I went over the walls of Tyde, I think about that cold stare of his. The mask looking back at me. I don't endeavor to use any excuse to explain myself, the facts are all there. I was a soldier, 16 years old, knowing that if I failed it'd be my head to come next. War was all I knew back then. War was survival and survival meant everything. I was ignorant. I regret my ignorance.
Now there is a time to look back on the past. Use the lessons taught for the present, so we might build the future. The better future that the people of Thrax deserve.
Donrai was a wretched tyrant. But he should never be forgotten, nor a single detail of what he did scrubbed from history. For his is a learning experience, a tale of what happens when power goes too far. A path to stay untraveled.
