Added Sun Mar 17 15:32:20 2019 at level 31:

Of all the moves one can learn with the sword, there is one known
as the Sheathing of the Sword. Very few bother to learn it, because
while it sounds simple enough, the true detail of it is using ones
body as the sheath.

...

Alrion drops to one knee in the Hall of Light, and drops his head
mumbling the words "Bloody Tribunals". For him he has known now for
a long time that the Tribunals would eventually be a problem, those
amongst its ranks who claim they are of the Light. Yet defend those
who hold the souls of their kind in weapon, and dig up graves of the
fallen for their own amusement. There beliefs twisted over time by
the evil that has been allowed to hold leadership and command over
the various cities.

He knows there is still good in some of these people, and he knows
despite best effort that it will only be a matter of time before he
finds blood on his hands.

The Ancient Knight of the Fortress observing his actions raises a
hand placing it on Alrions shoulder, with a firm grip he simply nods
as Alrion is filled with a sense of reassurance. Alrion ushes himself
to his feet and slowly begins to remove and fold his clothing until
he is left standing in only a loincloth. Grabbing a salt encrusted
canteen from his chest, he pours the water over his head.

"By the oceans reborn!'

Reverses the grip on his sword and plunges it through his heart.
