Chapter 4

2nd of the Month of the Sun - 79
---------------------------------

I've decided to begin penning memoires of sorts for future use. I've recently
spoken with Lady Daphedee and speaking to her of the past has inspired me to
keep track of my own.

My talk to the lady involved a great many things, but the one overarching
theme involved the failures that lead us to greatness. The stumbles, the
different paths to it.

We spoke at some length of other great imperials of the past, Sindrir and
Gaspare. Both of whom endured great tribulation in their own lives to reach
the pinnacle of the summit.

My own past has had trials of its own, though up until now I've looked upon
this failures with great disdain. I now belive i understand that which Lady
Daphedee teaches, these things are what shape our greatness.

I've begun researching some history and will begin scribing for the imperial
library soon. Perhaps through understanding the suffering and shortcomings of
our past great leaders the lesser herd can understand what is required for
greatness themselves.
