Chapter 2

The journey begins

Greandin sought far to the east to find the shrine of the Lady Baerinika the
goddess of courage, combat, purity, and dedication. After a number of
harrowing attempts, he was able to kneel at her feet. In his life, Greandin
had kept an absolute focus on dedication. Dedication to whatever task was at
hand with no wavering. It felt to "dedicate" oneself was the absolute key to
all. From his early days in the military it was drilled into him to obey, to
follow orders, and be dedicated to the defense of Galadon.

As he stood in review of his goddess, she approved of him, for now...but
tasked him with considering the value of courage, combat, and purity...not
just a sole focus on being dedicated. Greandin accepted his guidance with
stoic appreciation, and left her shrine blessed and approved.

In the time since, Greandin has advanced much in his guild through taking on
difficult journies with friends, allies, and at times alone against the dark.
has fallen in combat to berserked and wild orcs, but never lost his
faith. He has found new found courage in feeling the presense of his lady
with him as he sommons her powers.

His dedication became whole, complete, and unrelenting during a battle with a
terrible sea creature. His fellows had fled, and he was left, lost, and
alone. The beast bore down on him, but through the sanctuary of his Lady,
her healing, and her wrath, he came through triumphant.He was bloodied,
beaten, but he stood.

Now Greandin sets his sights on completing the task set before him, to study
the other tennants of his Ladys governance. He has heard of a fortress in
the lands, who's squires and scribes stand firm against the darkness that
engulfs the land. The work is plentiful, the harvest is ripe, and thus
Greandin continues his journey.
