Role

Chapter 5

As a follower of the elven maiden Baerinika, Xaevyir values the virtue of
honor highly in his actions and decisions. It may not be the traditional way
priests train as initiates of the Spearmaiden, but in his mind, it is such a
noble virtue that enhances the tenets of the faith to an incredibly high
standard.

The Sphere of Honor is a guiding light that illuminates the path of those who
seek to embody the virtues of courage, combat, purity, and dedication. For
those who follow the path of honor, moral integrity is paramount, and they
hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct in all their pursuits.
By staying true to their principles, they build a reputation of respect,
esteem, and distinction that inspires others to follow in their footsteps.

Through the pursuit of honor, one cultivates the courage to face any
challenge, no matter how daunting. By upholding their beliefs in the face
of adversity, they become beacons of hope for those who look to them for
guidance. This courage is not only physical but also moral, as they refuse to
compromise their values for personal gain.

In the realm of combat, honor means fighting with a sense of fairness and
respect for one's opponent. It means adhering to a code of conduct that
emphasizes the importance of skill, discipline, and restraint. Those who fight
with honor seek to destroy their foes as quickly as possible as to refrain
from cruel, torturous death and instead show swift mercy by incredible skill.

The pursuit of honor also enhances purity of spirit. By staying true to
their principles and striving for moral integrity, those who seek honor
maintain a sense of inner peace and clarity of purpose. They reject the
temptations of greed, envy, and other vices that would lead them astray from
their chosen path.

Finally, the pursuit of honor requires dedication to a cause greater than
oneself. It means committing oneself to a higher purpose and working
tirelessly to achieve it. Those who seek honor are not content with mere
mediocrity but instead strive for excellence in all they do. Through their
dedication, they become shining examples of the virtues they seek to embody,
inspiring others to follow their lead.

For Xaevyir, the pursuit of honor is inextricably linked to his devotion to
Baerinika. As he seeks to raise an honor guard, he knows that he must find
those who share his commitment to moral integrity and the highest standards
of conduct. By gathering such warriors around him, he can create a force that
embodies the very essence of honor and inspires others to follow in their
footsteps. It is a very noble goal, but he seeks an audience with the holy
Spearmaiden to train with this high standard before he does anything. Her
approval means the world to him, and to become a pupil of Baerinika is his
lofty goal.
