Role

Chapter 18

Things are beginning to take shape in my life. A long time has passed
since I'd last made an entry in my journal, though many events have since
taken place. Far too many to record now. What I will say though, is that
I've accepted a job offer from Ildilintra to join the Blood Tribunal. It
is not the Fortress, but I take comfort that I may live out my life as an
Acolyte without needing to be within the Fortress to do so. In becoming
a Tribunal, I pray the citizens of Voralian City may find comfort in my
presence within the city. Knowing that there is someone about to keep
them safe from those that would seek to do them harm.

I did not come to the decision to join the Tribunals lightly, however. It
may have been one of the more difficult decisions in my life that I've
made yet, and I pray my friends do not take it as a betrayal of their
trust. It is however with pride that I take on this new challenge in my
life. There is, admittedly, very little that I can do to bring criminals
to justice, but I will do whatever is necessary to keep my people safe.

After learning what I have of the Tribunal... I may still be an Acolyte
of sorts. My immediate means may be through the cities, but that does not
mean the influence of my actions needs to stop there. My purpose remains
the same. I believe I am a good man, but my actions must speak for me in
ways that my words cannot.
