Role

Chapter 5

It has been years some time since I addressed this journal, but I feel that
sufficient time has passed to allow my meditations to ruminate. In this time,
I have also spoken with the one requested by the Ancient Greenhoof, Ilaenuru,
as well as the Elder Prophet of Light. I am unsure if their words granted any
more clarity, but my meditation on them may have.

How Ilaenuru spoke of his way of following the Path of Life, did not speak to
me as much as I am sure it speaks to him. Perhaps it is his path as the sword
of light, but the justification wrang hollow to me. He attempted to draw
difference between respecting the laws and law keepers and obeying them. I
feel in a way, this is only paying lip service to the Laws of the Land.

What I could agree with from him to an extent is his explanation of how the
Law fails the people it was designed to protect. The Laws are reactive, he
told me, and by the time the Law is able to act, the sins of the perpetrator
have often been completed. Because of this reason, it is why he has taken a
proactive stance, I am sure, and why he is or seeks to be a Maran.

But this explanation still does not provide me the adequate answer to the
Ancient's question that I seek.
