Page 1: Conflict.

The conflict between my code and the Maran creed is always something I have
known the truth of. Yet it is all the more difficult with my new position.
When the majestrate asked me if I had seen the young Squire strike one of
our enemies in Voralian city, my code compells me to speak truely; yet to
do so would cost my friend his life. Such was taken out of my hands before
I could pick, but this will happen again. I must think on what to do when
it does.

Then on the other hand I must respect the laws, for that is also part of
the code I live by. I have done so and always strive to. But can I expect
my fellow Maran to do so? No. The measure of their deeds must be judged by
our creed. I cannot place the restrictions I have sworn to on them as well,
for they have made no such pledges other than those made to the Brigade.

This is a difficult balancing act, but I must succeed.
