Amriith has lived the life of a Maran since she was a teenager. She walks this
path because she feels it will bring her closer to her Lord, Einoh. That has
always been her purpose. To become closer to Lord Einoh. It has never been
something she thought of as glorified work, but rather, something to be endured.

However. In the Fortress, Amriith has found something she was sure was lost.
Or to be specific: What had left her, and never returned. She had found a
family.

In the Squires, Scribes, Maran, and Acolyte she sees her brothers and sisters.
Overseen by the Lords and Ladies of the Light. Amriith has found a place she
truly belongs, and that means a hell of a lot to a child who was abandoned.

It's an odd situation, to say the least. Amriith feels comforted and supported
in many ways, now, then she never has before. But to walk this path is a burden
and always has been. She can feel the disgust of being near the taint each
and every day. Yet she is proud to fight beside her brothers and sisters. To
stand next to the Watcher and face down the sickness that exists, manifest.
This is a situation she will bring up when she next speaks to her Lord. And
she will further meditate and think on this, on her own, as well.

When the child was killed, it impacted Amriith as a Squire tremendously. She
felt she was being looked down upon and judged harshly by the people who
meant most to her. She would only show her face in the Fortress to defend
or to read the Creed.

In time, as her light began to shine again, and her relationship and
partnership in the farmlands began to grow, she was able to press forward.
She established herself as a top Squire, and soon the Lady Baerinika saw fit
to raise Amriith to Maran. Joining a Brotherhood or Sisterhood that is even
more select, still. Amriith was humbled.

For now, in addition to figuring out how she feels, within, about her place
as a Maran vs. her place as an Einoh follower, she also wants to focus on
slaying some of the greater manifestations of Evil in the lands. Great
Dragons and the like. Reason says to fight all manifestations of Evil. Great
and small.
