En me years treadin' tha path O' tha light, ah profound truth dawned upon
meh, like ah mighty hammer strikin' tha forge. Tha revelation came after me
dear friend, Gochon, met his untimely end. It were then that Ah witnessed ow'
impatience leads ter folly, na just fer Gochon, but en me comrades as well.

It were na just me allies who met dere fate en haste, but me enemies too. En
tha heat O' battle, they lacked tha wisdom ter see tha consequences O' they
actions. It were then that Ah recognized tha potency O' temperance.

As a devoted follower O' tha Jaguar, tha light has ever guided me steps.
Though a've na set me eyes upon er' en many ah year, er' absence only served
ter strengthen meh resolve ter embrace temperance.

Through tha transformations O' me life, wisdom slowly reshaped me frem ah
dwarf embodin' Prudence ahn fortitude, inta one who core virtues bein'
prudence and temperance. It were ah shockin' epiphany, Ah tell yer. Tha
years, tha foes, an tha fallen, all played ah role en temperin' me resolve.

Fortitude still courses through me veins, but temperance emerged above it
like ah steadfast mountain risin' amidst turbulent waters. No longer did Ah
rely on just me prudence ahn fortitude, er on sheer strength ahn resilience,
for now, ah also wielded temperance with tha fervor befitting ah dwarven monk
who be growin' older en wiser.

Victories ahn defeats, tha falls that could've been prevented, tha sight O'
friend ahn foe meetin' similar fates, all shaped me inter tha dwarf Ah am
today.

When Ukruruk, tha Chieftain O' tha Skulls had emerged, ah relentless evil not
seen en Thera fer years, Ah recalled Baerinika's courage. She faced an orc,
knowin' she would die, but stoppin' him to save her people. Ah burst O'
determination surged within me, much like ers. Ah hunted tha orc
relentlessly, ahn Ah believe it finally knew fear O' tha light, when he
crossed me path.

This orc feasted upon allies ahn enemies alike. Ah knew if Ah fell en battle,
he'd have desecrated me fully. But Ah weren't special, Thera itself he sought
ter ravage. If na me, another would have ter pursue ahn slow, or even try ter
stop, tha orc's reign O' terror. Fer Thera's sake, Ah couldn't let tha
happen.

Me skills honed and me commitment ter Prudence ahn temperance, Ah could
anticipate me enemies' movements wit greater clarity. Me own failures became
valuable lessons, ahn during tha time spent huntin' and fightin' tha orc,
temperance took root within me. It was as if me very bein' were reshaped
anew, strengthened by the fires O' wisdom ahn self-restraint.

This revelation came na without its price. Ah witnessed how lack O' temperance
ahn too much haste, could inadvertently bring sufferin' ahn hardship upon tha
innocent.
