Chapter 5

Exploring and meeting new folks has taken most of Bezzilan's time, growing both
inside and out. He's discovered many new things and shared some of them. But one of
his treks took him somewhere that had a significant impact on him, and on his thinking.
He visited a monestary far up in the mountains, named after one Moudrilar.
It was during this visit that he spent time not only in the classroom, and not only
in a circle of meditation, but also in the home of the leaders, Feristle, where he was
given full access to the writings and teachings as laid down in the many books.
People are neither violent nor peaceful by nature, but choose a path of
free will, chooses peace or violence. Bezzilan spent time speaking with Feristle
and some of the others, and his thinking matured. He has chosen a path of peace. But
he, like many of the monks, is not a vegetarian. Not one who simply ignores all around him.
There are creatures and beings that while sentient, are not alive, not independent, not
souled. These are different than the folk of thera, and the adventurers who come here.
Never will he take arms against these latter, going so far as to run away should such a one
attack him. But the former, they are beyond the choice of free will, and as he travels
and learns of thera, like the flow of water he may go over the former, and bring his learning
to all, in writing and in tale.
