RoleChapter 5 The Power of Civilization and Bellum Omnium Contra Omnes. Added Sat Nov 10 15:28:36 2018 at level 42:The Lord Panmorne also directed me to speak with those I would consider enemies, and I could think of no better individual than one of the leaders of the brigands of the Tree. It was this conversation with the Harbinger, combined with an astute direction from the Provost Ilyana that proved most insightful.
When I confronted the Harbinger Elandarn as to why he was marked as a criminal, I was met with both an expected and unexpected response. First, he stated that he has never been marked for murder, theft, or any other breach of the Laws, other than the 4th. He had only ever been marked as wanted from a direct assault on the Spire or Executioner. This was rather unexpected, though his rationale, seemed as insipid as they come.
He seizes the scales because they are a power of civilization. This, seemed as weak an argument as I have ever heard. Even without the Blood Tribunal, without the Spire, civilization would continue, even flourish. It was here that Ilyana's direction to read Bellum Omnium Contra Omnes by Servielln Iglesiun in the Eternal Library provided even more insight into why this is an utterly flawed argument.
The power of civilization lies in collaboration. Once, collaboration between man, crop, and animal, the foundations of agriculture. But more so, as Servielln stated, collaboration between men and women to watch over one another during times most vulnerable. Even the strongest must sleep, eat, even defecate. Without others, even the largest herd bull will be brought low. This means the roots of civilization are in the basis of any organized and mutually beneficial behavior. Even in their barbaric ways, even the tree follows their own precepts, and looks out for one another, the very basis of civilization.
This, I returned to time and time again, as this is my draw for upholding the law. To be the watch for those who would work together to survive, and knowing others shall watch for my times of weakness.
