Role

Chapter 3

Zdrostal left the shrine of his Lord Korsgaard feeling inspired. He had the
chance to express himself and beseech his Lord for his blessings upon the
crusade. The path had merely begun. He bought before him three items that
would show the start of his Pathfinger's journey and he was eager to place
his feet upon the road. Before he left he was allowed a decision. To choose
an aspect of his faith to enhance with holy virtue and he found himself in
a moment of worship and meditation, wondering which direction he should be
focusing his faith.

For Zdrostal was all about inspiring hope in the innocents by his actions,
bringing them peace and allowing them to feel safe and secure in their own
homes. But he knew this came at a cost, a cost that demanded retribution to
the enemies of the light. It was a hard decision which must come first. It
it retribution that inspires hope? Is it hope that empowers retribution? He
thought about his days since leaving the Tahril Mountains, his path to the
Fortress and induction into the Brigade. He had felt the sting of war and
had seen the despair Thera had fallen into and he knew at once that he must
first follow the path of retribution. The need was dire.

So he chose his path of faith, hoping that one day his actions would show a
new hope to Thera. With his sword and shield at his side, his Lord behind
his prayers he felt empowered and ready to face any challenge upon the road
that lay ahead. For a Pathfinder, now is always the time to act.
