Chapter 5

She fights. She kills. Another day, another struggle. When the toil and
blood weigh on her heavily, Mizfara often finds her thoughts
returning to a particular lesson she received in Darsylon. The story of
Marcatis, Keeper of the Scales, Judge of Men. While the elves can by no
means lay claim to Marcatis, he nevertheless holds a place of honor at
Temple in Darsylon, along with the other lords of light. And so it was
that Mizfara learned the basic tenets of his faith, along with the rest,
while she was in the care of the priests.

It was not until she left the city, however, that these teachings truly
gained "relevance". Again and again she would bring low those who would
murder or oppress; and on occasion she too would taste death. But
according to the faith of the Keeper, death has no sting for the
righteous. In Marcatis, Mizfara sees the hope for ultimate redemption
from the sins of her past. Subconsciously, perhaps, she also craves
certainty regarding the "justice" of her activites vis-a-vis the wicked
up until this point.

Is she just another soldier, taking orders and fighting in a war whose
true essence ultimately eludes her? Or is she something more?
