Role

Chapter 2


Some Tribunal Musings
Added Fri Mar 5 01:06:19 2021 at level 51:

To Galathaniel, the Blood Tribunal is a truly amazing place. Uniquely among
the great powers of Thera, it is here - in the Spire - that adventurers of
different moral inclinations have learned to work and live together. All
towards a greater good, a shared vision of an Orderly utopia.

Yes, the Empire is Orderly, the same as we of the Tribunal are. But they are
also exclusively Dark, and their vision of an ideal society is sadly warped by
the cruel Lords of Empire. That the potential for good is there, in the
Empire, cannot be denied - Servielln's treatise, Bellum - in the Eternal
Library, makes this clear. Yet the Orderly Dark of the Spire are much further
along the path to redemption than any present-day Imperial can hope to be.

The Outlanders? Well yes, they have their 3 branches - Wardens, Sentinels,
Reavers. They do not truly co-exist nor work together though, certainly not
the Wardens and the Reavers, for history has known Nightreavers who wreaked
death upon Sunwarden and Harbinger alike.

As for the Village, well, they are more a loose confederation of universally
murderous thrill-seekers, than any sort of model for good-evil co-existence
and mutual help. How any of the Light can join the Village and remain of the
Light, well, it is not something that Galathaniel can profess to understand.

That said, he is proud to be of the Blood Tribunal, happy to call every
Magistrate brother (or sister, as the case may be). When Galathaniel goes to
aid Dark Magistrates, he is clear on his reasons for doing so.

Firstly, these Dark Magistrates are on a path to redemption through their
'good works' as peacekeepers and guardians of the Four Cities. Were they
instead Scions, Reavers or Imperials, they would be out and about committing
armed robberies, murder and rapine. Instead, much of their time is spent in
the cities, upholding the Laws - which are protective - and saving lives.

Secondly, in showing kindness to his Dark colleagues - including even some of
the more reasonable Imperials - Galathaniel is convinced that he is teaching
them kindness. Helping them see him - an elf-son of Darsylon - as something
other than prey or an enemy, and - with that hopefully - other elf-sons and
daughters of Darsylon, indeed other peoples of the Light too.

Thirdly, fairplay and reciprocity. The simple fact is that Galathaniel has
seen that the Dark of the Spire, again including even some Imperials, have not
hesitated to aid their Magistrate brothers and sisters of the Light. It seems
hypocritical, ungrateful and unkind therefore, to on the one hand be a
beneficiary of such help, but on the other to deny one's benefactors
reciprocal help.

The above then were some of the reasons why Galathaniel saw fit to aid his
fellow Magistrates - irrespective of their moral leanings - from even before
the time he joined the Spire. Regrettably though, the day soon came when his
doings caught the eye of the Golden Host...
