Journal Entry 1: Sra, the Light, and the Fortress

This one worried when did struck out upon his path to wear the robes of a
scribe that the Fortress would be stuffy and pious. While that be true after
a fashion especially among the Maran, it has been joyous to study healing
amongst the Acolytes. This one thinks the death blows the Maran must deal for
the sake of the innocent weigh on them and steals a joy of life.

This one hopes to bring a lightness that be missing at times amongst the
shining walls. To take the Maran out on adventures to see and appreciate all
they fight for. If one only sees death and weh it can stain the soul, this
one seeks to help them find a balance in life so they might not fall into the
role of a mindless murderer.

Many see Sra as the Light and Weh as the Darkness but this be a gross
simplification of what be all encompassing. All things be Sra or Weh. A
pebble be Weh because it holds no life or Sra within it. While a sappling be
Sra for it does hold life, but it be more than that. When someone dies for 3
days the body is both Sra and Weh till the soul leaves then it be of Weh only.
This one hopes to teach the Fortress about the people of the swamp so they
might better understand them for future dealings.
