Role

Chapter 2

Vartin spoke with Zaisino about joining the Fortress, and was recommended to
Bazz with her approval. Meeting Bazz, he gave Vartin an interview about why he
wanted to join the Acolytes instead of the Maran, and Vartin replied that he
felt more of a calling to assist and aid others in their growth and protection
rather than seek out the wicked for slaughter. He was impressed by how Bazz
bore the mark of being one of Azorinne's chosen, and Bazz gave him one of the
books of the eclipse so that Vartin could educate himself beyond simply
seeking Justice to try to seek and understand a synthesis of all of Her
tenets.

Travelling with the squire-aspirant conjurer Abehnanka, Vartin finds himself
enjoying her company and her praise more than he should, and reminds himself
to guard himself against pride as he prays to Azorinne for Her continued
assistance in walking the path of a paladin, visiting the shrine north of
Voralian to give a quick prayer of devotion before returning to his works.
