Chapter 6

Many ask what she would have done if she did not learn of her past.
Being raised by a former knight, she likely would have sought the Fortress.
So while we know why she now despises magic with a fiery hot fury, it
is of worth to note her views on evil generally. A conversation with the
maran paladin Vartin illuminated and confirmed her realization, her revelation,
that she was never meant for the fortress.

While with Vartin, a younger priest came by and used his power upon Wrukesht
to determine her place in the world, whether she glows gold or red, as it were.
The cleric did this without asking. Wrukesht protested. The priest used
his spark of divine power on Wrukesht without permission. In short, imposing
his will upon her. In her discussion with Vartin, she saw that he did not care,
that it does not matter what others may want, he and his can do whatever they
want. Wrukesht asked is not imposing ones will on another without consent one
definition of evil? Vartin could not respond and instead deflected, saying the
priest's act did not harm Wrukesht, so why does she care. If she has nothing to
hide, she should not care. And on and on. All avoiding the heart: it was an evil act.

Wrukesht told him she feared he, as many maran, had taken too many steps into the
domain of evil and should step back. She said she would pray for him, and she did.
For her, it crystalized that she made the right choice. She values and
prizes her goodness, and that of others, but does not think they understand
what it means. The marans and others like them do much good, indisputably.
But they often miss the mark. Wrukesht is content in her decision and path.
