[QUOTE="Velenne, post: 1317604, member: 1856"] [b]Saint Norin, "Dawnkeeper", Human Ascetic[/b] The Dawnkeeper watches Orshallan throughout the briefing (for that is really what this is) and takes note of the man's postures, gestures and mannerisms. During his father's former reign, he saw many otherwise-holy men compromise their ethics when given power. Heironeous forgives a certain degree of compromise, just as Galdaron in delaying the justice of the Beggar King. But there are depths of compromise that an individual can quickly find himself staring up from in the company of evil. Norin does not envy Orshallan's task as High Righteousness in a city such as this. When all is said, he merely gives another sincere nod. The others would ask questions, and he would like to know who would ask what questions. What their priorities were; how their minds worked. Understanding one's friends was just as important as one's enemies. And as the High Righteousness had indeed hand-picked those around the table, Norin considered them all to be friends. Neither the news nor the task itself comes as a particular shock to him. He is resigned peacefully, as always, to accomplish the will of his god wherever such paths might lead him. In his time, Norin has fought beside many a strange companion against far more perilous odds than these. One does not defy a High Lord easily after all, especially one's own father. [/QUOTE]
