Or were we mere pawns all along?" Ashnar closes his eyes. "Back in Otun, my family has the undeserved reputation of being 'defiant to all gods.' The whole family, from my parents to some far ancestor whose deeds started it. That is why I was sent to be trained in the local temple. Hah. The ironic thing is that the local temple isn't dedicated to a known god, but to a forgotten one. Few of the priests were actually capable of performing miracles, and they weren't particularly organized. They belonged to different faiths even. The others were simply amateurs who had learned to use healing wands. Not an easy task, to be sure, but they made it sound even grander. These facts certainly helped when I discovered my true Duty, and my calling as a wizard. My family accepted it, but I am still sworn not to use their name until I cleared it. Until I have proven I am not a godsfoe. And in the service of Monemvassia, what happens? I die having to fear that I defied a god, and after that, we might be considered having helped another god. In a small way." He shakes his head. "And in the process, we lost Nurlan, couldn't get Frump, and are uncertain if the dragon survived."</blockquote>
