[QUOTE="Lichtenhart, post: 3113366, member: 761"] "It doesn't. That's why the Orders are so bitter with each other. They're men and women with incredible power and amazing wisdom, but that spent centuries, if not millennia, focusing on the little things that make us different instead of the big things that makes us alike." "There are many things that I think are interesting and admirable in all the Orders' philosophies. I've come to think that each of them is necessary, even if they all despise the others, and think they are right while all the others are wrong. The Arrows live a life of service, discipline, dedication, and often sacrifice, and I don't think they get often the praise they deserve. The Guardians too sacrifice much, and take on a most unpleasant and difficult duty. It's easy to get annoyed when they overstep, and be assured that they do, but wouldn't things be worse if their vigilance were lax? The Ladder thinks their responsibility to bring back the light to the world, and I hold in great value the efforts they take to this end. I would hold them in even greater esteem if they didn't take so much pride in that. The mystagogues are fascinating, as they commit themselves completely to their love of knowledge, and are brave enough to delve deeper than anyone else. Perhaps inevitably, this makes them so fond of their findings that they are loath to share them. We, the libertines, stand at the outer edge of them all, as living reminders to all the mages that there are also other ways, and that not all blessings are poured on the awakened. We look for the rare gold nugget in the gravel, for the rare truth that sneaks through the Lie, and that bears so much satisfaction if you can find it. I often said, though my fellow members don't like it, that we are scavengers. Freedom comes at a price." [/QUOTE]
