[QUOTE="Sagiro, post: 167123, member: 726"] Way back in the campaign, right around the time when the Delfirian invasion was beginning, Morningstar asked the chronicler Previa if she could do some research. Specifically, she wanted to know if there were any holy writings in the Ellish library pertaining to the whole "Child of Light" business, or at least mentions that it was okay for an Ellish priestess to be active beneath the light of the sun. After a few days, Previa had dug up these three passages from three different holy books: "Those that follow Ell shall see the truth hidden in darkness, but truths there are in light that are not less true." ----- "...for though we shall stand 'neath the moon and be blessed by the Goddess, also we shall stand 'neath the sun and be not burned..." ----- and finally this bit, a dialogue between an old priestess and a novice, written long ago: [b]Priestess:[/b] "Children of the night are we, and always will the children of the day be more numerous. We must therefore be ever watchful, for the day-kind will mistrust us, and at times use the light as a spear to blind us." [b]Novice: [/b] "But should we not then become children of the dawn, with the night as a shield in one hand, and our own spears of light in the other? We should not fear the day-kind." [b]Priestess:[/b] "Indeed. In time, we must have guards beneath the morning star and the evening star, else our dreams become nightmares." [/QUOTE]
