He'll also defend them from anyone who would persecute them in the name of Astres.Bariel was from Embria, the home of Master Carthis' school. However, the school never held any appeal for him. In fact, there was nothing that he felt at all passionate about. He was going to stay in Embria all his days and live as a goat-herder in the mountains. But that was before the coming of Osram, Prelate of Astres.The faith of Astres was not very strong in the hinterlands; the imperial presence was minimal, and other than knowing Astres existed the people didn't think of him much. And so Osram, a travelling priest and administrator, found very little foundation for his work. He attempted to put life into the faith in Embria, but just didn't have much luck.Except for Bariel.Something about Osram's stories of Astres and the ousting of the elemental lords kindled a fire inside the young man. He had found a passion he'd never known before, and he could not contain it. Osram knew that he had accomplished something- if even one zealot of the faith could come from this backwater, he was successful. But he also knew that Bariel could not stay here and continue to grow in knowledge of the holy Astres. Osram inducted Bariel into the mysteries of the faith, and then encouraged him to induct himself in Carthis' school to learn the way of the sword- Astres' way.And so Bariel began his training. However, he found it difficult. Master Carthis did not discriminate in his choice of students, and so there were many violators of the Sanction amongst the classes. But, Bariel could not find anything to hate about them. If anything, he wondered why a loving god like Astres would exclude others as His own people had once be excluded. This did not cause him to waver in his faith, but merely to pray and study more.In time, he grew in faith and strength, becoming both an acolyte of Astres and a swordsman of skill. Now he is ready to set out and bring the faith to others- and see what this faith really means.</blockquote>
