Message: <blockquote data-quote="iStrider" data-source="post: 3156434" data-attributes="member: 24031">Sorry it has taken me so long to get this posted but I have been very busy lately.Here is some of Shallahai’s perspectives and how they have changed over the course of the campaign…Shallahai is very gentle and quiet by nature.  He believes that all things originate from the Green and thus everything has a place in the world.  As such personal freedoms are important and should be maintained.  He did not care who people worshiped so long as others let him worship who he wanted in his own way.Canaanites have always persecuted followers of the Green but Shallahai has always held the believe that violence was not the answer and should always be restrained except in the most dire of circumstances.  There is a tradeoff (or balancing point) for the persecution.  It has made followers of the green stronger and more dedicated.Also, Shallahai has a duality about him.  He is typically very gentle and reserved.  However there is also a deep rage in him.  This has become a lot more pronounced after his reincarnation and transformation although at this point in the campaign only Yuindr has been able to bring out the rage that is in him.  His name, the vision he had at his reincarnation, the blade Yuindr that he wields all play a significant roll in his life and the decisions he has made and will have to make in the future.Name:  In Shallahai's order it is common for each Druid to choose a name from nature that suits him.  As such his name is very significant to the path he has taken.  Shallahai chose the name Shale (if you recall that was Shallahai's name at the beginning of the story hour).  Shale (the rock) is a hard rock that is formed from very soft materials (mud and sediment usually).  Additionally, Shale can be transformed into a much harder rock called slate.  This is the process Shallahai is going through.  During his transformation Shallahai was shown a vision of what has been and what might be once again (or at least this is how Shallahai views it).  This has caused him to reformulated his view on the Canaanites, at least in part.  His tolerance for them has gone down considerably.  He WILL NOT allow the horrors committed by the army in the vision to happen again.  He will not let the balance to be disrupted like that.  It would be preferable to prevent them by finding a peaceful resolution to the tensions between the Green and Canaan however if that is not possible Shallahai will exercise any force necessary to maintain the balance.  The Green has grown tired of their interference and Shallahai is her answer to it.Not wanting to give anything away in a future story hour update you will see what will happen once Shallahai’s rage is unleashed.His biggest struggle is how to handle the Canaanites.  He believes that most worshipers of Canaan are good people but that the autocracy of the church is corrupt.  How does one bring peace and balance between worshipers of the Green and of Canaan when good people stand between him and the church?  He believes that Evora is the answer to this.  But will Evora be willing to openly stand against the church if needed?  How far will he be willing to go?  Only time will tell.</blockquote>
