THE FR CORE ETHOS STATEMENT
Hello everyone, it seems the thief has a heart of gold, or maybe it is just a sense of fair competition.
The thief looked down the cavern's passage, the dragon was coming, that was for sure. The paladin was saying somthing to him, but he was not listening. Sure they could escepe together, just maybe. But there was only one dragon. Splitting up would ensure the survival of both. But which one? The thief was not about to take a chance with his own life, so that meant there was only one way to split up and ensure survival. Someone would have to stay behind. The thief knew the paladin would not do this. Fingering the pommel of his dagger he gazed at the open space in the armor behind the paladins knee. He thought about the quick stroke. But then he remembered the code of the guild of Kor-Nalakat. He who steals by the knife, dies by the knife. And was he not stealing time from his companion? Furthermore, what would he meet later in these caves. There were still many more dangers- better faced with a friend than alone. And indeed the paladin was a friend. And with this the thief chose a middle ground "Horgart!" he shouted the paladin's name, "Survival of the fittest!" At this he began running down the passage. If they were both fit, they would both survive. Even though they were quite useful, the thief knew that dirty tricks could only get you so far. And he needed to get as far as he could.
THE SENTENCE: Page 6. Column 1. Ancient Wonders, paragraph 1 line 1.
"The history of Faerun is dominated by the cyclic rise and cataclysmic destruction of empires founded on knowledge of the intricacies of magic."
Everything about the forgotten realms can come back to this statement.
