“To rise against the steadying hand is a sacrilege.” Abdar Fia

To turn from the path of service is dishonor and cowardice. If one is too weak to bend, then they should seek out death rather than shame their family and follow the path of the rebels. Rebellion is the path of spineless fools without vision or clarity of spirit. Their fear drives them toward a destiny that will only reap endless disappointment.

I am Hohepa, of the Brutor tribe, in service by family right. I am the most capable son from my bloodline, in service to the strongest daughter of their bloodline. The paths of our families have interwoven for countless generations, and my path into service with her was in no way an easy or certain one.
