You pray to the heavens for help!
An Immortal says 'What do you know of purity?'
You are hungry.
eat brownie
You get a brownie with lemon sauce from a large sack.
You are full.
You say 'It is a freedom from guilt and sin..'
You say 'I see purity as an unreachable goal..'
You say 'You can always reach for total purity..but it rarely happens..'
Teklan scratches the mark on his forehead.
An Immortal says 'If you see it as unreachable, how do you plan to teach this to others?'
You say 'I wish to teach the method used to reach a purity the individual wishes..'
You say 'Purity isn't the same in everyones eyes..'
You say 'though the method is usually near the same'
An Immortal says 'Do you seek to become a follower of the Horn?'
You say 'I do.'
An Immortal says 'Purity is not the same in everyone's eyes, you are correct..'
An Immortal says 'But neither is it truly pure either..'
You say 'True purity i see, is achieving another level of living..to become an Immortal..'
An Immortal says 'Have you walked throughout the shrine?'
You say 'I have'
An Immortal says 'Then you realize that is not alone the same beliefs as those of the Horn?'
An Immortal says 'Not along, even.'
You say 'I have walked though the divine awareness and the divine enlightenment and i did not notice that..'
An Immortal says 'What gave you the belief of immortality as bein' pure?'
You shake your head.
An Immortal says 'Do you call those of my own bearing the mark of the horn unpure?'
You say 'I said if there was to be a total purity..immortality i see would be one possible way'
You say 'bearing the mark of the horn means you seek purity..to improve yourself'
You say 'to improve others who has an open mind'
An Immortal says 'You misunderstand a very important principle..'
An Immortal says 'While what you say is true..'
An Immortal says 'These do seek to become pure and assist others..'
An Immortal says 'If they cannot attain spiritual purity as a mortal, then it seems hopeless..'
You nod.
An Immortal says 'One of my last followers was known as "the Pure"..'
You say 'I guess I think of spiritual purity and total purity as different'
An Immortal says 'What is spiritual purity to yerself?'
You say 'I see spiritual purity as a state of being, where your spirit is not corrupted....'
You are thirsty.
You say 'You feel confident in yourself and the world around you, teaching those who wish, and destroying those closed minded people who won't even stop to hear you out'
You are thirsty.
You get a metal canteen insulated in a wolf's pelt from a large sack.
Chaerephon tells you 'care to join pleckis and myself?'
You tell Chaerephon 'I am speaking to my lord, sorry.'
You drink water from a metal canteen insulated in a wolf's pelt.
You do not feel thirsty.
An Immortal says 'What can corrupt the spirit?'
You say 'Things such as lust, greed, hatred..'
You say 'anything that would hinder your spirit'
An Immortal says 'You are a duergar, do you not feel these emotions?'
You shake your head.
You say 'I suppose I was brought up different..'
You say 'I wasn't brought up around other duergar..'
You shrug.
An Immortal says 'Where were you brought up?'
You say 'Just outside Tar valon, on a farm..'
You say 'I mainly read and worked the soil..with my father..'
An Immortal says 'Who taught you, and what values did they instill within you?'
An Immortal nods as he listens.
You say 'My uncle, Sebit, had quite an impact on my life..'
You say 'He lived on the farm with us..'
An Immortal says 'Was your father a duergar as well?'
You nod.
You say 'He was'
You say 'He never spoke much of his past when I asked of it'
You say 'Always spoke of correcting his wrongs by making me right'
You shake your head.
You say 'Never understood it'
An Immortal nods.
You say 'My uncle taught me how to cherish the land, and the people living on it'
You say 'Those who deserve mercy..'
You say 'He brought me books from Tar valon on the subject of spirit and purity..'
You say 'After reading what I could.'
You say 'I went to Tar Valon myself..'
You say 'Many took me for what I wasn't'
You say 'When I walked by they would whisper to themselves and hide their wares'
You shake your head.
You say 'Never even spoke to me'
You say 'I spoke to one sister in the tower'
You say 'She fortold things to happen in my life..'
You say 'She spoke of me joining the Village and standing next to Nesam's side when the mages were totally destroyed.'
You say 'I am ranting....'
You shake your head.
A deep rumbling shakes the room as you hear an Immortal chuckle.
An Immortal says 'Join the Village, eh?'
You nod.
You say 'People spoke of them not allowing it..bah..I see nothing wrong with it as long as my spirit and heart are pure.'
An Immortal says 'Battle pride themselves on their skills..'
You say 'Must all of the village be the same?'
You say 'One can want the same goal, and yet act differently.'
An Immortal says 'Yes, for that is what draws us together and gives us our powers..'
You say 'Can one not pride themselves on...themself?'
You say 'instead of their skills..'
An Immortal says 'You can, but do you not seek to pray to me?'
You nod.
You are hungry.
An Immortal says 'I would be grantin' you the power, it is not yerself..'
You nod.
You say 'This is true..but I cannot pride myself on your power..'
You are hungry.
You say 'Pride for being chose by you'
You say 'but not pride in your powers'
An Immortal nods.
You are hungry.
eat brownie
You get a brownie with lemon sauce from a large sack.
You are full.
An Immortal says 'Why did you choose the profession of shaman?'
You say 'Wasn't really a choice'
You say 'More of a thrusting from my uncle.'
An Immortal says 'We all have choices..'
You nod.
You say 'Yes..'
You say 'I wasn't going to let my uncle or father down'
You say 'The profession has yet to dissappoint me..and it has been quite the experience.'
You say 'So in essence I chose it down the road a bit..'
You say 'Much of the information i read, was based around shamanic ways'
Teklan scratches the mark on his forehead.
An Immortal says 'Then you should have realized the shaman is not the way of the Horn..'
You say 'Why is that?'
An Immortal says 'They are focused on the war between the Good and the Evil..'
You shake your head.
You say 'I must be a bit odd'
An Immortal says 'It is the way of the shaman, those less concerned with these "grand" worldly matters tend to be healers or druids..'
You say 'Of course the war of good and evil affects me..but not as much as my spirit or the spirit of others..'
You say 'Would being a shaman affect me gaining your trust and touch?'
An Immortal nods.
What's bothering you?
You say 'Because of a profession?'
You say 'I did think the horn was about self growth, and spiritual purity?'
An Immortal says 'You can gain my mark, but you will never be granted the powers of your profession..'
What's bothering you?
You say 'Seems a bit wrong to base that on a generalization of other shamans in the past.'
An Immortal says 'It is the way of the guild..'
You say 'There are no exceptions to the way?'
An Immortal says 'No..'
You nod.
An Immortal says 'This is too deeply rooted within the culture of Thera..'
You nod.
You say 'Very well then, it will not detour me from gaining your trust and mark.'
An Immortal says 'Do you remain undeterred?'
You say 'I do.'
You are thirsty.
You drink water from a metal canteen insulated in a wolf's pelt.
You do not feel thirsty.
An Immortal says 'What do you think of yer duergar kin?'
You say 'All depends on who you speak of..many are not too good in my eyes'
An Immortal nods.
You say 'The majority would sooner rob you blind and kill you than speak to you.'
You say 'So far in my life, the only decent duergars have been my uncle, mother and father.'
You say 'I am basing that on present actions, I know not of their past.'
An Immortal nods.
An Immortal says 'What do you plan to do with yerself, in my name?'
You say 'I would improve my spirit, and the spirit of others who are willing.'
You say 'I will destroy defilers, and if not close minded speak to them.'
An Immortal nods.
You say 'Other than that, I don't plan on drawing a horn on a banner and prancing through Galadon.'
You snicker softly.
An Immortal nods.
You feel renewed, as a wave of stress is relieved from your body.
