> 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..'

> 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.

> 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..'

> 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.
