> role + fate. Would a quick death be better than the living hell his life was about;

>
> role Suicide, the ultimate act of cowardice. Maelnar was many things to many;
> role + people. Dher’Jal: The child of Prophecy, to his people, anathema to the;
> role + Empire, a defiler to the sylvan warders, a darkheart to the maran, a sworn;
> role + enemy to the battleragers. He was all that and more, but he was NOT a;
> role + coward. Deep within the recess of his psych crept a primordial being that;
> role + even Maelnar did not know off. Its will to survive stronger than any bout;

> role + ;
> role + If it was his destiny to die in agony, then he would meet it standing up.;
> role + He had countless enemies in the world, one more enemy would make;
> role + little difference. Specially an enemy as weak and incompetent as the;
> role + citizens of the Empire. Time and time again, proud foolish citizens tried;
> role + to destroy Maelnar as dictated by imperial law. Time and time again they;
> role + fell. Then there were blacks like Zobrannxo and Shamseddin that would;
> role + continue to amuse Maelnar despite their status as citizens. Zobrannxo;
> role + earned himself the title of anathema for his relations with Maelnar.;
> role + Shamseddin has been far more careful, careful to not acknowledge;
> role + Maelnar as his teacher and benefactor, but accepting his lessona and his;
> role + gifts all the same.;
> role Life has come a full circle for the Dher’Jal. He was born into a destiny that;
> role + he for most of his mortal life worked to avoid. The farther he ran from;
> role + it the closer it seemed to get. As he neared the rank of spectre a new;
> role + question begin to stir in his mind. Would the becoming satisfy his destiny?;
> role + Only time would provide the answers to his questions. He has heard rumors;
> role + of an ancient drow cleric who passed beyond the grasp of death by dying.;
> role + Rumors suggested that he would find him in arboria, and with him;
> role + lay the secrets to his becoming. To the fulfillment of his destiny. Each;
> role + time Maelnar has approached the priest he has been unresponsive.;
> role + Patience is one quality the Dher’Jal has plenty off.
