Everything happens for the best reason, the White Lord would not allow it otherwise. This is the best possible world, everything had happened already in the White Lords mind. Don't struggle, give in and accept the word of those who are closer to him. Rebels in the Papacy as despite a similarity in doctrine they do not worship the Pope.
When do you feel most alive? In acts of extreme passion, sex, murder, violence, fear. Cultivate these extremes and help everyone come alive, even if they have to die to realise it. Another rebellious Papacy group.
We serve the Pope's will. Without him the world would end in fire, chaos and anarchy. Only through the order his commands bring us can we hope to save the world. We worship Pope Paltrow's Divine Goodness and follow his commands as he needs us to.
Gold may buy you bigger things but it is silver that makes up gold. We merchants don't deal in luxuries and other big objects. We are quite happy just to get by selling simple things to simple folk. Deal your luxuries to others, we have what the people need and we will make sure that they get it.
We may once have been pirates and cut throats but we are examples of what a little charity and goodness can do to turn a life around. We now run the biggest shipping company in the Papacy with the blessing of the Pope himself. All you have to do is accept his love and you'll be given a chance to walk the straight and narrow.
DON'T THINK. BE JUST BE. ACT AS YOU ACT.
We are just a simple group of merchants providing goods and services throughout the city-states. You need something there, fast / large / both we can do it. No questions asked, ah you'll be wanting our special rates.
Need to go somewhere, just hire one of our fine caravans. We can ship anything you wish, you need guards we have the best, your need speed we have the finest horses, you need luxury well that will cost extra.
We are a bunch of free thinking independents. Only by looking at life and considering it from every possible angle can you hope to understand the world. Oh and we have the single greatest collection of books in the world, many of them written by our members over the past thousand years.
These gifted are a danger. We need to make sure that all the incidents that started up around Taeorn don't happen again. They have to be accepted as people, sure some of my best friends are gifted, but they have to be watched and regulated to make sure that they don't go around messing things up like they did last time. Especially none of that mind control stuff, why it makes me shudder.
The Gifted serve higher powers, surely with all the good they have done they must be gods. Look at how they have rebuilt our city so that it is even better than before. Praise them and all their works. Sure there are evil ones but every force of good must have its nemesis.
We are the most misunderstood of those who are gifted. Our powers may work differently to the others but that does not make us evil. They called us tainted before but surely we are no more tainted than one of them. The powers themselves are not wrong merely what they are used for.
An organisation of female warriors who have been instrumental in keeping peace and law in New Taeorn. The organisation was founded by Liinei Arioc and run by her until her murder a week before the eclipse, at which time a concerted strike killed many of the Harpies.
Many of the Guilds from the last game have survived as well in one form or another.
It's out there you know, the city of peace which can heal the world. We may just be mercenaries now but soon well have enough money to fund our expedition and when we find it everything will be better.
My word is my life, my honour is my world. I may be a mercenary but does that mean I cannot have higher understanding. What happens next does not matter, no one knows, therefore live properly now.
All things flow to the ocean, our job is sort out those that go first. How much did you say? Yes I think that is a good price to help divert the course of nature, his death is inevitable, you just want it to come faster.
The first river is life, the second objects and the third hope, the ocean is deep and vast and can contain everything, we just make sure it contains more sooner.
creation and destruction are linked. Without creation you cannot have destruction. We are here to provide that destruction when it is needed to allow something to grow in its place. Once we were called tainted, now everyone shall see that there is a natural place for out powers in the universe, entropy must exist otherwise the natural order stops working. The Gifted reflect that balance.
