Praise For Heroism
Posted by Aiden on 04/15/17
On the date of 4/10/1006 AR, I witnessed unquestionable heroism for which quick actions saved my life.
I, Prince Aiden Grayson, had an opportunity to refine armor in the Lower Boroughs by recommendation, when I was set upon by restless and opportunistic men. These men were not our enemy despite their attack upon my person, they were not aligned with Brand's army, instead, they were the unfortunate results of a siege that has forced the people to act in ways they may have otherwise reconsidered.
Robbery is a criminal act, as was the act of forcibly detaining a person against their will, and such acts of crime will continue to be punished accordingly. However, it must be said, for the people who witnessed the unfortunate end of one of their own and felt wronged by it, I tell you now, the man that died was one that nearly took my own life when he stabbed me, threatened me at knife point, and robbed me of my possessions. Further, the man attempted to evade authorities when he was given numerous chances to turn himself in and engaged in a struggle when authorities reached him, threatening their lives as well with his lawlessness. His end was writ by his hand.
To the heroes who acted swiftly to save my life, I owe you my thanks. I praise the quick actions of Sir Silas Mercier, Lord Commander of the Iron Guard and his men, Master Calaudrin Estardes of the Iron Guard, and Master Sparte Fatchforth of the Iron Guard. Lord Tobias Telmar, Lord General of the Crimson Blades Mercenary Company. Lord Killian Ashford. And Master Agnarr of the Valorous Few Mercenary Company.
To the good people of Arx I say, keep heart, for even in the time of great evil and barbaric violence, there are those among you who strive to keep peace, justice, and lawfulness, such as these great men I listed above. There are heroes among you who will do what's right, no matter the cost to them, and who will help you at no expense to themselves. These are the people who we will need to support at all costs, so that we may work together and face the real demons at our doorstep. As long as people of good moral character exist, remember, we will win.
