For the second time in my life, I find myself away from the city I was
born in and once thought to be my home.

Now, more than ever, I see just how wrong I was.

In the past I have been disappointed by the actions of my fellow mortals
and that has caused me great despair, but the children who have taken
over the City and her Guilds recently, have left me nothing short of
embarassed.

So now it is time. Time for an old man to awake from the complacency he
is living in, and to reassess his beliefs and to make sure shares them
with every mortal living in Sapience.

I shall now study as a disciple of the only constant I have had in my
life, War. I will hold my head up high, and continue to strive to
surround myself with people who have the courage to demonstrate the most
important values a person can have.

Loyalty, Honor, Integrity, Courage.

Perhaps I myself will find the opportunity to help a group of people to
grow under these values myself.

Above all, always a soldier,
Tylin
