The Theran Mystique - Volume 2, Issue 6
|
I spoke to Tethesis earlier today of the battles with Phelanyo.
Somehow, the conversation wound to focus on the Knight
Executor's beliefs and the goals for his Knights, so I shall
scribe them here.
'The Castle has been completely misunderstood for ages past,'
he stated. What people have been believing thus far, is that
Knights are a force for vengeance, in essence a Justice of the
Light, meant to beat back the Darkness for the grievances it
has made against the good people of Thera.
No longer is this the case, if it ever should have been. Nay,
the Knights are now commanded forth by their leader to set
Evil in its place before any harm can be done
to destroy the vestiges of uncouthness and malevolence before they can come
to fruition. Merely walking in the path of the shadows now
merits a death warrant at the hands of a Knight, or at the
very least a battle, for as Tethesis says: 'If an evil is truly not
evil, or a good person, he will convert, else, we must assume
that his refusal to convert is his pledge to the darkness, or that
some part of the shadows yet offers appeal to his eyes, and so
he remains on that path.'
And for those dissenters who split from his administration
following his declaration of such? 'The incapable, or the
unwilling - the beings who have not the heart to be a Knight:
they have been removed. If you ever speak to them,' Tethesis
continued, 'all they can say is that I am a liar. They will call
Drayskel a liar, they will call me corrupt, and any other name they
know. However the problem lies in the fact that when you
ask them why, they have no answer. They only seek to defile
my image, to assassinate my character, to cover for their
own mistakes and shortcomings.'
Undaunted by the retaliatory accusations of former Knights,
Tethesis finished with this statement: 'What I have stated,
what I have done, is right, and I have the backing of the
Gods, the ultimate approval.'
