Random stories from a random monk of Winchester

[Maximilian Lhoth]

Sebastian felt like the world was in turmoil. Criminal activity so common, their hideouts so numerous, and even some deities allowing them safe havens in their guarded areas.

Depressive thoughts raged in his mind; is this world going to be doomed to be ruled by malevolent or selfish forces? He felt incompetent; unable to protect Britannia, not because lack of trying much, but because of the ranks of Law diminishing, some of them even choosing criminal careers.

Where do loyalties of people lie? Is it only selfishness and easy money that matters? What about the future of Britannia? Is this the human nature, to follow the easy money, regardless of methods? Money is power, and power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. When the power is in wrong hands, the result will be a world of paranoia and injustice.

Is Britannia even worth defending? Does anyone follow the eight virtues anymore, Sebastian wondered.

Luckily, for Sebastian, there are some highly loyal people in Law, who have a full commitment to Winchester - the uncorrupt deity - and the virtues of Britannia. Winchester was once a human being, but it was exactly his extraordinary ability to stay uncorrupt and highly virtuous, which made him to progress to the state of a demi-god. These loyal followers of Winchester have been highly supportive. Sebastian felt thankful for them.

Sebastian also consulted his wise, older relative, who said he must not give up. He suffers of depression. He needs time to recover, and definitely, to avoid battle for some time. Too much of bloodshed he has seen and participated in, alongside his fears of world in turmoil and the doubting of peoples real motives, have together led to his weakened mental condition. He must rest for a while, the relative said. Seven days of just resting and trying to blank his mind was the recommendation. Sebastian listened to his words, and knew him of his high experience and intellect - he decided to follow the wise man's suggestion. After the acute first seven days, he must still avoid battle. He must avoid all trauma and situations which may cause anxiety. He must fix himself, and it takes time, no one knows how long.

Sebastian listened, considered, and knew him of his high experience and intellect - he decided to follow the wise man's suggestion. After the acute first seven days, he must still generally avoid battle and act as a support for his order mostly by non-violent means. He must avoid all trauma and situations which may cause anxiety. He must repair himself, and it takes time - no one knows how long.

I took a blank scroll today, drew a family tree to tell about my Lhoth family... but I felt lazy. Maybe later I will tell stories of my ancestors. Here is the finely drawn tree on a very finely bleached scroll. Maximilian finished it. I only drew a rough draft.

We, in Law, have an ally guild. Waves of Arcane is its name. Basically it is Law, but the powers we use are not Clerical, but Arcane - the realms of magery, necromancy and druidry, Currently we have all of those casters in the guild.

Why am I writing this to my stories? Because Konrad Lhoth joined it just recently. With their rich backups, who support our cause, they managed to get a fine headquarters building in Skara. Konrad "Tidal Wave" Lhoth is the Co-owner of the Headquarters. Our wise mage, Gurrnutt "Venom Wave" Venomblade is our guildmaster.

I am really happy to see my cousin to finally do something... he is going to brush his teeth, cut his greasy hair and ugly, outgrown beard, for on the battlefields a little more military style will benefit him - the hair won't block his vision or itch. Tree hugger's long hair will likely be a military style clean cut or close to it. The beard shall be a fine goatee. I wish he finds a girlfriend from Waves of Arcane. He is a bit bisexual... so why not a boyfriend instead? I doubt though he is THAT bisexual. Maybe just a bit bi-curious. He always had the fighter in him, not the fashion designer.

I, Sebastian, am straight myself, but I have no issue with my cousing being what he is.

I hope Waves of Arcane will be a great help for our fine Order of Law. This day made me happy. Long live Order of Law, long live Waves of Arcane, and long live my cousin Konrad Lhoth!
