Finality.
This principle stands at the pinnacle of everything we hold dear. Look at
your surroundings, drink them in. This is God. Your very bones were
created to serve Him, to bring His Absolution. Dwell on that thought. Be
mindful of your features, of your brothers and sisters. Take in the ground
beneath your feet, and the sweat upon your enemies' brow.
All of this is God.
This principle states that if there is an action that, whether directly or
indirectly, will bring about Absolution, our victory, then you must take
that action, secure in the knowledge that it will further our cause.
What does this mean for you?
As Knights, we have taken oaths, oaths we are bound, as men of honour, to
hold to. Some of these are oaths to our brothers and sisters, others to the
Keep itself. Some of the oaths we have taken are to our family, our
comrades. If you are faced with a decision, between breaking an oath you
have made and taking an action that will bring about God's Absolution, what
are you to do? A man of honour will tell you to keep to your oaths, as they
are above all other things.
This is not so.
As men of Storm Keep, the highest oath we have taken is to God. We have
sworn to uphold his values, and to work to bring to God His Absolution, His
Dawn. The Coming. Whatever you desire to call the End, it is our end-game.
The reward for all our many years' of work.
We are the harbingers of the Prophecy, the Knights of Storm. Many call us
evil, but how many of those realize the goal for which we strive so
fervently? If men and women of Algoron knew, as well as we, what comes with
God, would they cast us down as they do now?
When God speaks to you, Listen. Listen with your whole being, not just your
ears. We are His instruments. Go forth and spread God's word, He awaits
you in every man and woman you will encounter.
Seek the Dawn.
