Clear Name, Cloudy Conscience

Some Warborn are beginning to chafe under Harani rule. I wish they could see, as you do, what the Harani have helped us become! We have value now! We are more than just killers!

If that's true, if we really are more than just killers, then maybe we don't need the Harani or our stabilizers anymore. I mean, say the rebels.

Ha! They see Ezna as a wound that has healed. Over and done. But do you eat one meal and declare yourself full for eternity? No! You must keep eating! That is what our stabilizers provide: continuous nourishment. For our souls.

|nn;Look at that! He thinks himself a poet! Crafting metaphors about your nature! Mark my words: the only metaphor for "evil" is "Warborn." So you were born, so you will always be.|r

|nn;The stabilizers, thank the gods, at least muzzle your urges. But you are still no better than a rabid dog on a leash. You deserve every ounce of suffering you endure.|r

Take this Speaking Stone. It will allow you to communicate with the council of Elders so you can be immediately cleared of any suspicion. When you return to Redempton, give it to |nn;Elder Pacifica|r, and you can perform the ritual.

As the council said earlier, if Rooted Sorrow trusts your character, then so do we. You may begin the Ritual of Atonement at any time.
