The Rise of Virtue
By Michael Sessumes
Balance is the universal struggle that seems to be the most prevalent for both the Gods and for man alike. The balance of Order and chaos both within oneself and rippling outward continuously on the cosmic scale. Creation and destruction, battle and birth both connected in a timeless dance of eternal existence, towards what end we mortals can only ponder in hopes that one day we will truly grasp and finally understand. In man's timeless attempt at eventually fully comprehending his own self and true purpose for existence the world has seen many great minds and warriors so numerous that our own sagas can hardly keep track, yet these combined attributes have proven to be a far more illusive occurrence amongst the pages of history. The men who have ascended from the realm of normality and went on to be remembered for conquests and true Glory, the likes the world had never before seen, were almost always warriors with great mind's and a deep spiritual connection to their Gods and the ancestral traditions of their folk. A firm stance on moral ethics and a true understanding of social conduct is what separated and currently separates nobility from the common warrior even in modern times.
