[[Riyah Endforsworn]]:  I have no idea what its like to be a divine incarnation that's seen countless lives. I guess its not really in me to think about things on the cosmic scale; I prefer to focus on what I can see and experience and deal with here in the regular old material plane. I'm also pretty sure I'm only going to get one go around, unlike Riyah.

Y'know, she seems to be pretty happy and cheerful most of the time, considering what she's been through. I don't know if this is because she knows something we don't or if its some way of compensating. Not really any of my business. I do know that she has to work for a goddess, and not the most warm and welcoming one. I don't envy her. I've already had my fill of slaving away for the powers that be. Those divine lightning bolts sure come in handy, though.


[[Felaim Elswin]]:  I have some associates who tell me that working with Felaim makes me a sellout. They tell me that he represents authority, he represents oppression, he represents the very things we're fighting against. I don't pay much attention to these people. They don't get it. I'm not fighting to abolish the rule of law, much less to get even with the city watch.

Felaim is a good guy, in the best sense of the word. He believes in something and he backs it up with action. I suppose we might not see eye to eye on every point, and my methods are not his methods, but when it comes down to it, I think we're after the same thing; justice.


[[Dross]]:  There are dark powers in the world, shadowy, arcane, and infernal. They give birth to malevolent spirits who are a blasphemy upon the face of creation. They tinker with sinister compacts and work against everything that's decent and good. They are fire and blackness and hate.

Then there's Dross.

Dross is about as sinister and malevolent as an alley cat, and probably about as reputable. He's good company, and there's a nice kind of directness about his motives. Frankly, it'd be a boring world without blasphemies like him around. I know he's got some sort of dark secret in his past, but you could say the same about anybody nowadays, myself included.


[[Asheth Barkeep]]:  I like to think of myself as driven, as dedicated to a goal. I've occasionally been accused of being fanatical about my ideals, but I prefer the word "zealous". Aseth, however, is a better example of that word than I'll ever be. He's given himself over wholly to one thing; seeing every last rat bastard demon and devil destroyed, from the lowliest imp to the lordliest archdemon. Its an insane sort of thing to pursue, maybe even self-destructive, but I respect his desire for some sort of accounting for what he's suffered. Wrongs have to be addressed, whatever shape they come in. I just hope he doesn't forget who he is along the way.
