* '''The Imbalanced Flames (Artifact 2)''' - Given to Alaric by his teacher after he mastered the Water Dragon Style, this pair of red jade hearthstone bracers was meant to remind Alaric of the difficulty of being out of harmony with his own nature, but also a reminder that, just as he had mastered Water Dragon Style and brought peace to his elemental nature, so too could he find resolution to his inner struggles. | * '''The Imbalanced Flames (Artifact 2)''' - Given to Alaric by his teacher after he mastered the Water Dragon Style, this pair of red jade hearthstone bracers was meant to remind Alaric of the difficulty of being out of harmony with his own nature, but also a reminder that, just as he had mastered Water Dragon Style and brought peace to his elemental nature, so too could he find resolution to his inner struggles. | ||
* '''Reinforced Robes (Artifact 1)''' - The life of an itinerant monk can be a difficult one, and no matter one's skill at martial arts, sometimes a blow is going to land. While not offering as much protection as a buff jacket, these robes are woven with jade to make them more resilient to damage (identical stats to a chain shirt). | * '''Reinforced Robes (Artifact 1)''' - The life of an itinerant monk can be a difficult one, and no matter one's skill at martial arts, sometimes a blow is going to land.

# '''Why are you devoted to keeping this sub-House alive against all odds?''' Guilt, more than anything, drives Alaric to strive to keep the household alive. He was, ultimately, a failure to House Peleps -- first from his own arrogance, which resulted in the death of his younger sister, and second by joining the Immaculate Order against his parents' wishes, thus derailing a number of well-made plans. Keeping household Taric alive is one more way he feels he can atone for the sins of his youth. | # '''Why are you devoted to keeping this sub-House alive against all odds?'''

# '''In what ways are you products of the Dynasty?''' Alaric is a Dynast through and through. He has seen (and practiced) many of the excesses of Dynastic life in his youth, and his adult life has been devoted to the religion that legitimizes the Dynasty. Even in his protective fondness for the common people of the Realm, he expects them to maintain their place and will punish those who step too far out of line (that said, he has more often been the one to step in to protect the people from a fellow Dynast who has overstepped their rightful place -- to be one of the Dragon-Blooded is a heavy obligation, even if it also brings with it privileges.) | # '''In what ways are you products of the Dynasty?'''

*'''Taen''' - He is me, as I would have been but for the grace of the Dragons. He wears his stubborn pride and self-indulgence as a massive boulder locked about his own neck, and it threatens to drag him down to the depths from which we return only in our next life. Though the river may carry away even the greatest of mountains, given time, I fear that he cannot wait so long. I only pray I have the strength to keep him from drowning, as Taric once did for me, long enough that he might open his eyes and see that he still holds the key to that lock if he will but use it. | *'''Taen''' - He is me, as I would have been but for the grace of the Dragons.

*'''Medoina''' - I remember when I would visit home when she was a child; she used to love helping me tend to the gardens. Back then, I could actually teach her a little of the proper placement of flowers, stones, and water. She has far surpassed her old teacher now, though she still humors an old man by helping him with the gardening on occasion. | *'''Medoina''' - I remember when I would visit home when she was a child; she used to love helping me tend to the gardens.
