	Hope for the Downtrodden: Eino can't stand to see little people suffer needlessly. No, really, he can't abide it. Sure, the North is a harsh place, and survival is never certain, but the Haslanti League itself is an outgrowth of tribal devotion of cooperation and struggle to ensure survival. There's a world of difference between innocents suffering in the face of a harsh environment, and innocents suffering in the face of human (or inhuman) cruelty and avarice. Needless, pointless oppression and cruelty, the violation of the powerless and innocent... it pains and enrages him deeply, profoundly, and with the strength of his Exaltation he will give his all to excise it from the world.

	Captain Niklas Holanti, Terrestrial Dragonblood and Vile Betrayer: Okay, maybe a LITTLE bit about the ringleader of the traitors... Bad enough that he tried to kill his First Mate Eino, and succeeded in killing 7 other crewmen who remained loyal to the League... but he did it to steal the very First Age Airship Eino's own dreams lead them to, the one he remembered as HIS in times long past, the one he managed to get flying again... and worst of all, Niklas did it so he could take what would be an incredibly powerful tool for the defense of the League, and sold it out to the GUILD of all organizations. He utterly, irredeemably betrayed all Haslanti to one of their vilest foes, for the sake of worldly wealth and power. Well, it could be worse, at least he's never shown much interest in those murderous, tyrannical usurpers from the Realm. That would just be the icing on a big steaming excrement cake.
