What is good? Evil? Bad? Often it is said that light is the good and the darkness evil and bad... Yet this is not what I believe. These words are written down, since I do not feel the need to redeem my idealogy, but to perhaps explain them. For those I consider family, friends, allies.

The first thing I personally must make clear: I hate everyone. Hate focusses and hate is not evil persé. My hate shows me what to do, what road to follow. My god is Innoruuk, although i have seen to many who follow him, or any god, and blindly do what the priestclass asks them, demands of them. They stop thinking themselves. This I will never do - nor my sisters. We will not stop thinking, we will not stop seeking and understanding. I feel strongly drawn towards the father Innoruuk, his hatred is my life. But hate doesn't mean there is no respect.

Perhaps we Teir'Dal hate all, including ourselves. We hate what we have become or what we are. But we hate others even more - they remind us of what we are. I have found ways of just hating, and I have found something to contain the unbridled fury it may become, alconsuming. My best friend, and sister, Morta - bless her. She helped me in the ways I was destined. She helped me to find the ways of the assassin, but also to never stop thinking. Even more so, she introduced me to the Sisterhood.

Ah yes, the Sisterhood. Even though the hate in my blood, this Sisterhood is... how to explain... more family then those of my blood. Even more then most of the Teir'Dal. The Sisterhood despises the one thing I have become to hate the most: hypocrisy!!! Just the word of it fills me with hatred. Mistress Prowess, what a madcat. I have to admit that when Morta told me of this sisterhood and the Mistress, I spat at her and shouted "You? Having a Mistress? A Kerra nonetheless? Betrayer!!!". I remember the cold look in her eyes, waiting for me to calm down. She waited the full hour before she said something to me. Her words - calm and cold as they could ever have been - hit me harder then the door I met headfirst last night in the inn. She said to me: "Speak in a disrepectful tone about *any* of the Sisterhood again, and you will be my next pet!". I looked in her eyes, and knew she meant it. This intrigued me. Here was a woman I had seen at work. The torture, the pain, on all races that came to her hands, and here she said I should respect the Sisterhood, including Kerra, Feir'Dal and halfbreeds. All my life I had seen hatred, felt hatred, and all things done from hatred. I didn't agree with much of it, especially when I got more knowledge of the filthy politics. It is hard to be an assassin and not get involved in backstabbing, politics, religious zealots, hypocrits! But this doesn't mean I didn't try to get to deep in this, as it was the last thing I wanted to.

So Morta begun to explain and I listenend.

"The Sisterhood has but a few rules, in which I can find myself greatly. Prowess, a Kerran berserker, follows The Tribunal. This is not mandatory, yet the search of Justice is. The sisters seek out justice. And since justice is neutral, there is no problem with our believes that shape us into execution justice. Our means, our ways, our actions maybe different, but justice is impartial. Some focus on revenge - justified. This is the case with Prowess and her bloodsister Purgatoria. Prowess needs to contain her fury, and the path of The Tribunal helps us. Myself on the other hand, I have my own reasons to seek justice. My ways are those that strengthen my skills. I have hated enough, so I'm a worshipper of Bertoxxulous. My justice is handled by d]isease, decay and death. There are many ways, yet the end in justice.

When we kill, we do it to grant justice. Not just now, for one person - but for the future, the bigger picture. The whole of Norrath. This is also why, as The Sisterhood, Prowess guided us into the folds of the Truewatch. We will not be do-gooders. Not if the reasons our foul. The stench of betrayal, hypocrisy, and injustice are everywhere. If Norrath is to stand in the face of our squabbling "gods", we need to seek justice. Either we are prosecutor, defender, judge, jury or executor - we have a job in the big ways. Those saying they are good, or evil - all need judgement on their acts.

So... are you willing to use your skills, you heritage, you training, for the bettering of the Sisterhood and the Watch?"

I wondered about this all. It is as if she had spoken the words I had been thinking of so many times before. I hated the selfimportance of our leaders. I loathed the better-then-thou attitude most Qeynosians seemed to have. But a just society sounded like something I could believe in. Surely the father would not deny me if I used the given hatred, to hate injustice?

So that day, I let Morta introduce me to the Sisterhood. And as amazed as I was, I was also filled with defiance. Defiance of any so called law... who is to provide justice if the justice is tainted in the heart of it all. Neriak, Freeport, as well as Qeynos, Kelethin and Gorowyn - everywhere justice was needed. And justice needs a good word as much as a sharpened dagger. Justice works in the evil, the good, the light and the dark. Justice can be swift, slow, agonizing - but always expected. It is not my place to explain the judgement - I feel I'm guided to deliver judgement, with my hatred, my skill, my blades.

But rest assured: neither me or my sisters will execute justice in a way that will not be foir the greater good, this being Norrath and the Watch.
