It seems the Solamnic's are as petty as the Cataclysm would have us
remember.  Palanthas, the jewel of Solamnia, is no longer the shining
diamond I remember.  The crime and decadence that infests the city
boils uncontained by the knights who care more for their own
appearances than thwarting evil.  The glorious Knighthood my father
spoke of to me no longer exists, in its place is a hollow and rotting
shell.  One Knight ruined my perception of the once glorious
institution: a Lord Knight by the name of Cormac.

Now the question of what to do with myself echoes in my mind. Over my
shoulder is slung all that I have left of my family: my father's
fire-blackened armor.  In my mind's eye I still see the beautiful
rose, tarnished and dulled by the flames that consumed my past.  One
thing pushes me forwards, a burning desire to bring justice to the
ones who foully murdered my kin.  It's a desire greater than myself. 
One I used to attribute to Kiri-Jolith, yet after seeing his servants
I find myself in doubt.

I've lived long enough to know that criminals are a dangerous type. 
The ones in Palanthas can be especially dangerous, and I'll need
someone to watch my back before I dig too deep.  I had hoped to get
that help from the Knighthood.  No other organizations seem likely to
help me in this matter: the rogues are as bad as the rest of the
criminals, I have no money for mercenaries, the conclave would not
even bother to speak to me, and the wildrunners do not trouble
themselves with problems outside of their forest.  But perhaps I have
one other choice...

All my life I've been taught to revile Takhisis and the evil she
represents, but rumours persist of an honourable knighthood that has
formed around her.  I wince as I consider the possibility, the armor
sack feeling especially heavy at this moment, but I know it may be my
only option.  I whisper over my shoulder, "I'll give your knighthood
one last chance father."  Looking towards the Solamnic's offices, I
resolve to find the Grandmaster and speak with him before I let my
path turn to "evil".
