Author: Dalner Date Sun May 9 11:39:58 2004 Subject In reason... My name is Dalner, the defender of the crown. I have joined in with the lowlives of Krynn, passed time with those who submit to evil, and associated with those who were up to no good. By associating myself with people of that nature I have tain ted my reputation. However I have a greater plan in mind. It was no rare accident that I laughed and shared ale in the tavern with those worshipers of the dark path. It is no rare accident that I appear not worthy of the Solamnic Knights. So so much shall I falsify people's hopes. My reformation will glitter like red hot metal fresh from the blacksmith's oven. I will show more good and attract more eyes with the great juxtoposition of my acts. Redeeming in time a great Knight who will redeem himself when men think least he will. This I promise to the Solamnic Knights. By the measure, and by the oath. However, I was lead to contemplate the word "honor" from my past troubles. Honor could be defined in countless terms: high regard, respect, integrity, pride, fame, just, fair, good, high rank or dignity. But then I thought what good is honor when your dead? It will carry your name into future generations but you will not be present to enjoy its connotations. So what good is honor, isn't it merely a word? Its definatly a challenge to uphold honor and in times of danger even harder. Most of us are not going to be honorable at every moment, but being a Solamnic Knight it is my duty to be honorable at all times without hesitation. How many people would sign up for such a job, of course I did a while ago. I thought my purpose would leave an indent in Solamnic history. However, as of now "Dalner" is just another knight. My conclusion is that honor is just a word, but its meaning is what should govern us at all times and we should try our best to uphold it. And our acts of honor will carry to future generation as models so they will not make the same mistakes we did. Hopefully, each generation of Solamnic Knights will be better than the last and their presence in Krynn more effective. So now I give words of encouragement to Kael, Reno, and all other new knights. Keep the knighthood in mind at all times and avoid the mistak es your forefathers made. Keep your eyes open at all times and the only people you can have total trust in are your fellow knights. Author: Dalner Date Thu May 13 02:05:20 2004 Subject Vrinak I asked for assistance from Vrinak but as we approached the outskirts of town, I realized that he was gathering various enhancing items from his bags. I sensed an assisination attempt so I decide to get first strike. I fell, however with honor. Author: Dalner Date Thu Jun 16 12:30:13 2005 Stamp 1118943013 To "all" Subject Holy Order Balance On behalf of the Holy Order Balance, I speak of our stance in the war. The balance on the face of Krynn has shift and is weighing heavier towards the evil minions that wreak havoc upon the lands. This war has crazed the Knight of Tahkisis and sucked our brethren, the KDark Order, into their leagues. The fact of the matter is, the Solamnics are the underdogs and need as much help as they can get. To minimize the evil, and raise those of pure hearts is our current objective. The Holy Order Balance is taking its position defending the Knights of Solamnia. The Knights of Takhisis should stop their siege on Kalaman, or be headed into deadly battle.
