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.

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.

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.
