D&D Today: Part 10
The Journal of Gars Sithersay: Golden Guardinel of Garland's Guardians
Day 266
I joined the Brotherhood after my parents were killed. I wanted to stop the groups and organizations who felt they were above the law, free to do whatever they liked.
Over time, thoughts of vengeance faded, but the desire to protect the innocent and punish the unjust remained. The laws of Snatta and the rights of her people must be upheld. But what of the rights of those who seek to subvert our ways and impose their own? If they cannot be reasoned with, then they should be stopped. And what of those who follow them blindly, not knowing the cause they are aiding? Ignorance isn't an excuse, however if laws cannot be bent then our rigidness would be our own undoing.
The last of the problematic gnolls were slain a few days ago. Our worries are over, however the worries of their families is just beginning. Over two hundred gnollish women and children, left to fend for themselves. While capable of providing for themselves, they are easy prey to many other monsters in the area.
In a move I hope I will not regret later, I have offered the safety and protection of my keep to them. Seeing little choice in the matter they agreed. Maybe over time the kindness and compassion they are shown to them by me and those I employ will help them to see that our ways, the ways of law and order, can work. That personal gain isn't the only reason to help others. That even in their darkest hour, there is still hope.
