The high justice is in league with the grandmaster of the Black Rose it would seem. Sadly, I must add to the recent regrettable and damning reports of the council of the Solamnicks. Take heart and read on:

A darkened tunnel, its walls covered with fungi, the the ground slick with fetid water and moss.
The tunnels lead northwest-east. A small cavern is south of here. There is a foul stench in the
air.
There are three obvious exits: northwest, east and south.
[b]A well-trained light-brown warhorse with a determined noble male half-elf riding on him, a strong-
armed foul-smelling male goblin, a massive quiet male minotaur, a massive blond-bearded male dwarf[/b],
a competent average dark elf, a cave drake and a highly-trained large dark elf.
The massive blond-bearded male dwarf, with the assistance of a determined noble male half-elf, a
strong-armed foul-smelling male goblin and a massive quiet male minotaur, and the competent average
dark elf, aided by a cave drake and a highly-trained large dark elf are fighting each other.

The highly-trained large dark elf swings at the massive blond-bearded male dwarf's body with his
black-steel sabre, but his dragon turtle shell protects him.
The cave drake strikes at the massive blond-bearded male dwarf's right arm with his jaws, but his
thick rugged platemail protects him.
The cave drake barely scrapes the massive blond-bearded male dwarf's body with his right claw.
The massive blond-bearded male dwarf swings at the competent average dark elf's body with his
unusual holy crystal axe, but his black chainmail protects him.
The competent average dark elf screams in pain as the massive quiet male minotaur's flaming crystal
axe emits a flame that engulfes his head.
The massive quiet male minotaur pummels the head of the competent average dark elf, his brass
knuckles cracking the bone beneath.
The massive quiet male minotaur cuts the competent average dark elf's head with his flaming crystal
axe.
The massive quiet male minotaur swings at the competent average dark elf's body with his double-
bladed battleaxe, but his black cloak protects him.
The strong-armed foul-smelling male goblin ducks beneath the competent average dark elf's attack,
then leaps forward, slashing at the competent average dark elf's stomach with his sardonyx katana!
The strong-armed foul-smelling male goblin's attack near-fatally wounds the competent average dark
elf!
The strong-armed foul-smelling male goblin swings at the competent average dark elf's body with his
sardonyx katana, but his black cloak protects him.
The massive quiet male minotaur thrusts his regal horns deeply into the competent average dark
elf's left arm, lifting him into the air and tossing his mortally wounded body to the ground in
victory!
The competent average dark elf died.[/quote]
It comes as no surprise that the neidar thane puts aside his racial hatred of goblins and minotaurs for personal gain. Despite their claims of honour, the neidar are too practical to pass up the opportunity for gain... no matter the cost... no matter the stain. Shame has no meaning in their world.
Despite the events of the past day and the shadow revealed within the hearts of the knights, I find myself taken off guard by how deep that shadow has spread. Although goblins are forbidden with the Solamnic bastion, apparently it is acceptable to ride with them in battle... provided perhaps that it is far enough away from the self-righteous eyes of Paladine... and provided the opportunity is profitable enough. It is hard to turn down an offer to trail the neidar thane whether he is a known knight-slayer or not. It should come as no surprise, but somehow... in some way...
Alas, better days have passed. We are left in places with rabble... with light failing, hope dying... new realities to accept.
Better days...
