Tower of Brelyan, Conclave of Wizards, Rhydin
Par-Salian looked directly at Guerrand. "We will make an exception. Listen Closely. I'll not repeat what you should already know."
"Yes... yes, thank you," Guerrand said, his head bobbing eagerly. He leaned forward in his chair "Wizards of the White Robes, " began Par-Salian, "embrace the cause of Good, and we use our
magic to further the predominance of Good in the world. We believe that a world in which there are only
good deeds and thoughts would benefit all races and end much suffering."
LaDonna leaned back in her chair indolently. "Wizards of the Black Robes," she said in her husky voice,
"believe the darker side that all creatures possess is their most productive. Therefore, we believe that magic should be pursued without ethical or moral restraints. It is beyond such considerations."
Justarius sat forward in his chair, his left leg stretched out and twisted awkwardly, as if it pained him.
"We mages of the Red Robes recognize that elements of both Good and Evil --"
"We prefer the nonpejorative term 'dark side,' " interrupted LaDonna.
Justarius nodded in respect to the black-robed woman's request, but under his mustache his lip curled
up in a slight smirk. "Both Good and Evil exist in all creatures. We believe that to try to eliminate one or the
other is not only futile, but an undesirable goal. It is when these two opposing elements are balanced in an
individual -- or in a society -- that life has the richness we all seek. Wizards of the Red Robes use their
magic to encourage and maintain that balance."
"Realize this, too," added Par-Salian, "before you make your decision. Every wizard, no matter the color of his robe, vows his primary allegiance to magic. All wizards are brothers in their order. All orders are brothers in the power. Though we may disagree on method, particularly during important conclaves, the places of High Wizardry, such as this tower, are held in common among us. No sorcery will be suffered here in anger against fellow wizards."
