<strong>"I can not speak on behalf of all who follow the demands of deities: each follows a path that is laid out for them. My path has brought me to many a place where the actions of the corrupt or the malicious burden others. I merely act where others are unable."</strong>Sigmund enjoyed this conversation.

However, today has presented me with a challenge. I seek ingredients that were once common place, before this shadow was placed in front of us. They are said to be part of a remedy that may save a soldier's life, and perhaps others' as well depending on the batch size. It's amazing the things we used to take for granted. You don't really notice it until they're gone."</strong>
