Velyn is right. I failed to remember that the duties are fourfold, to Faith, Family, Masters, and all that is good. Perhaps I have focused too much on Faith and the teachings of the Masters, and not enough on Family and all that is good. Saryoni says that there is wisdom and self-knowledge to be found outside the temple walls. Maybe it is time I walked that path with my brother. Thank you %PCName.

Velyn was cursed with vampirism during his pilgrimages and tried to return to Necrom? I knew he was wrong to leave. It is for the best that Velyn has been laid to rest again. At least I have some closure now.

Thank you for your help. What we did was not murder, because his soul had already been lost. We acted in accordance with the law of the Temple. It is what he would have wanted had his mind been unclouded.

Thank you for your help. What was done was done in accordance with the law of the Temple. It is what he would have wanted had his mind been unclouded.

I must take a moment and collect my thoughts.

Thank you for your help. It takes great valor to face evil like you did. Please, take this money I had saved up. I was going to use it to buy supplies for my own pilgrimages someday, but now more than ever I know that my place in life is here at the library.

How many lifetimes of labor and lament will it take to seal this restless tomb? I fear the labor is done, but the lament continues anew. Please, take this money I had saved up. I was going to use it to buy supplies for my own pilgrimages someday, but now more than ever I see that a virtuous life is one of quiet study.

You came, but you didn't help me? Well I suppose you may have thought it was better that I be harmed than you do harm myself, but that would be a clumsy reading of scripture. I will return to the library and try and find solace in the gospels.

Please do not stand in my way, I will prepare myself and leave to meet Velyn in the tomb.

Please let me know when you have closed the last chapter of Velyn's story.

No, I know what needs to be done. I must heed the Sermons. I will act with the Grace of Valor and face my enemies and my fear. I will act with the Grace of Daring and not shun risk. I will act with the Grace of Pride and not doubt myself that this course of action is right. I must do this for Velyn and for the Temple. You do not have to help me, I only ask that you do not try and stand in my way.

I know what needs to be done. I just need to find the strength to do it. I must heed the Sermons. I must act with the Grace of Valor and face my enemies and my fear. I must act with the Grace of Daring and not shun risk. I must act with the Grace of Pride and not doubt myself that this course of action is right. I must do this for Velyn and for the Temple. With or without you I will leave and head to the tomb.

Please. I won't be able to do this myself. When my brother left I embraced the Grace of Humility. I know my place in the world. It is not out there, to be corrupted by the world, it is in here, purifying my soul through scripture.

Saint Olms smiles on you. Please close this last sad chapter of Velyn's story.

If Velyn was in my position he would do the same. As Saryoni says in The Grace of Justice "I shall be neither cruel nor arbitrary, for fair dealing earns the love, trust, and respect of our people". What is fairness but to do to another what one would have done to theirself? What is justice but to follow the law as it is written and passed down to us? Please help me enact justice and return to the tomb and kill what is left of Velyn.

No! Cursed to become a vampire! If only he had died instead of being made to suffer like this. That way I wouldn't have to lose him twice. His soul belongs to the House of Troubles now. He says he has not succumbed to heresy, but his mind is clouded with his curse. Velyn knows that it is the duty of the Temple to root out the curse of vampirism. Saint Olms died rather than act with disloyalty. His death would be a sacrifice, and if he were still devout it would be what he would want.

What? How do you know this? Thank the Three for their generosity! They have heard my lamentations! Where is he?

Adren's brother? He left to complete the pilgrimages and never returned. Adren hasn't taken it well. Before Velyn left the two of them devoted much of their time to their studies, but since then Adren barely ever leaves the library except to eat and sleep.

Yes, that is my name.

You've heard of my brother's disappearance? Yes, I regret to this day not accompanying him on his pilgrimage. I failed to embody the Grace of Daring then, and I'll always wonder if he would be here today if I'd come with him.
