MediocreKnight, Marinerx:

I am pleased to hear that you are more than eager to join our Order and save humanity from an existence in which we are forced to recede. Never before have we seen such an influx of potential recruits nor dedication to protect humanity from this new foe. We ARE the Order. Guardians of all humanity. The roots culture and civilization have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is man the wisdom of our generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun towards which all intelligence blossoms and the impervious shelter, beneath wich it has prospered.

I stand before you accused of the sin of ensuring humanity's survival. Of attempting to protect humanity from its final fate and not allowing us all to disappear silently into the night. Think of my actions as you will. But do not doubt the reality that our downfall has yet to begin. We are the pillars that hold humanity far from the tides of ruin below. We are the wall, the gatekeepers of safety and salvation. We are few in number but strong in will and conviction. We will fight with broken swords stones in hand.

We will not sacrifice our humanity in the vain attempts of glory and honor. We will not fall to the seductive allure of power nor want. We will fight for a world where we are no longer needed. Every man and woman who fights for the future they will never see is the true hero in the hearts of man and will be held above any butcher or conqueror.

You who stand before me are the future of this Order and your children are the future of humanity. Ensure that they have a brighter tomorrow. Ensure that their children will never have to lay a hand on the blade nor take the life of another.

Brothers. I welcome you to OUR ORDER.
