Paladin's need Sir Beren

by Canaw

The reason that I'm putting this out is because a great injustice was done Sir Beren. A long time ago, Paladins were allowed to learn the art of stealing. Don't be confused, we weren't allowed to practice it...we were allowed to LEARN it. The thought behind this was that we would be less likely to be stolen from if we had the knowledge of it. Which makes sense to me.

But, the "powers that be" decided that we should not know anything about stealing. They changed the rule. And Sir Beren was caught in the middle.

Beren became their scapegoat and was told to leave the guild. He was told that it was his fault and that he was too "easy" on us. So, he left. He was punished for following thier rules, and it is a disgrace to all Paladins.

Sir Beren took the axe for all of us, and we all let him walk. Now, I think its time that we tried to rectify the mistake we all made by allowing this to happen.

I hope that all of you will think about this, and do whatever you can to make it right. Even if Sir Beren can't come back to the Crossing, I'm sure we can find a guild for him somewhere.

There's so much I left out about Sir Beren...I wanted to attempt to keep this short...But I do encourage all who are interested in restoring Sir Beren to his rightful place to please come to the Paladin meetings. Among many other issues concerning our guild, we will be discussing ways of possibly reinstating Sir Beren and righting the wrong that we have all done.

For those wishing to attend. The meeting will be Monday night at 9:30 edt in the East wing of the Paladin guild. As always, we ask that you please refrain from excess talking and follow the rules of the meeting as to insure a smooth flow.
