'''Title: Book VI: Honesty'''

'''Author: Garlan Trynthlas'''
------------------------------------

Honesty would seem a 
simple virtue, being truth 
and truth alone. Yet for 
ages untold, scholars have 
debated the nature of 
truth - and so I say it 
is the same with this 
virtue.

Truth is a relative thing 
- the orcs or lizardmen 
who strike out against 
humans are seen as evil, 
but perhaps they only 
view it as retaliation for 
an intrusion on the part 
of man? The catch to it 
all is that there are few 
absolute truths in the 
world, and therefore while 
one may be honest in 
their own view, it could 
be dishonest in another's.

Thus I would tell you 
that the true nature of 
the virtue of honesty is 
to follow the truths of 
the other virtues, and 
through this, one may 
find that an honest man 
need do nothing else.
