Title: A Book of Wisdom
Author: Wulf Runeweaver
For thirteen years I have traveled the lands of Sosaria. I would share what I have learned.
I have always followed the way of the warrior, From the earliest it was what I wanted to do. The first step in the way is dedication. You must train hard in order that the battle will be easy. Do not shun repitition, for in the heat of battle you will act from instinct and not panic. Do not trust in your weapons for they are only as good at the mind and training behind them, and the most basic of weapons is deadly in the hands of a master.
The second step in the way is honor. Be true to your word and aid those about you. The mightiest strength is in numbers. The most feared of the Champions fall to the determined efforts of a team. In aiding others you aid yourself. Be generous when you can and in the changing fortunes of time your generosity will return to you many times over.
The third step on the path is be open minded. Others on their journeys have learned lessons that may save you unnecessary pain. Anyone may be a valuable teacher if you will but ask. Pride will strangle you if you let it. Welcome the necessary pain. There is no progress without experiment. Some of these will fail, Remember you are never defeated unless you surrender.
The last step on the path is be true to yourself. It may seem a contradiction to the third step, but though you should always consider the advice of others you do not have to take it. The lessons they try to share with you work for them. As each snow flake is different and each finger print unique the forces which shape each person make each one of us different also. Therefore each persons path will be unique. Do not allow convention to trap you into its box. There was a time I tried to do all. I have found that I did not need to be the master of all skills as long as I enjoyed what I did. The most sure path to happiness is in following your own heart in the pursuit of your own goals. In this let no man be your master. In every phase of your development as a warrior there will be things to do with the weapons at hand. Do not be envious of others strength and weapons for you destroy your own happiness thereby. Seek what you can do, train hard and you will grow into those things and your feet will be happy in the way.
