Way of the Warrior Saints/Saint Maemora

Legend

Saint Maemora was the second Saint in the Cataclysm. She was, at the time, the wife of Saint Hubbins, and his confidant. When he was away on campaign battling the forces of evil, she ruled the manor in his stead, with the same goodness, virtue, and justice that Hubbins was known for. Yet, Maemora did not cease there. She had much leisure time, and filled it writing. She is best known for her book, "Psalms from a Sleeping Mountain", a book of poetry. Yet she also wrote works of fiction, and other topics.

As time wore on, and the wars against evil did not end, Maemora began to seek her own means to bring her travelling husband home. Inspired by his virtue and justice, she tookn to the royal courts when he was away. She became a diplomat and advisor of the court, seeking to do justice and right always. She became a diplomat, and ended wars before they began. When Hubbins came home from his war against Gryph, Maemora was said to never leave his side again. She too became like the sun, radiant in beauty and wisdom. Finishing his wars and her courtly duties, they both returned to the manor, where she wrote, and he worked leather.

Saint Maemora is, primarily, the saint of literature and diplomacy but, to some degree, of wives as well.

Notable Scripture

"When words ring untrue

Their day of birth the list'ners rue

When swords clash unmeaning

Their wielders are not truly cleaning

The world of it's evil"

-Verses 6-10, "Purpose" from "Psalms of a Sleeping Mountain"

"Wind will come and rain will fall all year long.

But love is a fleeting thing which should be

Cherishéd like gold in a King's great horde.

Fear not it's bite and sting, but love it's taste."

-Verses 1-4, "Weather of Love" from "Psalms of a Sleeping Mountain"

"Speak truth as a herald of the sun which rises in the morning

Know how to articulate the art of words of heaviest mass

Be virtuous and bright as the first ever birthing day

So in the end without ill consciencs you can say

That gave your life, from fair blonde to gray

Without making yourself a horrid ass."

-Complete poem, "Be Thus, IV" from "Psalms of a Sleeping Mountain"

"Politics are things which can never be denied their full value, nor ever appreciated or understood too little. A virtuous person is not virtuous if they refrain from helping where they can; even in the place which we all mock as evil and impossible to virtuous in. That golden seat of Kings who are nearest the Father of Earth and Stone is not a place where virtue can ever be ignored, but where virtue must be firstly displayed. Virtue is beyond life and beyond all passing goodnesses of fads. Seek ye first to let the Father of Earth and Stone have his rest, and then act as necessity decrees."
