Ragitsu Posted December 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Spies and spying. Espionage, misdirection, counterintelligence, covert movements, deceptions, eavesdropping, layers of lies skillfully painted over other layers of lies.These do not seem very much like virtues a (Lawful)Good-aligned Lathander would praise. He is a god of (among other things) nobility and self-perfection, a god who grants divinations and blessings which cast piercing shafts of His Blazing Radiance into truths cleverly hidden beneath shadowy cowls of illusion, into truths yet undiscovered within dark empty pools of unenlightened ignorance.One might argue there are times when spying can be justified. Perhaps careful deception causes least possible harm? One small lie might turn an angry man away from wrongful acts or regretful words, it might feed a hungry child, it might spare the life of a miserable wretch. But then, if small lies have such power then many small lies might turn a proud king away from war and conquest, it might feed starving villages, it might dispense mercy upon a hundred doomed prisoners. And great lies would have more power still! And many great lies could accomplish anything one could imagine!Yet spies are traitors and betrayers, and thieves, and saboteurs, they are even assassins when such is needed. They are men who can rationalize and perform all manner of unsavoury actions, they practice their crafts with secret and veiled purposes, leading themselves ever further astray from Lathander's Glorious Illumination. Spies and lies are the tools and pawns of lesser gods like shadowy Mask, perhaps also heartless Shar, not of pure and noble gods like Eternally Luminous Lathander. The best of spies are by their nature the best of criminals, they are not righteous champions who embody the Morninglord's exalted glowing purity of self among others. How pragmatic and utilitarian and versatile lies to others can be, but too many lies which can fool others can also fool the liar himself, how inescapably lies lead one to realize that killing one man with a dagger in the back or poisoning his child while she sleeps could be better than letting him command legions to lay siege upon a city and kill many thousands at the next rising dawn of Lathander's Gloriously Burning Gaze.A true paladin would not dabble in these darkened paths of the soul. Nor tread down such unwholesome avenues and alleys where he could expect - at best - to meet unwholesome masters able to teach him the subtleties of treachery and deception. A true paladin is, above all else, a man with true faith and a warrior with true strength and a champion with true virtue. A paladin of Lathander, god of nobility and self-perfection, strives to be even more than this - he serves as the finest paragon and living exemplar of only purely noble thoughts and words and deeds; he has full mastery and discipline over himself; he strives for integrity and ideals with unwavering focus on the purpose he serves to himself and his god-star, Holy Lathander; he is renewed by overcoming the challenges and weaknesses of men, whether these be found within himself or in others, and like the Sun he moves unflinchingly towards illuminating all in his path to true enlightenment. That which scuttles in the darkness is as far beneath such a paladin's regard as it is beneath Lathander's Orb Of The Firmament. Lathander is the highest placed and holiest of the Faerunian gods, He judges His champions by the highest and holiest of standards, to discard Him and walk a dark path woven by spies and lies invites the most grave consequences.
