Janet Morris
Image
What we hold sacred is honor, justice, and glory. You need not swear allegiance to our storm god, to serve with us. Fighters are among us from many lands, with many gods and many beliefs. Believe as you will. What is between a man and his god is theirs alone to say.
Janet Morris

Janet Morris
Image
To the death with honor, shoulder to shoulder, and no one gets closer to a Stepson than his partner.
Janet Morris
Image
These Stepsons tread where mortals don't belong, some of us think. They seek out battle high above their station. Who knows what powers may yet take them and their mystic allies to task, bring them their comeuppance?
Janet Morris
Image
Gods have bloody hands.
Janet Morris
Image
Go carefully, child of mat, where no mercy can be had, and let your faith lead you on.

No ethos, pursued without thought or mercy, is ethical.
