"You're an atheist priest?" asked the barman of the Lute & Pillage Tavern. "How's that work?"

The dark elf glanced up. "I put my faith," said Dherlieth Crieran, "in life itself, and the vast universe."

"But surely," said the barman, "gods exist. We had one here last Wednesday! Jabrilira, Goddess of Existential Midnight Questions!"

"And is she worthy of your faith and devotion?" asked the dark elf.

"Well..." the barman said. "Not as such. She stiffed me on the tab...."

In Life’s name and for Life’s sake, I say that I will use the Art for nothing but the service of that Life. I will guard growth and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what grows and lives well in its own way; and I will change no object or creature unless its growth and life, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened. To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside fear for courage, and death for life, when it is right to do so—till Universe’s end.
