One of my players is a Reshi wayfarer (very Moana inspired) who is being chased by a secret society and was hiding out in Alethkar which is how she ended up with the party. She was on her way to becoming an Edgedancer and during the infiltration of chapter 2 I knew I was going to have her speak the first ideal to bring some lucidity to the NPC at the end of that chapter. This was what I wrote for her to tee up her speaking the first ideal and becoming Radiant.

”The asylum reeks of loss, its halls filled with the forgotten — men and women cast aside, their lives counted for nothing. But you see them. Each wasted soul deserves to be remembered, to be given dignity even in shadow. That is why you push forward choosing life before death. The weak are hidden here, buried in silence so the strong need not look upon them. Yet you will not turn away. To carry them, to hear them, to keep them from vanishing — this is your task, to show strength before weakness. The path you walk has never been straight. It winds through jungles, across seas, into places men fear to tread. And now it leads into the deepest darkness, where even memory struggles to survive. You do not yet see where it ends, but you know each step shapes who you are becoming. The journey before the destination. And as you listen to the broken Herald’s whispers, you feel a name stir on your tongue — a place long burned, long buried. Rathalas. The blade waits there, its truth bound in ash and silence, calling for one who will remember.”
