(DECEASED)
Those who bear the brand of the great white lion have a firm belief that
the indisputable will of fate determines all things, both in the course of
a mortal's life as well as the future of the world. Death and destruction
are the inevitable ends of all things and people. Yet in spite of this
certain knowledge of destruction, the bearers of the white lion strive
with unrivaled focus toward whatever goal they have chosen, for they know
that when their last breath is expelled all that lingers is their honor
among men, the fruit of their efforts toward their cause. True courage is
required to face life as it is, without self-delusion or hiding. Though
the struggle to harden oneself against the reckless blows of fortune is
harsh and neverending, it is essential to maintain a proud indifference to
adversity as well as good fortune for the turnings of fate are capricious
and what is gained may be just as easily lost. Like the rare beast who is
their emblem, the followers of the great lion are set apart from others of
their kind who flail in futile anger against whatever misfortune time
brings them.
