The Book of Honor "Dignity consists not of possessing honors, but deserving them." --Old Trinsic saying |
. . . The adage "There is no honor among thieves" originates from Lord British himself. He claims 'tis a fond saying among the world in which he lived as a lad, but, at times, honor does indeed dwell among the unscrupulous. 'Twas Lord Whitesaber, Mayor of Trinsic, who demonstrated that even rogues could amend their ways by following virtue. For Whitesaber once served as first mate to the infamous pirate, Captain Hawkins, and was certainly the accomplice to more than one coastal raid. Indeed, 'twas a band of gypsies that Hawkins, Whitesaber, and their crew assaulted and stole from them a tablet that would prove pivotal in the Avatar's quest to stop the gargoyles. When Hawkins' vessel sank beneath the Great Sea, Whitesaber and his crew retired to the mainland where they, for the most part, earned an honest living with new names. Whitesaber's leadership in Trinsic won him the respect of his fellow townsmen and he, in turn, learned of honor and trust. Thus it was when the Avatar, seeking pieces of Hawkins' torn map, confronted the mayor with his notorious past. But even the Avatar, paragon of virtue, could find no faults with a man who willingly assisted in a quest to save Britannia's people. Thus, the Avatar swore Whitesaber's secret would remain unspoken. The pirate continued his to oversee Trinsic's affairs and remains 'til this day, one of the most honorable mayors in the towne's history. . .
