Treason's Price
Some would call me traitor for what I did.
Bael'Zharon led us to the edge of victory, promising mastery over all.
We believed him, fools that we were … and no greater fool than I.
I am Isin Dule, once the Hopeslayer's right hand. I would have followed him to my death.
But as the land crumbled, I knew he heralded the death of all.
And so, when he needed me most, I struck my master down.
The more we seek to control chaos, the more it controls us.
I learned this lesson at my cost. My treason torments me always.
It is my price, the lesson I have learned.
We must suffer, if we are to remain ourselves.
