[Dorian looked surprised for a moment at Ragnar's apology before laughing. Deeply.] You have, by no means, offended me.
[He nodded appreciatively at Ragnar's assessment. He'd learned not to pass judgment on someone based on their appearance, and this man was at least knowledgeable of politics. A useful skill to possess.]
Too right! If there are rulers at all, there's going to be power abused somewhere along the way. But then, people are people, aren't they?
Ah...yes. The Chantry. Well, no. Not all of them, but...from what I've learned of others, the divine in most worlds tends to stay in the realm of myth, rarely coming to fruition, or even worse, stepping from the pages of belief. Many things, though most likely told in inaccuracy, that the Chantry teaches have, indeed, existed, or do exist. I suppose that is to say the Chantry has a rightful place in leadership because the things our faith tell us are real...are.
