The Will of Arcadius

(written in both common and in a foreign script and language)

I Ar-Khadesh, son of Ar-Mahdin, son of Ar-Ahrum, who was son of Ar-Dehret, who was son of Ar-Mirihaal, who was daughter of Ar-Khadesh, who was son of Ar-Kinas, who was daughter of Ar-Mahdin, who was son of Ar-Ahrum, who was son of Ar-Dehret, first of our rightly-guided lineage.

Do herein swear before the gods and the voices of judgment of my ancestors that I am of right mind, and that I have followed the right path to the best of my ability throughout my life, and that therefore I now write the truth.

By my hand and seal, let this be known.

*A*

Know then that I have sworn myself to the cause of Lord Pelor
Know then that I follow his path without hesitation or thought for myself
Know then that in doing so I fight forces of darkness and evil
Know then that I am thereby exposed to great danger and may die at any time

Thus

If it be the will of Lord Pelor that I may be resurrected upon my death, that I wish to do so, for only thus may I continue the path of struggle upon which I have been set. If it not be the will of Lord Pelor, then my wishes and the magic of the priests are of no matter and will be without effect. In such case, I ask the following:

Let my body be burned, along with clothes and other personal effects of little use

Let my useful possessions be divided in such manner among my companions as seems best to further our cause without me. If our cause has succeeded, or if none remain to carry it on, let these possessions be handed over to the priesthood of Pelor, who may do with them as they deem best.

Let the the medallion I wear under my clothes, which is a sign of my rightly-guided lineage of Guardians of the Land of the Five Rivers, if possible be returned to my homeland and to my family.

Know that my family may be found in the Land of the Five Rivers, in the province of Zakhemet, and in the district of Ideb, whereof my father is Guardian.

If it is the case that my companions have died with me, then I commend you, o' reader, in whatever time and place you may see this document, to do that which is right and carry out this will to the best of your ability.

Rightly we have done, rightly we do, and rightly may we do in the times to come.
