The runes were not the problem, rather the lack of a strong source and a defined release for the excess of power in the self-powering circular structure." > "I, personally, feel quite the opposite on the subject of honor than yourself. > To me, one gains honor when one is not repaid for a task or kindness.

What I meant was could I look upon myself with honor if I presumed to inform you that you Must have instruction in the runic arts, and then did not accept when similar instruction was offered in an area which I sorely need aid in?" > "And, as for your question on how to judge a man, I would indeed say words and > deeds are a good benchmark, but there are many who speak false truths.
