Why Did You Take Up Arms?

Lawful

  1. The weapon was the only inheritance left to me
  2. To answer the insult repeated through the generations
  3. To die standing, if it comes to that
  4. To protect those who cannot afford enemies
  5. Because my family died unarmed, and I would not
  6. The master foresaw something dangerous in me and cultivated it
  7. Because one has to stand firm where others stepped away
  8. To repay the life-debt incurred

Neutral

  1. To survive exile & dishonor
  2. To earn a living where no honest work remained
  3. To end a war that never ended
  4. The path forward requires clearing it
  5. I was trained for nothing else all too well
  6. No law remained to protect us
  7. Peace failed first
  8. The world respects the blade when it disregards words

Chaotic

  1. To end the tyrant no judge would touch
  2. Mercy without strength is a plea
  3. The refusal to kneel
  4. Fate can be resisted, if only ever so briefly
  5. Once the weapon was taken up, there was no return
  6. The dead deserve more than hollow silence
  7. To meet violence as equals
  8. To avenge the wrongs that could not be bought off
