Hamdan: Leg Return

[Random_White_Guy]

Vizier Hamdan al-Hamdan,

In ritual prayer at the Temple, last eve at the Call to Prayer, did Lady Nasreen Shabani come forward. She had asked for guidance and of B'aara we asked. Her answer - An empowering of the Ashfolk.

As you have been so denied Wroth's justice, as you have been so denied The Protector's Grace, I ask you this.

If she and I are able to secure the means, and you and she pool resources, and we undertake such a ritual-

Would you wish your Leg returned, your form restored by B'aara?

I must confess: I don't know whether or not you mean to mock me cruelly by this letter of yours. If so, then may Urazzir smite you where you stand and reduce you to a puddle of goo and battered bones!!!

I have never heard of such miracles or rituals, not even in the High Temple of Baz'eel, nor in the stories of the heroes of legend. Are you a braggart in over your head? The Wheel does not churn needlessly nor without reason—you of all ought know this— the sacrifice I have suffered much to my indignation was willed by design. Do YOU mean to blaspheme this, as a sanctioned priest?!

Nevertheless, if you are earnest, and you do not jab at me mercilessly for your amusement. If this task is possible, and not a tinge of it corrupted, then my answer is: yes... what in the bloody hells did you think I'd say? Of course I want the full recovery of my person.
