Valeron Dushire, paladin of Marr, talking to a prospective paladin :

"I am Sir Valeron Dushire, leader of the order of the Knights of Truth.  If your soul shines with purity and strength, I urge you to join our order.  The might of Mithaniel Marr stands behind all who join.  Soon that might will help us free this city from the tyranny of the Freeport Militia.

"But what is the Freeport Militia, you ask?  Those fiends took control of this city long ago.  They are nothing more than a group of thugs not worthy of respect.  They follow the words of Sir Lucan D'Lere.  He has been a thorn in this city's side for too long.

"Lucan is a bad seed.  You see, I trained Sir Lucan.  He was nothing more than a street rat who was taken in by the Temple of Marr.  The priests taught him and found him to be very agile and strong.  They requested either the Priests of Marr or the Knights of Truth take him on as a squire.  Gygus could not spare the trainers at the time and so we took the boy.  The boy became a man, and a very formidable knight.  Then something went awry.

"During one of our crusades across the seas to challenge the undead the plague this world, the Crusade of Tears, we left Sir Lucan in charge of the remaining knights.  He did much good and the people respected him.  He was overtaken by power.  He soon began to hire mercenaries to guard the city, calling them the Freeport Militia.  And then his true downfall began when he killed Sentry Dillius, a paladin of the Priests of Marr.  His divine powers were stripped from his soul.  He was a paladin no longer.  Yet he and his militia now control the city.  They treat it as their playground and bully the populace. Someone must stop Sir Lucan..."
