Fragments from the Library of Deekka the Druidess
Volume VI: Justice
transcribed by Thorin Strongarm
published in the Year 401 After the Cataclysm
Introduction:
At the time of the Cataclysm, there lived a druidess named Deellaakkanavaakka the Just who maintained a great repository for text of all sorts concerned with justice. Reently, brothers Speale and Lonnacker of Holtrot, well-respected miners and archaeologists, have unearthed fragmentary texts from the ruins of The Library of Deekka, as the druidess was known for short. Scholars have been working to catalogue, transcribe and publish the newly rediscovered texts.
Fragment from a poem entitled "Justice"
| Author: | Thorin Strongarm |
(circa 500 Years before the Cataclysm)
- Justice is a stern, cold thing
Whose only voice is the gavel's ring.
Justice can't see power, wealth or [?]
Only the truth of the facts of a case.
Justice has no ears to listen to mournful pleas.
They are wasted on Justice, like wishes on a breeze.
For Justice is as stark as the midday sun,
which, like Justice, burns down on everyone.
Justice is not constrained by law, tradition or king's decree;
It applies to Monarch, Merchant, Monk and Mendicant equally.
Justice may not be swift, but it will never tire,
For it burns forever like a heavenly fire.
Ignoring Justice is a risk great,
As it might result with your head on a plate.
So heed these words and be a man true,
This way you will have no fear when Justice is looking at you.
