Mortals of Achaea,
As you may or may not know - I have spent a time of meditation in the heavens, contemplating matters as they unfolded in the lands below. Upon arousing myself from this time of thoughtful reflection, I have made my essence once again seen in the lands of Achaea. Because it now pleases me to reveal my glory to you often, I received many request from you that you might have my blessing to serve as mentor to the young, and request of me some test that you might be given such a title. Here then is my test:
1) Are you dedicated to sharing your knowledge of this realm with the young and inexperienced for the sake of their enlightenment with no thought of ulterior motive?
2) Do you have the heart of a servant and will you loyally commit yourself to the honor and responsibility that comes in taking on a protegee?
3) Have you already sought out the young and done your best to serve them so that the desire spoken of by your lips is already reflected in your life and actions?
4) Do you have a strong working knowledge of those quests and opportunities for advancement that the young are provided with in these lands?
5) Are you aware of how to recognize and approach those who have freshly and naively arrived in Achaea?
If you can answer all these questions with, "Yes," then congratulations, you have my blessing. Go and be that which you desire.
My point is this, you need no "title" to accept a protegee and the honor and joy that comes in aiding the young and knowing that you played a crucial and perhaps even pivotal role in the life of a young adventurer that may perhaps, one day change the course of Achaean history! If you wish to mentor - do it. You are informed when new mortals arrive in Achaea for the first time and graduate - seek them out and help them if this is what you truly wish - otherwise, you may need to re-examine your motives for the truth is this -- There are far to many mentors in Achaea who are not taking seriously the great honor that has been bestowed upon them. Their motives lay in the gifts that the Logos so generously offered those who would sacrifice of themselves so. the reward for mentorship lies not in and such vague and amorphous things as "lessons" and "credits" but in a relationship build and a young mind molded to be the best it can be.
Do Justly. Love Mercy. Walk Humbly.
