An Tir Thrown Weapons Scores

Piety and Pride - two sides of the same coin that is the human condition. Many of us believe ourselves to be humble, full of piety and love for our fellow man, our gods, our faith, our families. With piety comes responsibility to our various beliefs and those whom we love. We also try to be humble when faced with those who are prideful and trust in our faith to see us through adversity. For this there should be a reward.

Pride, as they say, sometimes goeth before the fall, though this usually applies to false pride or arrogance. True pride in one`s abilities and accomplishments is to be acknowledged, for hard work and practice to make oneself better is admirable, and as such should also be rewarded, though arrogance, mockery of those of lesser ability, and churlish behavior is to be discouraged and will therefore be punished if your pride be false.
