Summary Judgment Handbill

 

We are Summary Judgment. We come with thunder and war drums! We come with steely visages and raging howls! We come with much-battered armor and always-thirsty blades! We are . . . Summary Judgment.

We seek not the honeyed praise of bards nor the enticements of society's glittering rewards. We crave no titles, no appointments, no authority, no riches, no comfort, no security. We come with noses to the wind, as hunting wolves, in search of all those who DARE to raise fist or claw against the children of the True Gods, lusting with unbridled passion for only THIS: their doom . . . their demise . . . their END! We call upon all who are Warriors in spirit to join us in ridding Toril of darkness, corruption, and tyranny. Wherever life and freedom are threatened, we shall be there, unrelenting in our mission to CRUSH the enemies of our people. Whatever your weapons of choice, whether you fight with sly cunning, ancient knowledge, or brute force, you are welcome to do battle under our banner if a real Warrior's heart beats within your breast. We are Summary Judgment!

The Warrior's Way d d d d

Fruitful negotiation begins AFTER you've cleaned the defeated adversary's blood from your boots. Fresh wounds bring clarity and civility to a discussion. Violence may not always solve everything, but it's always a good start. Immediate, brutal action carries much more weight than toothless threats and hand-wringing. Surrender from a beaten, honorable foe shall be accepted. Lies, bribes, and compromises from an untouched coward shall not. A Warrior makes no deal with injustice. Revere only those True Gods who preserve life and freedom by embodying strength, valor, and honor. A Warrior owes NOTHING to the rest of the so-called divinities, nor their craven, feeble-minded followers. Be wise in your tactics, but when the time comes to strike, erase thought and BE nothing but raw Fury. A Warrior balances the clever eyes of the Serpent with the burning blood of the Wolverine.

Once joined, battle has only one rule: Win! Leave the concepts of fairness and nobility to the philosophers . . . they have no place on the field of mortal struggle , or in the decisions of a Warrior engaged in the fray. Neither expect nor accept respect from anyone until you've undeniably proven your mettle. Your words are naught but hollow sounds until you've stood firm in a pool of your own hot blood to back them up. Trust no one whose blood hasn't been shed beside yours. Your enemy of today may lift drinks with you tonight, but those who are quick to call themselves your friend when no danger looms have no claim upon a Warrior’s loyalty. Temporary withdrawal from an engagement is acceptable, if it aims to set up a decisive victory soon after. But full retreat because one is afraid of death, or cowed by the enemy's power, is unthinkable. Nothing is too strong for a Warrior to fight to the bitter end . . . either THEY die, or we do! The True Gods make us strong so that we may defend the weak, not so that we may exploit them, or watch them be exploited. A Warrior never tolerates the victimization of non-combatants. We train for war, so let us bring WAR! Fiercely, fully, and without hesitation. Avoiding bloodshed is a fool's dream. Perhaps one day a world of peace will exist. But it will only do so at the end of a long road paved with OUR scars and our enemies' skulls. Good and Evil are concepts which we do not purport to understand, nor deign to define. But that which opposes life and freedom is clear. We will destroy such influences wherever they may arise, with nothing but the most extreme prejudice. Not out of some idea of morality, but of utter necessity! The Toril of tomorrow will either belong to our own unborn children, or to the foul spawn of our enemies. For a Warrior, the former is the ONLY option, no matter what it takes!

Hear us, foes of Humanity! We come . . . for YOU. There will be no mercy. We are Summary Judgment.

Have you the courage to stand, and slay, and die with us? Come then, friends, and let us launch into the fray!

We are . . . Summary Judgment!

Our requirements to join are simple: d If you agree with our Way, and primarily worship one of the Greater of the True Gods, then you belong in our ranks, and will be accepted on your word alone. Welcome, brother or sister!

d If you agree with our Way, and primarily worship one of the Lesser of the True Gods, then you MAY have a place with us, and will be accepted with special permission, after proving yourself suitable. A Warrior you may yet be.

d If you primarily worship one of the Questionable Gods, then you would not understand our Way, and you are not a Warrior. You shall not carry our banner.

d If you pay any homage whatsoever to one of the False Gods, then you are anathema to our Way, and you are our sworn foe. We shall crush you beneath our feet!

If you have the heart and soul of a Warrior born… …if you would raise arms against the hordes of darkness who even now lick their teeth eagerly in anticipation of the doom of all that is ours… …if you honor the True Gods and have no love for those who lure the souls of humanity into complacency and death with sweet lies and naïve promises… …then cast your lot and spill your blood with US, Warrior!

We are Summary Judgment.
