Encyclopedia entry

What does it mean to fight for the Balance? How is one a part
of it, how does it make its way through all things?

Balance is the quest for equilibrium, the movement of all
things to the center. If the center cannot hold...that is the
fear, that the Spire is the foundation that all others
foolishly seek to crack and topple in their careless pursuit
of malice and charity, freedom and constraint.

Yes. But more -- what is the identity of Balance? Its face?
Who is that face, and what is its identity?

The identity of Balance is its citizens and its guardians.
Its citizens are those who are neither too cruel nor too
kind. Its guardians however must kill and save innocents,
must be selfish and charitable in equal quantities. The face
of Balance is the rilmani, the guardians. They are forever
walking the line, ever seeking to keep themselves in
equilibrium. Who they are is this walking, this act of
treading upon the thinnest of strands.
