greatness has no bearing with regard to perceived good
or evil. No, it has more to do with the Renown one
achieves through actions, regardless of morality. Be
forewarned that the work necessary to become a Hero is
not to be taken half-heartedly. On the contrary, this will

your successes throughout Albion, coarse a place as it is.
Go now, and seek your destiny!

you throw it all away. Albion needs its Heroes
now more than ever.
Becoming a Hero of Renown means achieving
great things, and to accomplish less than
greatness is to have done next to nothing at
all. You must understand that, for the Guild,
