A Somewhat Honest Merchant's Say was book penned by Hammeth Ilcarth of Telflamm in the early 14th century DR.[1]
“
Look to your priests and prayers and altars, for salvation comes from the gods. All aid, all beauty, all fortune and reward and plenty. It almost makes up for the beasts and bloodshed and heart-ravages they also send.
When red war sweeps the land and swords rise, is it not curious that every third warrior calls on this god or that, and swears divine favor is with him?
Yet the blood runs, and whenever one war falters, another bursts forth. Truly, the gods must starve for entertainment.
