Vivec and the Ashlander
An Ashlander once came to the holy city wishing to challenge Lord Vivec's rule. He said, "Thief, your superstitious and craven worshippers bow to your will, but true Velothi like myself never shall. How can a mer who recognizes your perfidy ever obey you?"
Many of the faithful started up with anger, some drawing weapons, but Vivec waved them back. "A bold question," he said to the Ashlander. "Come, son of Veloth, and we will debate the matter."
Flushed with pride, the Ashlander pushed his way past the faithful to stand before the living god.
Vivec beckoned. "Stand beside me, that we may speak better."
The Ashlander came to stand at his right.
"Actually," Vivec mused, "perhaps it would be better if you stood on my left."
The Ashlander stepped to the left.
Vivec smiled. "See, you are obeying me, and of your own free will. Remain a while and listen, and perhaps you will understand why."
