Many Priests, of late, have spoken of how one might attain Goodness by following their Teachings. Some have told you that you ought take up Pitchforks and join Riotous Mobs against the Nobility; others have told you to welcome Strange Children into your Home and raise them as yours; still others have told you that you ought Forgive those who have done you Evil, treating them as if they are Friends rather than Cruel and Wicked Men.
I say to you now: Goodness need not be so difficult!
For among the Good Gods, Cayden Cailean has set out a path towards Goodness that requires scarcely any Effort. For Cayden tells us that it is Good to drink Ale, and Good to share Ale with others. One may pursue this path simply by travelling to a nearby Tavern and Drinking their Ale. This need not be costly in Coin, nor in Time, nor in Effort, and though Cayden may be an Anarchic God, it is far more Lawful than the formation of Riotous Mobs.
There are many forms of Goodness that grow more Difficult the more they are Practiced, and so Defeat Themselves. For if a man gives all his spare Coin to Beggars, he will find himself Penniless, and if a man welcomes an Orphan into his home, he will find it more difficult to care for the Second than the First, and still more difficult the Third, until he is scarcely better than an Orphanage. But a man who Drinks Deeply will often find himself stirred shortly to Return to the Tavern, until it is far more difficult to Avoid it than to Enter it. Every day, such a man will grow closer to Cayden and closer to Goodness, until the sins of his past have been washed clean by the Pure Brews of Cayden.
