-Not devoutly religious, but more philosophical, ​the Brotherhood of the Swan's acolytes strive to see the true nature of realitywhile paradoxically engaging in ritual surrounding beauty ​and adornment. The Brotherhood also views fortune or happenstance as direct communication from the Divine, and gambling is a favourite pastime among the acolytes, even using it as a divinatory tool. Gambling dens will almost always have a Swan Brother presiding, or, more likely, participating in games of chance.+If you stumble onto the truth by chancethen you are both lucky and blessed.
  
 **Do you have any famous ancestors?​** **Do you have any famous ancestors?​**

 **Do you have many enemies?** **Do you have many enemies?**
  
-Eckhardt owes quite a few people gambling debts, and some are downright nasty characters from the criminal underworld. ​+I owe quite a few people gambling debts, and some are downright nasty characters from the criminal underworld.

-No!+No! Well, I've helped to defeat some vicious monsters to protect the town, yes. But I don't like violence; it gets messy and often out of hand.
  
 **What is your opinion of the Lockenport authorities?​** **What is your opinion of the Lockenport authorities?​**
  
-The Lockenport authorities are a necessary evil; they are tolerant of the Brotherhood of the Swan's activities and protective of their priests, but periodically require hefty bribes from the order to continue their enduring tolerance.+The Lockenport authorities are a necessary evil; they are tolerant of the Brotherhood of the Swan's activities and protective of our priests, but periodically ​they require hefty bribes from the Order to continue their enduring tolerance.

 Joining the fray were a horrendous multitude of beasts set free from their pits, a mind flayer and the homeowner. He turned out to be quite a character, and when we attacked him, transformed into an amorphous horror. Ideally we would'​ve loved to question him further, but our Goliath'​s magnificent plunge from the walls, great sword first, brought that option to a close. Joining the fray were a horrendous multitude of beasts set free from their pits, a mind flayer and the homeowner.

 +I can't believe it. Nevermind the dizzying heights of seeing two different worlds for the very first time, but the plans of the gods! Oh, if it is true, then I am having a serious crisis of faith. My cursed vision has seen a lot, and I fear what it is yet to see.
 +
 +Something is very much amiss in the realms these days. All the encounters we've recently faced, all of them seemed so dire, as if one misstep from our side could turn into an irreversible advancement of the abyss. I tremble as I write these words, and take my rest now.
