Adamantine Arrow
Challenge is Magical
See that convenience store? No, I already know what you do. It’ll be
robbed in about a half hour, and it doesn’t turn out pretty for the clerk
or that poor kid pressed into being the trigger man.
Your Awakening wasn’t pleasant, I know. Neither was your Sleeper
life. I’m sympathetic, but I’m not sorry for you. Some might call you
scarred by the experience, and they might pity you for it. The pride
in your eyes tells me you already know what
I’m going to say: Scars aren’t something to be
ashamed of. Life is a battle. Scars mark you
as a survivor. Look around you — others
don’t wear their scars half as well as we
do. Not everyone can brave the Mysteries,
and maybe not everyone should.
Look beyond the Consilium, beyond the
Awakened — almost everyone tries to avoid
being scarred. Not us. We take on the
ordeals and keep the vigils — because we’re
strong enough, so others don’t have to be.
Having magic and power doesn’t matter,
just what you do with it. That’s why we
step into harm’s way. It’s a challenge, and
challenges are the only thing that matters.
I’ll save you a question down the line
— the lady depressing property values in
this entire neighborhood is backed by the
Throne. When you get to brass tacks, both
clerk and kid’s death will be her fault.
They can’t rise above the challenges forced
upon them, but we can, and we can do it
for them. Fixing everything is a long war, but
I’m going to win this battle here and now without killing
anyone, and I’m happy to have you along if you’re willing. We’ve
survived worse, haven’t we?
Virtue untested is worthless. This truth is hidden by a Fallen World designed to aggressively and insidiously destroy enlightenment. The Lie oppresses souls, crushing them under somnolent burdens. Beyond the Abyss lies the ideal perfected self, a concept that can only be embodied by struggling against the Lies. Everyone is involved in this struggle, leaving the Awakened as the only ones aware they’re embroiled in a universal conflict. Every Order practices offensive and defensive occult techniques, but the Adamantine Arrow internalizes the metaphor of eternal war as principle. More than that, they seek to serve as soldiers and generals in this war, fighting to maintain their magic. Arrows are the guardians and wardens of the Pentacle, warriors of the Diamond, fighting against stagnation and complacency. They typically hold a majority of non-leadership roles in Consilia and Convocations (and no few Assemblies), as community-oriented duties find fulfillment within their philosophy. Above all else, their magic calls for dedication: striving for a chosen goal against meaningful opposition. Mages join the Arrow when they want to define themselves by supporting others, learn self-discipline and control over their magic, come from a martial or regimented background and want to keep that ethos, or believe magic should be wielded with honor and responsibility.
