Nevertheless, the Kurgans taught me one thing above all else--a true Kurgan never gives up a fight, nor forgets who he is. I did not fight with all the fiber of my soul to rid our lands of the Tonner plague just to give in in my moment of weakness, nor will I let any say that the Kurgans will lower their standards, even in defeat. I will fight for the honor of my name, but I will not surrender my morality. Repentance means turning from wrong ways to a right course, but this is going from a wrong path to an openly heinous destruction of moral abandon.
I have made my apologies and restitution is being made. I am grateful that The Ringer is as kind and forgiving as he is. However, I will not disgrace the name of the Kurgan by taking upon me that hideous visage. I will maintain my dignity, even in my moments of failing. If anything, allow me that. I am sorry enough as it is.
