Indotrinating followers is well and good, but there is so much more you can take from them. Give them gifts, complete quests and performing blessings for them and you will increase their Loyalty to you. Once they are totally loyal to you, they will give you everything they own. Watch as I show you. You, Follower, come back in here! The more loyal Followers you have, the stronger you'll become. I have much to teach you, but I am old and grow weary. Visit me at my home and I will show you how to harness the true POWER of the Red Crown!
Trusting is hard. Knowing who to trust, even harder.
Trust yourself. You’ve survived a lot, and you’ll survive whatever is coming.
"Acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path"
Proverbs 3:6
But I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred, and destiny is all.
Trust and respect are inseparable foundations of love, and without them it cannot exist; without respect, love has no value, and without trust, it has no joy.
(Trust and respect, these are the two inseparable pillars of love, without which she don't can consist; because without respect has the love no value and without trust no joy.)
