Nothing on earth stays forever
but none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
you're gone to the home of the brave

Some more backstory for The Exemplar... He was one of Adam's Ancestor's friends when he was growing up among the High Bloods, and tried to sway him from his rebellion. After the execution The Exemplar started to regret how he sided in the rebellion and the part he played in the death of his friend.... What happens after that I guess is up to our DM *shrugs*
