"What others call the Beast, I believe is a guide. One which functions in many ways, yet one of the foremost of those ways is the illustration of our weaknesses. Weaknesses that should not be submitted to, but rather overcome. For instance, I do not believe that the techniques of the Dragons would be possible if it were not the Will of the Almighty. It's amusing, I believer, that so many Dragons assume they transgress, rather than merely discover. Of course, that amusement likely draws from a simplified understanding of those viewpoints. Regardless, my point is that I do not believe the Beast to be what limits us. It is rather what illuminates where we must apply our attentions to better understand our Purpose and ourselves.

The delineation of each viewpoint so that said viewpoints could be engaged with.
