Oghren used to be one of the best
warriors of his generation and member of House Kondrat in Orzammar. He married
a smith caste girl named Branka, who would later become a Paragon. Soon after
its founding, House Brankaabsorbed the entire House Kondrat. Branka soon took
her household, with the sole exception of her husband, into theDeep Roads in
search of the secrets of the legendary smithCaridin. They were not heard from
again. Oghren, left behind, became a laughing stock. He started drinking even
more heavily than he already did, making his situation worse as one day the
youngest son of Lord Meino mentioned that it is impossible for Branka and her
house to have survived for that long in the Deep Roads. Oghren considered this
as an insult to the Paragon and challenged his honor and killed him in a
first-blood match while drunk. Oghren was stripped of his house name and barred
from bearing weapons within the city, a punishment considered worse than exile
for a warrior. Oghren has spent the last two years trying to convince the
Assembly, or anyone else who will listen to him, to look for Branka in the Deep
Roads. Oghren also knows Gorim Saelac, the second of the Dwarf Noblebecause the
latter has thrown Oghren out of the royal palace a couple of times. Their relationship
is not bitter however there is some antagonizing. The rooms were very still while the pages were softly turned and the winter sunshine crept in to touch the bright heads and serious faces with a Christmas greeting... Louisa May Alcott Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart...filled it, too, with melody that would last forever. Bess Streeter Aldrich in "Song of Years". Let's be naughty and save Santa the trip. Wretched excess is an unfortunate human trait that turns a perfectly good idea such as Christmas into a frenzy of last-minute shopping.
The purpose and cause of the
incarnation was that He might illuminate the world by His wisdom and excite it
to the love of Himself. Peter Abelard, as quoted in "The Abelardian
Doctrine Of The Atonement" (1892), published in Doctrine and Development :
University Sermons (1898) by Hastings Rashdall, p. 138. Ach, könnte nur dein
Herz zu einer Krippe werden, Gott würde noch einmal ein Kind auf dieser Erden. Angelus Silesius, Der
Cherubinischer Wandersmann 2:53 Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a
giving heart, a wide–open–heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the
baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant
the pouring into a sick world the healing medicine of love which has
transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath
all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart. George Matthew Adams
in "The Christmas Heart". Christmas is over and Business is Business Franklin
PierceI have often thought, says Sir Roger, it happens very well that Christmas
should fall in the Middle of winter.
