My Wrath game is finally kicking off at the end of the month and I am putting the finishing touches on my character. His faith is of The Three, Sarenrae, Iomedae and Ragathiel. He treats the three as one for his beliefs. As per the DM all game mechanics must only be granted by one deity though and I have chosen Sarenrae for that.
One of the final things I need to complete is Lincoln's prayer to The Three. I was hoping someone with a bit more honeyed tongue could clean this up a little for me or give me some suggestions. It must be 3 verses of 3 lines and must contain Courage, Honor, and Wisdom in the first with Conviction, Temperance and Truth in the second. I have taken parts of the Boondock Saits prayers, gotta give credit where credit is due. So here goes.
Ragathiel give me the Courage to stand against the impossible.
Iomedae empower my Honor to resist the taint of all corruption.
Sarenrae grant me the Wisdom to pierce the veil of darkness.
In my faith I gain the Conviction to stand each time I shall fall;
The Temperance to give aid or strike with absolution;
And the ability to see the truth in all things.
I will defend those worthy of it.
I will swell the ranks of the faithful.
I will destroy all that which is evil so that which is good may flourish.
Thank you! I am overall pretty happy with it!
I am curious if there are some better descriptive words I could use to make it even better.
Any ideas?
Iomedae empower my Honor to resist the taint of Chaos.
I will destroy all that which is darkness of corruption so that light of purity may flourish.
Just a thought.
Iomedae empower my Honor to resist the taint of Chaos.
With slang what it is these days, this line might elicit a snicker or three every time:-p

Considering your style choice I'd capitalize truth.
Thank you for all the advice! This will really help flush my character out.

I would love to add something from Il Duce's prayer, but I'm not sure where to fit it in.
And when I vest my flashing sword And my hand takes hold in judgement I will take vengeance upon mine enemies And I will repay those who hase me O Lord, raise me to Thy right hand And count me amoung Thy saints .
"Whosoever shed last blood. By man shall his blood be shed. For immunity of god make he the man. Destroy all that which is evil. So that which is good may flourish. And I shall count thee amoung my favoured sheep. And you shall have the protection of all the angels in heaven."
Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeaful striking hammer of god.
Bolded parts would be very fitting.
Could possibly fit in "Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river." In place of "I will defend those worthy of it."
Ragathiel bestow in me the Courage to Stand against the impossible.
Iomedae vest my Honor to resist all forms of corruption.
Sarenrae grant me the Wisdom to pierce the veil of darkness.
In my faith I gain the Conviction to stand each time I shall fall;
The Temperance to redeem or strike with absolution;
And the ability to see the Truth in all things.
Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river.
I will swell the ranks of the faithful.
I will destroy all that which is evil so that which is good may flourish.
