We all started somewhere:

There was a time when all I wanted to do was be a knight, jousting, drinking and for all the world a picture perfect knight. That changed when me and one of the House Scions actually started adventuring together. What had once seemed ideal turned sour in my stomache, after all how could all of these people do such things when there were wars to be fought and bandits raiding poor farmers.

Long Years did we travel together Alenestra and I, we gathered a retinue after awhile. Ones and Twos joined us, fought with us, and helped us hunt down those who preyed on the weak. We knew it wouldn't always be so, eventually she would have to return to his families lands and learn more about how to be a good Leader, but for the time we had it was pleasant.

I loved her, never really had the heart to tell her so though. I was merely a favored knight of the family, and a gnome to boot, I always thought it would never work. Looking back I wish I had said something, anything to her to show her my feelings, she writes to me still. I keep those papers tucked away in my private trunk, I carry our banner still. Love never really dies, it fades with time they say. B#@@@@#s I say, I still hurt when I hear her name, and still whinge when I hear about how she was married a few months ago.

Thats why I looked up this calling, this travel plan, this I don't even know what to call it. They want to create a kingdom, want to take it from the low lifes and bandit lords who run the area, bully for them. It will give me a reason to be somewhere, anywhere but here, the letter will stop then. Oh but part of me prays that they won't stop that she will always write to me, even about the children she has. About the good she is doing, about all the small things in life that make her happy. Because thats is truly what I want for her, for her to be happy.

Its petty of me, some will say so behind my back, some to my face if they knew. I am fleeing from the world I know, with the people who trust me with thier life. Fleeing you see to get away from the pain and the agony that is love. We will arrive late I think, though I cannot be sure, possibly a few hours late, but all will be well. I will be leaving far from here, leaving to possibly never return.

I can up with a poem you see, I think it matches the situation exactly.
Beneath the golden balm
Settling on the fields
Evening steals in calm
And farmers count their yields
The bee is in the lavender,
The honey fills the comb,
But here a rain falls never-ending
And I am far from home.

May Abadar forgive me, for I know I cannot.

Tenets of Abadar:

Tenets of the Paladins of Abadar wrote:
Of all the neutral gods, only Abadar supports and promotes a holy order of paladins. As the god of civilization and order, Abadar recognizes the value of holy warriors in advancing society’s aims. His paladins follow the standard paladin code of protecting the innocent, acting with honor and honesty, and respecting lawful authority. In addition, an Abadaran paladin upholds the following creed.

I am a protector of the roadways and keep travelers from harm. No matter their destinations or goals, if they are peaceable and legitimate travelers who harm no others on the road, I will ensure that they pass safely.

Bandits are a plague. Under my will they come to justice. If they will not come willingly before the law, where they can protest for justice in the courts, they will come under the power of my sword.

Corruption in the courts is the greatest corruption of civilization. Without confidence in justice, citizens cannot believe in their countries, and civilization begins to disappear. I will root out corruption wherever I find it, and if a system is fundamentally flawed, I will work to aid citizens by reforming or replacing it.

I am an aid to the markets. I ensure equitable trade between merchants and citizens. Theft and deceit on either side are intolerable.

I make opportunities, and teach others to recognize them. When I aid others, I open the way for them, but will not carry them—they must take responsibility.
