Raylyyn is a monk whose monastery is in Qadira. It is a new monastery, devoted to Abadar. It trains Monks and fighters as Caravan and Merchant Guards, as well as champions of Laws that benefit merchants. Abadar teaches that through Order Prosperity exists and it is not something shameful as long as it is obtained in an orderly manner. (note trade laws are things of governments and though they should be obeyed, some times they are chaotic or otherwise detrimental to Qadiran Merchants. In such cases Qadiran Law trumps all but celestial law in the orders eyes.
I chose, as Thea put it "Team Money", for the challenge of making a lawful character fit into the alignment and motivations of the Qadira faction. I love challenges. and since Abadar is a god of both law and wealth, I saw a great opportunity. Ray as a Monk still carries little weight wise, but he does not eschew material wealth like some monks do, rather he flaunts his wealth through expensive clothes, and rare or Unique magical items. Well the later he will do when he earns enough PA to purchase said items. he supports Qadira's desire to monopolize trade in Absalom, even if he chooses to work to such ends through lawful means. He abhors out rite theft, however deception used to return stolen items, or to purchase an item for a lower cost is not true theft.
I look forward to playing Ray at PaizoCon 2011, and maybe a few other conventions in driving distance to Boise.
