Hello. My name is Peekasso, and I have atoned.
Over time, I have come to think of myself as the paintbrush of Shelyn. I have created masterworks of the painted form in her honor. I have traveled to distant lands to apply my critical eye to the decorative forms there, and pass judgement.
Beauty, certainly an element in some art, is also represent in the animate form. Many times over has a vile creature of undeath heard the pronouncement, "You're ugly," just as my glaive crashed through her skull, roiling rainbow hues of positive energy collecting from otherwhere into the blade before exploding in her head.
But, for all the direction that art and beauty have provided me over my years with the Society, I was betrayed by that reliance. Perhaps it was my own pride. Perhaps I focused too much on some aspects of Shelyn's divinity while ignoring others. For is not Shelyn also a mistress of Charm? I did not understand at first, but I do now. I have transgressed, but Shelyn has seen fit to allow me to understand my failure.
And, as a gnomish friend of mine was wont to say at a time, "if you can't learn from your mistakes, why make them?"

The Eternal Rose's love and forgiveness are infinite, Peekasso. It takes great courage and strength of heart to admit your mistakes, reflect on them, and strive to move ever onwards. May Shelyn guide your heart to its truest form of expression, your mind to peace and contentment, and your hands to the canvas of life before you. If you ever seek guidance or counsel, do not hesitate to look for me at the temple of the Eternal Rose or the Grand Lodge.

Lasair, I appreciate your support and kind words. I will provide more details as I'm able. I have recently found myself, thinking I was clever, decorating my armor with insults to other gods. I found myself worshiping a fiend through my own failings and unwillingness to put myself in Shelyn's Lucky embrace. I sought to swear allegiance to a fiendish lord. I consorted with evil and identified myself as a neophyte of that fiendish lord. I threw away my glaive. I threw away my PAINTS!
I have much to learn.
