Raban smiles happily, "Frema, I am sure you would be a wonderful 
teacher. But I am sure it is not difficult to teach a spell, you just 
need to tell me what you were taught. But if it requires use of Sidh 
language then I will have some other problems as I do not know that one 
yet. I will be able to return the favor someday, as I have little magic 
I can teach you right now."

Raban answers, "I worship a neutral Goddess. The Neutral powers came 
about because there were many that thought the various wars between Law 
and Chaos, Sidh and Kotothi were destroying all that exists. Balance 
stands between Law and Chaos but may side against others. Elder stands 
between Sidh and Kotothi but may side against others as well. Neutral 
stands between everyone in effect and attempts to reign them in, to 
limit wars and maintain the balance of nature, to protect existence. It 
is a difficult place to stand, but most often we are called upon to work 
against Chaos or Kotothi as they tend to be the most combative and 
destructive. But the call is not just to fight but to heal and to 
rebuild if needed. For Bards it is often to teach against such violent 
acts as well. That is part why I do not like to hurt things if I can 
help it, but sometimes it is necessary. Because together they became a 
new alignment, they could also create their own magics. I can learn any 
Neutral, Elder or Sidh magic as well as my Bardic spells, which shows 
Bards are closer aligned to the Elder sides than some. But there are 
those once of Chaos as well as other unlikely alignments that have 
chosen to become Neutral, it can be quite surprising."

<Raban knows a lot actually due to memory training but I did not look it 
up for this reply, still should be close.>
