Case

The Warden of the True Path's arguments would likely be rooted in his faith in Stern Alia, emphasizing the purity and sanctity of divine magic aligned with the Correct and Unalterable Way. He would frame his objection as a matter of preserving the count's soul and the spiritual integrity of the realm. Here are some potential opening arguments:

1. Moral and Spiritual Integrity:
2. "To call upon druidic or pagan magic is to invite forces that stand outside the Light of Stern Alia. It is not merely Count Amadis's life at stake, but his soul and the sanctity of our faith. Can we risk such a taint upon his spirit?"
3. Faith in the Divine Will:
4. "If Stern Alia wills his survival, then the divine magic blessed by Her will suffice. To seek power from elsewhere is to show doubt in Her strength and judgment."
5. Danger of Corruption:
6. "These foreign magics, no matter their intentions, carry with them a risk of spiritual corruption. Even if they save his life, will the count remain untainted by the source of this power?"
7. Precedent and Example:
8. "By allowing such magic, we set a dangerous precedent. What message does this send to the faithful? That the Correct and Unalterable Way may be bent or compromised in times of trial?"
9. Trust in Divine Justice:
10. "Count Amadis is a man of faith. Would he not, in his heart, prefer to place his fate in the hands of Stern Alia rather than in powers he does not understand? Should we not honor his devotion by standing firm in our beliefs?"
11. Sanctity of the Realm:
12. "The count's life is precious, but it is not more precious than the sanctity of our faith. To permit pagan magic within these sacred walls is to open a door that should remain forever barred."

The Warden's arguments are likely delivered with a tone of solemn conviction, appealing to the shared values of the faith and the responsibilities of the faithful to uphold them, even in dire times. While not inherently unkind, his words carry the weight of his unwavering belief.
