20. Fortitude
A sojourn to the Misty Mountains takes a lot; a sojourn beyond them takes even more. It takes a certain kind of courage- the sort that prepares itself in advance, the sort that is present even when it is seemingly unnecessary, the sort that is found in natural deposit among a certain sort of person, the sort that can't appear in a tight spot and then simply vanish until the next crisis is encountered.
It is a high standard to hold my company's members to, I know this, but not to have it would be infinitely worse for us all.
