The Writings of Khaywolf, High Cleric of Gre'thor

We have all been regaled time and again with the heroic deeds of our warrior forebears, but while the way of the warrior is indeed a noble and an honorable pursuit, it sometimes eclipses the more esoteric and introspective side of our people.

What would the Empire be without the efforts of our more scholarly and creative brethren? We would not have Klingon Opera, that most sublime and stirring expression of the Klingon soul, were it not for great composers. We would not have the epicurean delights of Klingon cuisine, were it not for the efforts of our culinary artists. Even the deeds of our great heroes would be forgotten, if not for the historians who preserve their stories intact over the centuries.

We must not allow our devotion to the principles of the warrior to blind us to the importance of the more peaceful pursuits, for without them we would be less than what we are. Bear this in mind, and if your path through life leads you to areas of endeavor other than battle, follow it proudly!

There will, of course, be those who do not understand, who will belittle and revile you for your peaceful and contemplative ways; you will probably have to kill them.
