"There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless—boys and women—and I am neither one." - Greek saying

The Chant of Beard:

Blessed are they who stand before
the shaven and cleansed and do not falter.
Blessed are the Bearders, Champions of the bristles.
-Beardedictions 4:10

At Hawke’s word, the face 
Grew black with hair.
 At Our Sister's, ten thousand curses 
Passed her lips, 
A great turth rose over Lothering, gladly proclaiming:
 Those who have been bearding are the Saviour.
-Hawke-Beard 10:1


 Beards exist to grow on man, and never to be plucked from him.
 Warm and cozy are they 
Who have taken the time 
And grown the Champion-Maker. 
They shall be named Beard Brother, chosen ones. 
They shall find great appeasement here 
And beyond.-Truth 1:2
