>2 SUCCESS: Support appreciated. While he remains uncertain as to your true nature, the Chapter Master appreciates both your lack of selfishness in seeking Sanctum privileges and your genuine willingness to resolve the theological differences between the pilgrims bubbling to the surface.
>3 SUCCESS: The One True Faith. Cutting through the dividing issue at hand, the pilgrims are now more united in their shared faith than ever before. Petty differences of culture, tradition or minor differences in theology cannot change the fact that you are all here for the same reason, and you will march this Long Walk as brothers and sisters all.
