ROASTIE

Fellowship. Fire rising to meet Heaven, people joined out in the open. Community, shared purpose, unity among equals. Equals, buttercup. The book pictures a hall full of allies. You've got a Discord with eleven members, four bots, and a pinned message from you about tone. Ya roasted!

THE JUDGMENT

Fellowship with others out in the open brings success. Cross the great river; the superior man's firmness helps.

THE LINES, BOTTOM TO TOP

  1. Line 1 Fellowship offered at the gate, to all who come; no mistake.
  2. Line 2 Fellowship kept within the clan; there is cause for regret.
  3. Line 3 Hides weapons in the thicket and climbs the high hill to watch; for three years he does not rise.
  4. Line 4 Mounts the wall but cannot bring himself to attack; good fortune.
  5. Line 5 Fellowship first weeps and cries out, then laughs; the great army wins through, and they meet.
  6. Line 6 Fellowship in the open fields beyond the city; no regret.
