Beset on all sides, his death closing in, a val'Borda made a truly noble and heroic gesture. His death went unwitnessed, and thus will not be described here, but the effects of his actions spiral out across the face of Onara.

All Heroes who currently possess the Paranoid Flaw (as of March 7th, 2015) immediately succeed on all Mettle checks related to that Flaw going forward, and do not suffer the effects of any additional Flaws they may have gained, until another event overrides this. (In essence, the Flaw no longer affects you on a regular basis, but keep the Cert as circumstances may have it affect you again in the future).

Of all the comrades that e'er he had
They are sorry for his going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er he had
They would wish him one more day to stay
But since it falls unto his lot
That I should rise and he should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

I take it that this is from a special cert and not from a general flaw?

That would be correct. There is no general flaw with that name.
