Sylvan Heart Forum

   Well, finally the "good" was at war with the "evil", funny how those definitions seemed to fit neither side well.
   The evil have become slaves with little will of their own to their dusty master, Abraxius, and the good were a joke, seeming to worry more about power then peace. Their leader was so desperate to gain new people that he was forgetting about those he had in, with the result being a loss to his guild. Perhaps he didn't need those that left, perhaps he just didnt care.
   It matters little now, war has been officially declared, and it will be open season between the warring guilds. People will die, armour will be broken, weapons damaged, and supplies needed. Time will be good for awhile in the repair business.
   Other business will suffer though, people do not build new homes during a war. They don't funish homes with pretties either. So even those staying neutral will have to adapt for awhile, to this war of the children. That is what it is since it is the children that think glory is gained by dieing at the end of a blade or with ones skull smashed in, whats left of their brains leaking onto the ground.
   Calls to war echo across the land, it seems that the citizen guard may be called into this vainglorious war. They are gathering together to discuss it soon, and chances are likely they will march to the drum of death as well.
   Dawn will soon roll in, Time to get ready for the stench of death that will rapidly cover the world. Time to get ready for repairs, stock up on healing potions and bandages.
   Funny how some would see glory in this, or honour, but then everyone has their own opinion of honour. It seems though to be nothing more then an attempt to gain bragging rights on killing someone. Thats at the best, at the worst it is a blatant powerplay to gain more control over others.
   They seem to forget or not care anymore that a balance must be maintained.  Perhaps it is Abraxus's control over the weak minds of the Cult of Malas that drives them to attempt to defeat the Sosarian Empire. Perhaps it is Manamottos lust for power that drives his attempt to conquer the Cult. Either way it is an attempt to unbalance the world and must be stopped as soon as possible. Neither side must be allowed to win or we shall all lose.
   This day will not see peace and balance, but hopefully one day soon.....

In one of the Sosarian Empire houses, a figure stood in his empty houses remembering the days when his house was filled with his fellow guild members going around hither and tither. He remember his close friends that would sit in the corner drinking their ale laughing at his clumsy acts he had done. He remember his king watching over his people on his throne laughing at the little children playing in the mud. But time had warped the Empire, the king had gone hungry for power, the Cult of Malas faught needless battles against the empire, and Smit had grown weary. He asked for change within the Empire and was kicked like a dog for sitting on the carpet. He faught the Cult of Malas and was again kick with all the battles he had faught. Years of war had caused creases to form on his face making him an aged dwarf. Not the young dwarf that wield his club and shield readily. He finally lock his door and walked out of the Empire in the shroud of darkness packing his Jack Frost cloth in his napsack. He reached his new home, a hovel a few miles from Luna. His wife enjoyed the woods that surround his home. His daughter worked on her metalworks selling whatever she created, and his son would go and hunt for food with the joy of togetherness. But he knew that his haven will be attack, his fellow Sosarian friends will call him to war. This old man was thrown into a world without peace and happiness. And forever lost in the abyss of the future

The days roll by. War is declared but there is little sign of it yet. Perhaps some chance encounters, brief duels, nothing worth report. Alliances and under-the-table friends are awoken. Smiths and tailors begin to pump out goods, prepared to fuel either allies or whoever has the deeper pockets. The balance is shifting. For too long the world has lived under the rule of the light, for all the preaching, crime and dispair are still common, those who do not conform to the Kings ideals are repressed. Perhaps the rule of Abraxius is not ideal, but it is at least no worse than what currently exists. When confronted by cult members, none have been able to articulate why light is prefered, only expressing vague references to 'maggot worshippers' and to that of a corpse lord. Both sides exist under the rule of a monarch, this leader imposes rules. What is one over the other.

We may not win, but at least we dared to try something different. Innovation and change have always been preferred to stagnation.

         Worry still grips many in the land, when will the war hit home? The hope is that both sides will realize that neither is correct and that they are simply deluded fools throwing children to die. However, the realization is that both are so blind they will not stop soon. Both are so self righteous that they cannot accept they need each other. Com needs ES to give them an enemy so that Abraxus will not win, for if he does he will no longer need CoM. ES needs CoM to give them the boogie man enemy to keep the people in fear so they can keep control. It is the balance that keeps things in motion and healthy, if one or the other actually wins, it will bring problems and tyranny.

       Some still try to us the war of light and dark as the justification for this conflict....that has fallen by the wayside. At best this could be called the war of dark and dark because whoever wins, the world will suffer at their hands.

To turn a blind eye to evil,would be the death to all,try telling evil war is not the way,you will meet the end of a sword blade..... War again? not the first time I have seen battle,but the warrior way I chose,never would I turn my head and watch my Brothers and Sisters die.There maybe better ways,but untill the ones who complain step up and find a answer,I will fight and die beside the ones a care for,and the ones who cannot defend themselves.

     What is this evil that you fight? Something you do not care for? What gives you the moral stance to tell someone else that they are wrong! Try telling evil it not the way? Who are YOU to tell someone what the way is! "good"...."evil" they are just differant sides of the same coin....differant outlooks on life. In this case ...Abraxius seeks power....Manamotto seeks power.....both lack "goodness" from my point of view.
     There is a time for war, but this is not the time. This is a war of Manamottos doing to spread his influence, to bring more into his family to bring HIS tyranny rather then the balance!!!
     Who cannot defend themself that you are  fighting for...I hear no cry from the babies of the world. I only hear a tired Empire reaching out to grab what it can in its death throes! Your Brothers die because Manamotto raised the Flag of War, your sisters die because he chose to create the environment that lead to their death. Do not think I believe CoM innocent in this....I think their hands are as bloody as well, but I accept their acts ,as yours, in servitude to their "master". Both parties in this war serve power hungry vestages of fading might. Abraxius will fail of that I have no doubt, but Manamotto will as well...and of that I have no doubt either.
     Justify your self righteousness all you want in what ever way you wish, it will not change the outcome.  Kevesta was correct, change is coming, but I think that both huge giants will fail in the end. I think the change is their death on the field, The winds of fate blow no matter how hard they will try to stop it.
     This war serves to unbalance the world, it needs to end and the balance needs to be regained.

( OK, this is an RP thread, keep it IC only. Having said that I will address one issue here. Everyone has an opinion and each is based on their own perspective. That doesn't mean it is any more right or wrong than anyone else's, it just means it is different. One person may truly believe one way and try to make it known but that doesn't stop another person from perceiving it totally different. That is life. That is how things go. I don't want to see a good RP thread about the war degrade into an OOC war. Any further OOC comments will be deleted. I have enjoyed reading the IC comments from all sides, please keep up the good work.)

Indeed this is a land of confusion.

However he's allready declared his allegience to nobody, and he's sure to drag MarketVale in this. Manamotto of the Empire has allready offered im a permament alliance with him and trade sanctions between the Market and Empire provided they go to war on the Empire's side.

Naturally with the town of MarketVale being a Market, he had to decline the offer of going to war and instead offer the Trade sanctions as enough for good will. He did not want to lose a potential client in CoM in the future either.

However. That poses a new set of problems from this war, as the various Merchant guilds and Townships are competing for the attention of the warring factions, and whos to say that this does not spawn another war underneath.

I do-not condone the death of others, But nor shall i stand and watch as Abraxius's pestilious grip chokes the life out of cililization, Already he has Possessed Eowernia, Gorn who sucessfully got his release, thankfully , and his trickery resulted in Damira's current situation, a situation thats aggrieved me no ends..

I will not say i will be proud of the blood i may shed, BUT i am not power hungry, and do not sit upon a mound of gold, I have and always will assist those who have needed and called upon me and forever will i continue too do so as well, it is blashemous that he uses the dead, too do his biddings, instead of allowing them too have the decency of a long lasting rest..

Abraxius has already threatened too do harm to the citizens of marketvale, His power is growing and i will not allow him too enslave another soul for his bidding...

Each is entitled too do as they will, And i shall never judge another for there actions unless of course it is too cause harm too those that stand around me...Those who's arms were not built for war, and who are unable too defend themselves...

I've already lost my family once, too the hands of darkness and i shall not, and i mean SHALL not allow this too happen again...

For The glory of Life !

     You honour life by killing? what type of honour is that? You are in ES are you not? Then you serve an empire that is bloated and doomed to fall. It is the way of things, the balance is the only thing that is important. Manamotto goes to war to try to shore up his control, and bring more into it.
     You claim people dieing justifies killing...but do not people die every day anyway? Does killing others put an end to that? if you kill enough can you stop death? What will you do with CoM and abraxius gone? find someone else to go after, till you kill anyone that means a threat to life? Funny, but you better include yourself in that list becuase you are a threat to life as well.
   The ends to not justify the means, the means justify the ends, if you resort to the tactics of your enemy why are you any better. Remember when you hunt the beast, beware least you become the beast to catch it.
(note to self...do NOT hit tab)
   If you want to help MarketVale, then kill the rabid beast that swarm the lands. They represent a clear threat, it is obvious that this disease is speading and contaminateing the lands, especially around Marketvale. However, I guess that slaying diseased beast, though an invualuble act, is not as "glorious" as slaying CoM members is it, nor as profitable either I wager.
    If You truely serve life, then think about your actions....Life is a balance....not "good" or "evil".....

I seek only too end the un-death not too put the living too an end, I only attack the living when i am struck myself, and ONLY then...


I sometimes wonder why druids are standing around when something is defying lady nature herself, in the form of abraxius, by all means keep the balance, But i am sure the mother nature herself wouldnt allow such a thing too wander her woodlands without a fight...

Manamotto isnt intersted in being the wealthiest man at all, he wants people too live unifed and as one, In an empire where every person has a right too what they wish too say, No one person is looked upon and mocked..

When and if abraxius is contained i wish too seek and end too the deaths of others, and try and bring peace too mankind... And How is it you consider me a threat too life when you do not know me, nor my emotions or intentions for one that claims too be of balance you are fast too judge me, when i myself have not judged you?

And As i already stated I take no joy or honour in taking the life of another, but will do so in order too preserve myself, and only when attacked first.. Also if you listened too my earlier words you would know i dont horde wealth and never will, I share my gains with those that need it..

Darkness inhertantly wishes harm too life, light inhertantly wishes too preserve life, at any cost..

War is war. People will do things that will bring themselves glory. Every hero I have ever heard (this is RP) fight for honor. They seek glory and honor. Those who are honorable become humble when defeat things. I myself is not honorable, i boast of every slightest thing that is worth for glory. Manamotto and Icemere seek glory and self-acclimation to kill CoM guild members and CoM members seek glory and self-acclimation to kill ES members. So everything boiles down to this. Whoever wins will recieve all the glory.

You speak as one that has a personal agenda, the balance is just that...a balance. to not allow some would mean that there was in in balance.
Where did I every claim Manamotto was declaring war to gain money? You even back up what I say...I claim HE wants to RULE everyone... he wants to CONTROL everyone...That is what you agree to when you say you want us all to live under HIS RULE.....live unified.... Pfft... take your unification and use it to plant something.. it will be good fertilizer.

Your Empire looks on others and mocks those inside it...perhaps you should remove your blinders and actually look at this empire you hold so dear. I know of one at least who just left due to being mocked, and ridiculed. I have myself openly heard this ridicule, so if you wish to deny it you are either mistaken or blind.

Manamotto wishes control, he wishes to unbalance the world, he wishes to dominate as Abraxious...HE is NO better then that dusty excuse for a lord.

I clearly explained how you are a threat to life.... You choose to alter the balance, you seek to destroy something, instead of living along side it. Every creature has the right to defend itself, although many fail. That is the way of life, and the balance. You however seek to destroy that which may or may not be a threat to you. You seek to promote that which would upset the balance.

I ask you again then...Why attack CoM? instead of the Rabid beast that are spreading disease and are a real threat to those you claim to hold dear?

You do not consider forcing others to obey your lord harmful to life? You do not feel that enforced control is an un-natural abjuration?

Light and dark.... you are wrong in my opinion... They are just perspectives....You can feel better about yourself if you want to claim that the light protects life at any cost... but what is the result of that..... A world with no one dieing would be a world over run...How would most animals eat? even some plants consume creatures to live

So blindly support light is nothing less then as dangerous as supporting what you claim to be the dark. Both are destructive and represent and extreme view that simply does not work for the world. It is the balance of things that represent health, and well-being.

It is more likely that a Druid would understand that balance must reign, however, I have heard that there are "dark" druids, and "good" ones as well. They are as much an abjuration of nature as you are... They have forgotten that nature is balance. It is the middle of the road...not an extreme. To embrace life you must embrace that death happens too... You choose to ignore that and to fight death instead.

The balance must be maintained and this silly war of petty tyrants threatens that,  and for what? so some may lay claim to controlling others? So that some may sport a new head in their yard? Bah..... You fight with poor reason, you fight to place Manamotto on a higher throne then he sits now. Plain and simple.

I judge actions...You fight to promote Manamotto. it doesn't matter if you admit it or not, the actions are the same. If you feel I have a poor opinion of you for that... You are right. I am sorry, but supporting this war for ambition and power does not make you noble or glorious in my opinion.


This War represent nothing more then a power play....Two forces that wish to dominate the world by hoping to eliminating their rival. If you see any other purpose, you are not looking close enough. Placing your tyrant on the throne of the world is no differant then placing Abraxius on it. If you support life...then support freedom, and the balance.

I am sorry smit, But i seek nothing from this, nothing but too see an end too the misery brought unto people, Killing CoM isnt what i want, I want too end Abraxius, Killing another living being bring no pleasure at all *lowers head*

I ask you Mal, Have you spoken too manamotto himself too see what he wishes?, I think not.... He's upset at the perception that is being thrown at him, He seeks too rule NO-ONE, he does not rule me nor any member in the guild, we are treat as an equal, and If the one you speak of being ridicualled is Smit then i have nothing to do with such a thing, I have and always will treat him as an equal..

Abraxius is a threat too me, I wouldnt like too see the faces of my now dead family and clan raise from the ground too take arms against me, As i am sure you wouldnt want your family doing the same?,  And as for the war with CoM, I have yet too shed any of there blood despite meeting a few of there members in magincia, i didnt even as much as give them a wrong look either...

I do not force anything upon anyone, i never have and NEVER WILL, How can you judge me so harshly, your judging a concensus, instead of the being that is I !

I have never once provoked/harmed anyone or thing that has not first harmed me, The bitterness in your tongue and the attitude showed towards me, isnt that of someone that seeks balance, for i have done nothing too you, in anyway at all, so if you choose too judge me, then one must look inside and judge himself...

I dont  seek too dodge death, My time will come, as i am sure it'll come too all of us, it is the cycle of nature that dictates so... What abraxius is isnt dead nor is it alive, it is an abomination of nature, and the balance.... Untill his arrival ES and CoM hadnt even a simple thought of waring one another...

I fight too end this abomination not too promote manamotto, as do we all in the empire..

And i am yet too fight any of Abraxius's kind, or CoM... where as abraxius has already hurt and harmed others... yet your blind too point this out, instead prefering too pick at me, and judge.. Again you do not know me, as i do not know you, and just as i do not judge you, you should not judge me...

Heh.

I find it funny at the argument over the morality and Ethics associated with Good, Bad, or Neutrality, and the underlying factor over whether it upsets the balance or not.

However, there is a vast difference in the argument over the Rabid Animals that are infecting my town and dozens of other locations, and whether or not Undead will destroy some sort of supposed balance when they are two different things entirely.

While I agree in a balance of Good and Evil, and how nature see's it in that way, I do know that Nature does not intend for the dead to come back. If that was the cause, then whos left to fear death when there isn't death anymore? Therefore, I can agree with ES on the cause of ridding the world of an unnatural state of existence.

As far as the rabid animals of the world, that is a shift in balance of nature itself. Animals simply do not attack unless provoked or hungry, and I do not know about you, but bovines attacking while walking down the road does not constitute hunger (they eat grass) nor provocation (alls I did was open my front door!)

Instead, what we are arguing about is politics, pure and simple.

I have asked you questions that you refuse to answer, but I will answer yours. No, I have not, I have seen his actions, and that is enough!

If He is upset, perhaps he should rethink his actions! He seeks to extend his reign of control....YOU SAID THAT!!! he wishes to unify everyone...you already have my opinion of that.


You claim I am angry with you for no cuase....Do you serve Manamotto? Then I have cuase! Do you seek to wipe out "evil"? then I have cuase! by your own words you seek to upset the balance in favour of your lord Manamotto, and that is Cuase as well.

Manamotto is no differant then Abraxius to me, Do you need to speak to him to have an opinion. It is funny that you want understanding, but yet are unwilling to extend that to living side by side with those you claim are evil.

Perhaps you are too cuaght up in grief to see how you are being used to increase Manamottos rule. I am sorry for your loss, but as I have said we all die at some point, that is the way of things.

You are forcing your morality upon CoM, you would force your morals on me as well....You want to "unify" all ....that includes me and I do not care to be unified. SO YOU HAVE AND DO ATTEMPT TO FORCE something on someone!!!!!

I judge you by your actions, as I say again....your actions. You serve a tyrant that is bent on altering the world, that is enough to judge you harshly.

You claim to have done nothing to me, you are wrong. Dead Wrong, you are trying to put MAnamotto in power, you are attempting to unbalance the world, you are attempting to force me to live the way YOU think I should live. How much more do I need to be bitter at you for? That is already enough that you will KILL, when I am simply hurting your feelings of self worth??? gosh I guess telling you that you are wrong is worse then driving my sword in your gullet and leaving you to die in a ditch.

If you fight in this war Icemere, then you do not fight to defeat Abraxius, you fight to raise Manamotto to a higher throne then he deserves. Follow blindly if you wish, it will not change the result. Manamotto is using the Empire to increase its size, he wants to add more to his family ( as he puts it)

Let me say it again.. I say that your wish to rid the world of evil, and to promote Manamotto is as much and abomination as CoM's wish to place abraxius in power! It is only through balance and moderation that the world will thrive. Com...ES ... It matters not ..down their paths lie stagnation and death of spirit.

And as to smit.... I have seen remarks made on open chat, I have heard comments made when he is not there.... You may have never said any, and in truth I doubt you did, but that does NOT mean that manamotto does not know. Actually, it is my understanding that it was Manamottos actions that lead directly to Smits leaving the Empire.


O and as to Manamottos being upset.....Does he always send his Guardian to do his speaking? Not that it matters..let him speak his piece his actions and declaration of war is more then enough to show his desires.


Enough of this....You are blind to the balance, I feel sorry for you, not anger. You deserve pity for what has happened to your family and that it has blinded you. You do what you feel you need to do...but remimber that not all share your view....and some will beforced to take arms agaisnt you if you threaten the balance enough.

You claim to want to fight "evil", and it is a good intention, however it is an extreme position, and as well....good intentions mean nothing more then that. How does that phrase go? the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions......



I disagree about the dead roaming the world, they are a tool the same as you take the earth ore and turn it in to weapons. Tell me the differance?
Your right there is a differance....rabies is a far deadlier foe then CoM, but its not as glorious to kill a cow as it is to take a head of kevesta is it. Plus those cows carry little gold....
  SO with rabid animals running around, WHY would manamotto decide to declare war and take focus from the real problem. I do not agree with using the dead as a tool, but it is no more un-natural then your use of metal Rease.
Umm, well since politics is human interaction....then I guess yes since we are talking about war. I tried several times to ask Icemere about the rabid animals...but he doesnt seem to care about them in the least.

Har, my own use of metal is about as natural as me taking a crap in the middle of the woods. Its there in rock, and nature made it specifically for a purpose. If she never intended for sapient beings to not work with what she provided, then all we would have is rock and dirt.

However, things die and are to remain dead. That is the intention of death. The undead are, however, no more a tool than my sword, but at least I don't have to defy nature or any balance anything to make my sword or to weild it.

However, I do not agree with your version of balance. I thank you for coming to MarketVales rescue on account of the rabid animals, but it takes more than a feeling or wishes of everything coexisting together peacefully. It won't happen, and never has been known to happen. Balance only comes in equals. For every good, rightous person out there, there is an opposite evil and malacious person, and the current war is only another battle that has raged for eons. No side will end out on top, I can assure you. The balance will always remain no matter who wins.

So I say let us all calm down, especially since none of us are even on opposing sides to begin with,

      Wow..you eat metal? Your body processes metal? No sir, you do not...and your use of metal is as un-natural as as necromancers use of dead bodies. At best you MIGHT be able to argue that the necro dishonours the dead, but that too is simple a perception, a view point and a opinion. You do have to defy nature to make that sword, you need to heat the metal to purify it, then you need to heat it and beat it into submission until it is in the shape you want. That is altering nature....under your logic nature should have provided sword already formed if you want to claim that its not un-natural. Or it could be argues that nature DOES provide the body for the necro since everything dies... its just material waiting to be used.

I think you are mistaken in what you think of as a balance. The balance is a flux and flow of people and actions, this war threatens it becuase of the scale, and the desire to control the other side. But I agree and have already stated that niether side will win, this is the start of the fall of both.

     That does not change the fact that Manamotto and CoM, both wish to throw the balance out of position. It has been openly stated from members of both at various times.

     I know people will never live side by side, but the scale of this war is not good. That is my concern, and I know you do not share this concern. Most of the arguement here has been simply due to ES people trying to justify their war, and their rational is lacking in my opinion. :) but they are welcome to it, I just think it will fail them in the end. As you note, it is funny that CoM is absent from the conversation. Perhaps they do not want this war......
      Its interesting that you feel ES is correct, but yet are selling to CoM....Now that, if I were ES, I would be questioning  ;) CoM might want to be checking the quality of their goods they aquire from you as well.... Perhaps you are not as neutral as you claim? could you be delivering defective goods to CoM to help insure the Empires Victory?, Should the Empire shun your goods since you also service their direct enemy they are in open war with?
     
  Do not confuse me to be on either of those sides Rease... I am not. I will not support either side, I think they are children wanting more then they should have. Do not think me upset either, I am not....I am giving my opinion, and thoughts. Frustrated at times by blind nobles that think glory comes from a head on a stick, but not Upset :)  I do feel though that there is no reason to argue if you are not going to engage in your side.

I am choosing to stay out of this little tete-a-tete since I generally have more important things to do with my time than waste it with useless banter on subjects that make no difference one way or the other.  Feel free to argue amongst yourself, I probably wont be checking this thread again in any depth.

Obviously I am posting OOC.

  OK, this is the last and final warning. I have deleted all OOC comments. I do not want to have to do it again. I will simply lock the topic or delete it. This is not a place for debating, taking cheap shots, or anything else other than posting IC about the war and the situation it has brought about.

Thank you for your consideration.

Fenfyre stands looking over her peaceful farm with tears streaming from her eyes....

The War has done much damage to the balance of the land. The anger of the people has changed even the nature of the animals she once called her friends.
When entering meeting halls and taverns all conversation is on what is right, what is best for the people... and she is torn.

Her heart cries out against the corruptness of Abraxius and COM, but is unsure of the intentions of ES and it's leaders (many are good and just men and women, but Honorable intentions are oftentimes lost in the heat of War). She cried when Market Vale was attacked, though it seems so long ago now, and her heart aches that her beloved home could always come next (even with neutrality a way of life here).

"I must work on the problem with the once peaceful animals of this land, and leave War to those that live and breathe it." She sighs as she walks away from the fields, hoping they will always remain untouched by War......

Mal i am no pompous noble, I was a barbarian, that was bread for war, who had too edure the torture of watching his family tore too shreds by the evils of my home lands while those who claimed balance just ushered and watched in the comforts of there havens, I was left too fight for all that i have now, i wandered many years being rejected by many society's including those of the so called 'balance', who stated it was natures way that i had too suffer so, as helping would unintentionally cause a tip in the balance in the future?


Have you ever thought that you views on the balance are not what others want too?, and that you too force the words of the balance down there throats that it takes a brave individual too break the mould, are you afraid that the comforts you enjoy are too be torn assunder?, and that you may have too for once defend that which you believe in?, As for the rabid attacks on marketvale... This hadnt ever been mentioned too me by anyone within or out of the guild, I dont not have the powers too oversee everything that goes on in the world i am afterall mortal, Unlike Abraxius...

I never once stated that Manamotto wanted too control anyone, I'd like you too point where i stated such a thing?, what was stated is that manamotto would like too have a unifed nation, but he's made too attempt too swallow marketvale or CoM, his war is aimed at ABRAXIUS and if you'd listen for a second you'd have already heard me state this many MANY times...

Untill the arrival of Abraxius ES hadnt once attempted too Strike out nor convert CoM, With CoM's stance with Abraxius it has forced our hands as we cannot get too the source that we want without being attacked by CoM...

I AM NOT trying too put manamotto into power at all, i have stated this already... yet again you choose too blindly ignore my words and instead go on the offensive with me, I have stated my intentions too you and that is too rid the world of abraxius, not com or anyone else for that matter..

You speak with so much hatred of manamotto and yet you do not know him at all, he seeks too bring no ill harm too anyone, I am wondering if your hatred is brought too the surface by a personal issue you've yet too disclose, for you speak of him as a true blood enemy...

As for the situation of smit i would suggest finding the correct answers before circulating rumours of what you do not know, it is rumour mills that make things that was once nothing but a petty argument turn into a full blown war....

As for asking me about the animals, you told me a rabid beast had attacked there lands, which was the first of that news for me too hear, I cannot comment on something i didnt even know about can I?

Your comments are not aimed at the 'good' but at individuals which isnt really fair, I've never once judged you or your intentions, nor have i ever told you what you should do and how you should live, it is YOU that has done this too me, and not the other way around, I wish for peace as much as you, but can you honestly say the balance would have remained should Abraxius grow in power?, and i ask you would you speak so harsly of him and his followers?, In the same way that you have publically attempted too hang me out too dry, if your looking for a scapegoat... LOOK ELSEWHERE !...

I hope you find the balance in what you want, And i say this wholeheartedly, I respect your opinion, even if what you have forcefully accused me of is unfair, everyone has an opinion, if nature didnt want mankind too have one we wouldnt have been given a brain too decide one with !

Gelmir Anwamane sits alone in his church corridor, a single tear rolling down his cheek. He has just received word that Abraxius plans to ready his dark forces within the coming days...The war will be monsterous Many will perish, Some even turned to the dark forces of Abraxius. Gelmir hopes that the enchantments placed around his church will be enough to keep the evil's at bay. Will the Town of MarketVale be able to ward off the darkened ones. Gelmir ponders this as the church doors swing open breaking off they're hinges...
