Just a question for Aetherius to ponder and for the Ilaferi to hopefully
answer, as I've yet to prompt a response from them otherwise.

Ilaferi, you so happily proclaim to be free of the bonds of men and wish
not to answer to their call, to their whim. Why is it that you now seek
refuge in cities and councils that are led by the men who you loathe so
much? I see the Duke of Kinsarmar, the Shah of Antioch.. goodness! Men
seem to rule every city and council within Aetherius, yet the Ilaferi
proclaim that you are not led by men.

In that sense, if the leaders happened to.. well.. perchance, order an
Ilaferi warrioress to attack...would you rebuke his commands and live in
that womanly fashion? Just call me a curious Sylayan, but you women sure
do have me confused! Let's clear up any of those cloudy spots and see
your true feelings, eh?

Cheers,
Ren Fel'Amrit
