Fellow Imperians,

I write in this news section today to announce my formal resignation
from any fighting, minus gathering essence or gold. What are my reasons
for this? I don't really have to explain, but it's simple. I hate
fighting. I always have and I always will. It is not in my nature or
will to fight. I am a healer, poet, writer, and scholar. To feel that I
am forced into fighting when I just have the lack of any will to really
do it is not healthy. I don't want to keep living up to everyone else's
standards when all I want is to be at peace.

So, from this day forth I am taking an oath of peace. This meaning that
anyone who comes after me now to kill me because of what I am is killing
a passive person with no intention to fight back. I would rather run and
not feel that feeling of regret for attacking another living soul. I
follow Lady Cassiopeia and I believe, through her guidance in the stars,
that I shall follow a way fully of compassion and love for all those in
the realm. I am in no way easy game, for I will make sure that the gods
know that you are attacking someone who has no will to fight and has
done nothing to provoke a fight and the God of Justice will certainly
bring it your way.

I wish all of those who feel that they hate me because I am an
Antiochian to consider what I was before that and remember that they
never really hated me before, they just decided to because of what I
became. I do not have the spirit to hate and I will not hate.

Stars Guide and Bless,

Elyse Bharathian
