First of all, I'd like to mention that no owls were harmed in my recent
post. The animal rights activists can stop sending letters.

Rivaidan,

As I said, I don't know anything about the details Xiur and Ryadai
conflict. All I claim to know is what I've seen with my own eyes.

I've seen helpless women and children roaming the Gongen Mountains while
their "captain" resides in the safety and luxury of a council or a city.
If he cares for his people then why isn't he trekking through the
mountains to rescue them?

I've seen Cargan, the Xiur Captian, cut down a Ryadai man and a helpless
Ryadai woman without obvious provocation. This murder took place in a
Celidon cocktail lounge, of all places, and even you witnessed it. I
don't claim to know his reasons. I just know what I saw, and I've heard
that the Ryadai captain does the same in the presence of the Xiur
people.

If the Xiur and/or Ryadai women seek a life that isn't doomed to
suffering at the hands of their male "leaders," they can seek out the
Ilaferi. Otherwise, we wish them all the best in their decision.

In the strength of the Tribe,
Cedahlai
