Some seem to forget what the Ilaferi stood for. What rogues of the guild
still stand for.

Prophet of Khandava, the extension of your invitation to the Ilaferi is
noted and appreciated. My sisters well know the similarities we share
with Nature's courses. You may find a few of us joining your
citizenship. You may not.

Wildgraf of Ithaqua, the extension of your invitation to the Ilaferi is
also noted. Please accept that Ithaqua's citizenship may not be new, but
it is our understanding that the leadership is. As to the kinship of
skills and reasoning of them....there are similarities. However, the
teachings of them and the lifestyles the Wardens and Ilaferi live have
been different since our creation. Was it not the Wendigo who passed on
the Wardens' ways to you under the pretense that you would not teach
those ways to womenkind...speaking that it would dishonour the history
of the Wardens? I myself bear much respect for you and for the paths you
have taken; however refuse to watch further wrath of the Alovyan Queen
upon the heads of my sisters for actions we've taken.

Kabal...I suggest you watch your words more carefully. I implore you to
instead respect what we still have and what we still are; the rogues of
the Ilaferi. You might have more words to say about the matter of the
Ilaferi - but if I remember correctly, no Stavenn scholar, Stavenn
leader or Stavenn warrior has slain me...as an Ilaferi...because I was
'weak' and 'needy'. I believe the 'demons in our trees' were really the
eyes of those who assume and disbelieve in the bonds of sisterhood. I
suggest, instead, to look more deeply into who bore the Ilaferi title
proudly rather than who became one because of the realms' outrageous
ideals on who we should be and what tasks we should do.

To my sisters.

Do not forget why the Ilaferi were created. Do not forget we still have
little sisters out there who need to learn the basis of what an Ilaferi
is. I will not let my sisters falter in the spirit of our history or the
spirit of our hearts. Will you?

There are still Ilaferi out there with high morale and spirited
pathways. I am one. I will wear the Ilaferi feather with pride. Those
who still believe in the ideals...the true ones...may contact me. Those
who wish to support these rogues in their ideals...may also contact me.
