Hail Aetherius,

Yes Antioch, we have always warred, and will continue to do so for
centuries, it is our fate. It is acknowledged that any attempts at a
parley or treaty of any nature will always fall short, the hatred and
disrespect runs too deep. Such is our destiny...I more or less find it
amusing that you felt a need to speak up after a declaration of war by a
city of magick, against another city of magick...a war that will be
fought..with magick

Ah yes, the heads, many sand dweller heads laid at our feet, I commend
those of the Empire who wield the blade and fight for Her glory,... you
of the desert were by far the easiest...I will at least commend the rest
of the world on their elusiveness in light of that. Since that has come
to an end, we now simply wage war, something most of Aetherius does
understand.

For all the slander of Stavenn, there is one thing we are consistent
with. We live by one philosophy, and we adhere to it, we don't sway back
and forth whenever it is convenient for us. You...of Kinsarmar, why
would you let some of yours ally with a city that is said to be against
Magick, and you..people of the sand, why do I see you standing beside a
magicker from the North? Why would a representative of the sand city, be
bringing victims to someone of Kinsarmar? How truly pathetic.

I don't care about these wars, they come and go, we'll fight, sometimes
we'll win a battle, sometimes we'll lose a battle, but in all the
centuries of Stavenn's existence, she has never bowed to anyone. She
always has, and always will stand, and we have proven we can do so,
alone against the adversity of the world.

Just this day, and every month for the last three I see people like
Krunka, who fights along side of Silken, Rasca, Arlith and Arcarn
attacking Stavennites, as well as Arlith, Sani or Rasca raiding Stavenn
with Kabal, Laia and/or Araondor, or any other number of Kinsarmarians.
I'm no longer certain of the ideals of Ithaqua, I know at one time
Harker would not have fought along side someone who wielded the very
magicks his home disallowed, could be there has been some change of
ideal there I'm not aware of...so I cannot speak of them.

Just musing, and wonder if anyone else sees the humour, do not speak to
me of being against magick when you will snuggle with it when it's
convenient...and Kinsarmar, why you would allow yours to nest with those
who claim to be against your magicks...bah, Stand strong, it takes far
more than the brawn and the blade to not falter...

My 1000 gold worth of musings, and wondering how you people can look at
yourself and be ok with who and what you are, how you can cry your love
of your Gods and your cities when your actions speak against their very
ideals....Ravven

Let the flaming begin, but if you can at all possible, keep it on
topic...which is magick or -not- magick..and those who can't make up
their minds...bring your personal whines to me, anything here will be
ignored as usual.
