Dear Aetherius,

I write to you my second post of public display on a new topic of
research that runs side by side with my long-term project. I set the
question, are Kinsarmar and Antioch political lovers with no inclination
to back up their supposed rivalry over the issue of magick use or am I
missing something?

It is quite easy for one such as myself to instantly have the negative
views of my experienced peers about these two cities pressed and
imprinted on me without actually experiencing them for myself. Now, I
must say, after a talk with the Duchess of Kinsarmar, numerous incidents
in which Kinsarmarians have been backed by their desert dwelling allies,
and more personal incidents such as Brother Aten and his professing to
protect Kinsarmar. Now, I don't care what lies this temper driven monk
speaks in defense, I witnessed with my own eyes the -bullying- of this
supposed man of calm meditation and whatnot over a runt that hides in
Kinsarmar.

Now let me turn my attention to the Muamrite dog that I have been
hunting in recent months. It is rare that I rouse myself to hunt someone
down but you could say this mutant desert man who betrayed the Empire in
stealing her slaves and trafficking them to Kinsarmar for goodness knows
what perversion. Again, a hipocrisy. But it is wonderfully amusing to
see such pathetic racial preservation, what upsets me is the lack of
clear allegiance in any of the mentioned. The borders are all higgledy
piggledy.

I am angered and thus you see a side of me rarely viewed. Feel
privileged Aetherius for it will not be a common occurence. The summary
of my writing? -- take a hard look at yourselves, people. You disgrace
yourselves with this lack of commitment to your supposed stance on such
a controversial topic. As for the Empire, at least we know -who- we are.
Do you?
