A simple statement

It seems, Mathiu, that you (and probably many others) seem to have had
the opinion that Antioch doesn't thirst for blood.

This is far from the case. Even I, one who now draws his power from
blood, can't say that my lust for it equals the lust Antioch has for it.

While Ithaqua draws upon the dead for survival, Antioch kills merely to
kill. Thinking that they somehow honour their Gods by sending their
opponents to Dis, ironic considering some of the Divine that give
Antioch Their support.

Antiochans live a life of pure hypocrisy, either not realising it, or
ignoring the fact

Antioch has always lusted for the death of those they kill, and never
tried to hide it. Shocking it took you this long to notice, when you
have the likes of Silken, Aten, Lucian and Rasca as shining examples.
Perhaps their example hid the truth of the lemmings that ran around
behind them.

If you require more proof of it, Silken provides it herself - "He chose
to come out of Kinsarmar and die to me - even if he hadn't, I would have
disrupted every moment of his life until he did." - Such great
compassion that is, Silken. You would relentlessly hunt someone down
until they died, rather then seeking the diplomatic (compassionate?)
route? Entertaining.

That Antioch's hypocrisy only now is noticed by you is entertaining, it
isn't as though they've tried to hide it.

And I, personally, think it's an apt time for the forces of magick to
assist each other. We don't need to agree on points of mere philosophy
to ensure that the zealots don't enforce their opinions upon Aetherius.

Something to think upon, perhaps?
