Recently I've been accused of a lot of raiding, killing villagers, etc.
A lot of this has been done by the Ithaquans to try and get Antiochan
help, as they realize you can't fight a lightning bolt with a dirty bone
knife. I've even been enemied to Antioch for helping Adonis raid Anhir,
which is quite ridiculous as I don't associate with this Adonis fellow
at all and have nothing against the people of the desert.

What Ithaqua's leaders call raiding is running errands for the peace
faction in En'aruna or talking to the people of Aherindale about horses.
I am fully aware that my presence alone enrages the warmongers who've
been attacking Kinsarmar for gold into attacking me should I enter their
townes, and that is indeed a big part of why I have gone into them, so
that they must actually fight someone ready to defend themselves. But I
do not, never have and never intend to "raid" for the purpose of slaying
the villagers. If they tell you I am doing this, they are lying. The
only people attacking innocents for profit or amusement is the
leadership of Ithaqua. I don't know why, but they are afraid of peace.

So, if you are among those attacking me because I slay the villagers,
please reconsider. Walk about the village and see if there are any slain
or missing townspeople. I don't think there will be, unless the
Ithaquans start killing their own more than they do already. I simply
want to see this conflict end without padding a cowardly thug like
Drokthar's pockets. Talking about peace to throw sick people like him
into a self-destructive frenzy has been the most fitting and effective
way thus far to work on that goal.
