Kaethi,

Despite being a one-time traitor to Kinsarmar, I believe that I led the
former Flameweavers along an ideological path that embraced everything
the Mages lack. Name, a complete and utter lack of care for nature and
the elements that we mages are gifted enough to draw our power from. You
sit there and claim that the Mages were formed in defense of Kinsarmar,
which is true. However, this is the same Kinsarmar that destroyed
everything in its path in making itself the Five Towers and much later
making roads through the Highlands near your city. While it may be
defense that the Mages think of, they are no different than
Stavennites...except Stavennites actually embrace what they are without
bothering to hide their contempt for the rest of the world. Speaking of
which, Kinsarmar abhors Stavenn, does it not? Familiarity breeds
contempt, my dear lady. Take some pages out of the Empire's book and
proudly claim what you stand for...that being Civilization and the
destruction of the natural areas surrounding your cities and townes. I'm
sure the Mages have a lovely time playing "defense" while protecting
those who slaughter plant and wildlife by the thousands for their own
personal gain, without giving anything back but what you deem
"Civilization".

Ah, yes. Now that that's off my chest, there is the matter of my dear
Emeris'....selective memory. If truly had, and have, nothing to do with
the Stormweavers, then I would like the one million gold I personally
gave him to help fund the next Mage project in Celidon back. I would
also like to know why, exactly, he persisted in asking me to contribute
millions more to get the charter for said guild after I retired from the
realms, and why he chose the name "Stormweavers" as his guild name.
Certainly I have nothing to do with the guild whatsoever...I mean, what
with being a primary donor, and my own now-defunct charter of the
Flameweavers being inspiration for his guild's name.... I can't imagine
what ties I have to his guild.

Don't bother replying, except if you wish to return what was my gift
that you so conveniently forgot to mention when you denounced me
publically, Aakrin. I would appreciate knowing my gold is no longer
sullied by a former friend-turned character assassin's fingers.
