It has become apparent that those leading Manoa have become as narrow
minded as the Scorpions that they purport no longer exist.

The Dragons of old were not magick lovers, nor are they now, they were
Taekyon that believed that forgiveness and teaching can prevail against
the Taint, just as much as a swift fist could. They were willing to
fight for their beliefs, but allowed others a chance to redeem
themselves, like the Clerics that the Taekyon sprung from.

Those that have embraced Magick, the likes of Sani, Trenon,
Wyndham...are no longer Dragons, regardless of their titles. They are
nothing but misguided fools, that one day, might see the wrong of the
Path they tread, and come home, though some are beyond redemption. I can
claim to be King of the World, but a title doesn't make it so.

Yes, many years ago, magick was used by certain Monks, but no longer, it
is useless to a true Monk, and anathema to the teachings of Manoa, which
although I am not a part of anymore, I still hold true to.

Not all Monks are ruthless zealots, there -is- a Path other than that of
violence.

I'm not posting this to cause conflict, nor will I be drawn into a
pointless war of words. I just want the truth known

Also interesting to note that you believe the honour can be removed,
once earned. And yes, I mean earned, not bestowed.

Remember your roots, Manoa.
