Seraphinus, in this little anecdote you've decided to relay to
Aetherius, you've done nothing but disgrace yourself and what you claim
to have as beliefs. You've just relayed to us that not only did you not
have the strength of will to represent your beliefs as a pacifist. But
you didn't have the strength of body to represent your convictions as a
combatant and have only turned to peace because, no matter how much
[you] tried to become strong, [you] couldn't."

Being that you have established that you have no idea as to how this war
came about, and the disservice that the Shah has done in relaying to
your population the nature of this, or the fact that he could have
prevented any undue suffering to befall those of your 'pacifistic'
status, then I hardly see how you can blindly defend his actions stating
that he has your best interests at heart. As for our side targeting the
young, the innocent or the non-combatants, those who hold truly, and I
reiterate, TRULY the values of peace and do not waver. Miichelle being
the epitome of such unwavering convictions
decade after decade, show me where she was targeted even once? Believe
it or not, while coordinating raids, myself, Gurn, Risca and several
other Celidonian leaders have on numerous occasions declared certain
individuals as 'off limits' due to their age, innocence or non-combatant
status. While I will not claim that this is an infallible measure, it
exercises a lot more reserve than any of your allies who claim to follow
the Lords of Justice, Light and the Suns.


As for Kayden, I include this only as a minor post script as he has
already said he will not reply, I ask one simple question: Since when do
leaders actions not reflect the beliefs of the organization? Do the
actions of Skye not reflect upon Celidon? Do the actions of Ageranu not
reflect upon Antioch? You now fight beside Ahkan and Keijima who lead
Khandava and Kinsarmar for several many years, did their actions not
reflect upon thier Council and City? Leaders don't have the luxury of
personal affairs when they 'individually' raid a Council with a 'select'
group of their peers. You've served as the Guild Master of the Taekyon,
Idras and now Ithaqua, this is something you should be more than
familiar with by now than to hide behind the guise of ignorance.


With regard to common sense,
Anthe Ashtear-Vuh'uni
