Your perception of what is right and wrong

Blackthorn General,

With all due respect, my perception is that your words stem from great bitterness, as Aodfionn appears to have hit home quite precisely. That your "warriors" - this sounds like those were hordes of raving zealots, when usually, only Rangor, yourself, and a few other misguided club-swinging savages attempt to bring a skirmish to our walls - have been met with "inaction, cowardice, and what passes as clever insults"...

Ah, I will leave you to your impression, seeing how you've apparently grown complacent enough to allow the abominable Monument of Eternal Darkfire (constructed of iron and... let me think... stone?) to stand amidst your beloved Darkenwood. Rest assured, though, that inaction and cowardice are no traits that you will find ingrained in any citizen of the mighty Dawnspear.

And that you direct your ire towards the Dawnspear, while you let a city like Mhaldor thrive with its many necromants and regular exterminators within its walls - what is that supposed to tell the world about your focus and your priorities? Other than that you don't have them straight, apparently?

I claim not to know anything about Nature - I was born a city-dweller, and I feel very much at home on its streets, in its buildings. I greatly enjoy my visits to the forestal village as well, and I respect how Eleusis - like other villages as well - have managed to live a life seemingly balanced out with Nature. Only... have you not twisted and bended Nature to accommodate your wills and wishes? Are your naturally-grown village walkways and boughs still so natural, showing no signs of wear and tear? Do you not exploit the earth for its minerals with your miners for your city-state's installations? Don't you have your fair share of stone-constructed statues and cairn stones, steel-plated chests, and even citizens and city guards carrying metallic armour and weaponry?

Perhaps it is time that you focused your energy, your ire, your wrath, your power on the enemies of Nature that actively seek to destroy every last bit of plant life instead of irking the warriors of Good that have stood by your side, stood by Nature's side time and time again. See to it that the fog-huffers do not triumph with their wicked ways and disgusting philosophies. See to it that the Nihilists do not come through with their wicked plans to annihilate all that lives. See to it that the Darkwalkers do not succeed with their egotistical scheming.

Creation's welfare depends on Growth, Truth, Sacrifice, and Purity - the tenets of the Bloodsworn. If you are not too blind to see how Nature fits into this scheme quite smoothly, I am sure that you will be able to allow yourself to cease your mindless transgressions against the Dawnspear. Let yourself and yours be encompassed by the Light, and fret not - your petty skirmishes and tank explosions (no doubt, those are somehow constructed from iron) will not let us warriors of Good stray from our path.

Good shall prevail. Creation will thrive.


Light protect,
Magenta Azagnanna
