Greetings Mephiston, everyone

Since you did ask, let us see if, as you nicely put it, it is really
nobodies business that Ashtan has no guilds, or affiliated organisations
beyond the RL, or with my own words, that it is a pit of depressing
stagnancy, a blot upon the land which knows no progress.

This also answers why I am in this war, it is in the interest of all
citizens of every city of Sapience to destroy you and yours, because in
one example, you take the valuable commodities and land which growing
and productive cities require to further themselves. You have no
guildhalls to protect with guards, and no guilds who require commodities
in order to fashion objects like swords and armour (or enchantments)
which they can then sell cheaply to citizens, which will in turn boost
the economy and better the city and its inhabitancy. What you do, in all
aspects of life, be it commodities, land or even people, is take, when
you have no motive to do so, and nothing to use them on, and no doubt
will continue to do so for as long as you exist, which is why your
cities pitiful existence must be crushed.

Now, Im not saying that Bloodloch, Shallam or the Duiran Council are out
to destroy you for your land, what you own after all is rather meagre
since Bloodloch seized the Rock from you, what I am saying is that you
are a blot on the land, you are a taker, a hoarder and a user, and all
that you own would be better put to use by those who can competently
operate it, to further their cities and the worthy organisations within
them.

After all, I might not like the luminaries or Shallam, but as a Slyphian
I commend them for their works, tell me precisely what is the point of
the RL? Once upon a time it was attempting to liberate and control
Ulangi wasnt it? Well you have succeeded on that front just as admirably
as you will in this one. Now stop wasting everyones time with your
bloated sense of self importance.

Yours Sincerely
Eshu Chen.
