My fellow Aetolians,

Many of you have no doubt heard of the Sentaari's problems lately. I am
sure that different versions of events have been flying around, and I
wish to explain a few things.

The Sentaari accept responsibility for our former Guildmistress Meesha's
actions. It was we who voted her into the Grandmaster of Flowers
position, so much of the blame falls on us, even if many of us did not
condone our former Guildmistress' actions. The Sentaari have paid their
debt to the newly founded Daru guild, and are working on rectifying the
rest.

What happened with the Daru? That question will have to be answered by
their Grandmaster of the Monastery, Clio Thetis. But, I will answer as
much as is my right to do so.

Meesha had apparently made a deal with the Daru (which was then just a
clan with many members being within the Sentaari) in order to gain their
votes in the election against the then Grandmaster of Flowers, Jakob.
Meesha won the election with the help of the Daru, and even swore by
Lord Rahn that she would uphold her end of the deal. About three months
later, Meesha decided to outguild every member of the Daru that she
found within the Sentaari, many of who were out of novicehood but below
GR3, which cost them a great deal of hard-earned credits. She even
outguilded two people who were contesting her for the Guildmaster
position at the time, Kenji and Cecilia, because they were a part of the
Daru. The Daru were understandably angry, as was Shallam for the theft
of credits from its citizens.

I contested Meesha and won. Meesha left the Sentaari, and now I am
working to get the Sentaari on the path that they should have been.
Discipline will be instilled in the members of the Sentaari, and they
will become true Monks.

I hope these facts have helped you all get the full picture about what
has gone on. But it is all in the past now, and the Sentaari are looking
into the future.
