This war, as Zephy said, has been a somewhat misguided attempt to regain
lands based on inaccurate information. As Archon of Ashtan I never
approved of it, yet I fought for my city because it was my
responsability. However, this responsability is now at an end. Three
times I have fought with the city of Ashtan against Bloodloch and my own
guild, I must honestly admit I am sorry I did it. The first two times at
least I believed the cause was honourable, but this War has not even a
glimmer of it.

I fought until now because I always fought for Ashtan, last month I even
quit my Order over it because it was suggested I was feeding the city
information. Sadly, I was also accused of treason in my city. I
sacrificed a lot for Ashtan, and seeing me accused made me realize that
the City does not realize what I have tried to do for it. Therefor as of
this moment I am no longer a citizen of Ashtan.

Unlike others that have left, I will not fight against it either. To
Duiran and Bloodloch, keep me enemied if you so wish, though I will not
fight against you. If I am attacked I will defend myself though.

Honourbound,
Arslen
