I have seen citizens from thralls and squires fight for their
Bloodloch. I have seen those with the least skill, try to stand
up against much mighter fighters for their city.
I haven't seen many Ashtan citizens do the same, as matter of
fact I have seen many leave. Bloodloch, contrary to your post, hasn't
lost citizens but gained them.

We didn't hire an organization that sole purpose is to hurt others,
but allied with one, a political move of two cities to aide
one another in times of troubles.

I have seen Leaders of Ashtan cower and not even be willing to die
for thier city. Some even leaving at disgust.. Tactics of RL
are questionable.

You may wish to live with your delusions, but RL isn't fighting for
Ashtan but the power they were handed. They are nothing but thugs.
I have seen much for citizens of Bloodloch to be proud of.
I have seen little for any citizen of Ashtan to be proud of.
Your leaders, Zev, sold out, plain and simple, and when they
did this war ceased to be about the Rock.
