Dear Cousin Murad,

I am sorry that someone in my guild was so unconcerned with propriety
that he or she treated you with disrespect. The skill of forging
requires lessons and effort to learn, and should be treated, like venoms
and enchantments and harvesting, as a hard-earned talent, not as an
automatic ability. However, do you not think that you're taking this a
bit far? Indeed, if someone has disgraced you then feel free to gather
your friends and guildmates to boycott that person from certain items,
make statements in posts, do whatever makes you feel that you have made
your point about that particular concern. But leave the rest of us out
of it. You have the right, as a forger, to make or not make any items
that you desire. Just as I have the right to refuse to sell any venoms I
might produce and a druid could refuse to refill elixirs. The guild
stance on Delphinium and Gecko is no less than the Magi stance on
certain enchantments, we must have some manner of making our particular
skills unique to our guild. I know that approaching you in this manner
is like spitting in the wind, but I do not wish to be lumped into the
category of those who treat others with disrespect. Hence, those of you
who are forgers can make your own decisions as to what to sell and who
to sell to, but be not influenced by one individual to prejudice
yourself against an entire group.
