I'll give you a word of friendly advice that might make your actions
have validity. Never throw stones from glass houses-- you'll only get
shards of guilt lodged painfully in your own souls.

I believe it is hard for the world to understand how you can justify
your actions. Those who attack citizens of the various villiages of the
lands obviously know of the consequences that will result between
themselves and the villiage Elders. Do you not believe that the Mayor of
Thera, that Constantine of Tasur'ke, and Shanugis of Shastaan know when
their own citizens are in pain and despair? Let them deal with their own
issues.

What makes the citizenry of Aetolia innocent? Isn't goodness merely
bettering the entire society? If we are to make this world stable,
strong, and satisfied, it is the duty of those who can bring security to
the world to do whatever is necessary, apply as much power as possible,
to better all of Sapience.

Heed my words with care. I don't hate you. I don't even dislike you. I
just laugh at you, because you have no philosophical backing for your
actions.

-Lord Consul Saladin
