Well, I cannot say you are without answers Strung, yet you still only
cleared up one of the few concerns that were mentioned? Do you expect
the rest of them to just go ignored? Given you may not be a citizen of
Shallam any longer, but you are still a Paladin. The Paladin leadership
may be a bit inactive, but does that mean you can ignore what that guild
has set forth?

Let me just point this out a bit more simple to avoid any confusion
whatsoever. Strung, do you not protect the villagers because they are
defensless if they are attacked? Yes, I think that was the purpose of
all this. Now, Strung, you attack and kill any who mean harm to them.
Your victims have no means of defending themselves against you, what
difference is there between you and them? You commit the same act as
they do. Somewhere in your mind, because you say your "protecting" it
makes it all right. You may not know it, but your no better than the
villians you claim to be fighting.

A Paladin is to value honor, true, there is honor in protecting the
weak, but is there honor is slaughtering the weak as well? Think to your
self Paladin, and I use that term loosely, is there honor in these
slaughters? You may be doing a noble deed, but your ways about it are
far from noble. If this is what honor is to the Paladins, then the sense
of what honor is has changed quite a bit in time. I suggest you get to
know the values of your guild once more Strung. I am no Paladin, but I
do know right from wrong, honorable from dishonorable. This does not
only go out to Strung, but all those who have decided to take part in
his disillusioned vision.

Finally, these "Dark Swordsaints", what is your opinion of them Strung?
Do you think they are right in their choice? No, yes? I say good for
them. While your "defending" who is to defend your victims from you?
