Firstly, starting off your reply in such a condescending and insulting
tone would seem to prove my point about the bad influence that
corruptions has, at least on manners.

Considering the lack of logic or reason within your post, and your
seeming ability to ignore or 'redefine' words to suit your own meanings,
it would seem rather pointless to try and respond to your rather crude
but flowery attempt to defend the honor of your Lady. I do commend you
on your attempt though, and hope she rewards you better than she rewards
some of her other followers.

Second, do not mistake the process of renewal and rebirth, which is by
the providence of our Lady Lleis, and a beautiful part of the cycle of
life, for the rot and disease caused by the corrupting hand of your
Lady. This natural cycle bears as little resemblence to the affects of
Lady Chakrasul, as a lilly pond to a cesspool. There is no renewal, no
regeneration in corruption, only rot and decay. To think different is to
fail to understand or comprehend the true meaning of corruption.

Certainly none can doubt your faith and how you have embraced her as an
embodiement of all you hold dear. However, unless your Lady is not
really the Lady of Corruption, but the Lady of Vice, would any of your
post make sense to a rational mind. You must surely realise that, except
by the most convoluted of meanings, could you fit the bringing of new
and whole life into the world as an act of corruption. Unless Lady
Chakrasul is only "sort of" the Lady of Corruption, if she is only
"partly" corrupt, then could she be thought responsible for an act of
true creation.

You seem to mistake or misinterpret exactly what corruption means. By
it's very meaning, corruption is the antithesis of life, for corruption
can not create, only degenerate. Change, however it occurs, is good and
part of the overall balance which makes life possible. What you seem to
be deluded about, is that corruption is not about balance and life, but
about the Decay and Death. You seem to wish to pick and choose what
aspects of corruption you recognise, not looking at how it is not
corruption, but renewal, which rebuilds life from decay, and as stated
before, renewal is the providence of our Lady Lleis, not Chakrasul.

Like some moonstruck young suitor, entranced by the bewitching eyes of
his intended, you do not notice the blemishes that would be apparent to
a less enamored suitor. You can not see, or she chooses not to show, the
negative aspects, much as the nagging shrew who hides that part of her
nature until after the wedding.

As far as the Consanguine, embracing corruption would, to a logical mind
seem to be antithical to their very existence. They were embraced, and
spend their lives, or unlives as the case may be, in trying to avoid the
ultimate form of corruption, that being death. They do their utmost to
stave off the corruption of their bodies, trying to defeat the
degeneration and decay that come to all life. If the Lady Belladonna
wishes to come and debate me on the subject, and provide me with her
views, I would be most happy to converse. You I would think, can not
speak for her however, so until that happens, the point would seem moot.

Finally, as far as parties go, every party ends, it is just that some
seem to go on forever. When the hostess decides she has had enough, then
you will realise that the party was only for her, and you were just
there to entertain and amuse, and once she decides you are no longer
amusing, you will share the same fate of so many others.


In service to Life and Balance,

To defend, this is the pact.
but when life's scorned and damage done,
to avenge, this is the pact.

P.S.
Oh, and if you need to borrow some gold for a response, I would be most
happy to lend you the sum. I did not realise that impoverishment was
part of the 'virtues' of your faith, or that she tithed you so heavily
that 1000 gold is such a burden for you to aquire.
