Today the Dark Swordsaints and I raided two villages under "protection"
from the self-proclaimed protecters of the world, the Swordsaints. We
cleared Tasur'ke in a matter of minutes, meeting no Swordsaint
resistance, even though there were members in the area. Shortly after
we proceeded south to another village and made waste of its peoples
lives almost as fast, still meeting no resistance. What is wrong here
is that if the Swordwaints are about protecting then where were they?

The simplest answer I can see is that they didn't feel like newbie
bashing at the time. Sure, they claim to be the protectors of the
innocent and yet they have killed many innocent people who simply didn't
know any better. In case you haven't noticed, thier have been many
complaints and yet they say it is for the better. Better for whom? I
surely do not see this as being better, nor do many others. The deaths
caused by our Swordsaint friends are no different than the deaths of the
villagers they protect in my opinion.

Our strike's main objective was not to simply show the poor job done
by the Swordsaints, but rather to inspire the other citizens of Aetolia
to
rise up against the oppressors. The senseless slaghter of the weak
must stop, for they know no better. I myself am a "weak" one, and I know
the difficulties of training. Life is hard and cities offer all the
resources needed to train. The Dark Swordsaints simply are the peoples
"cry for help". The people want someone to stand up to Strung's tyranny
and they are the answer. The way things were done, although not quite
honorable, got the point across. The solution is not more killing, it is
peace. Strung and his group are no different than the people they claim
to protect so that can not be the answer. Together Aetolia must find a
way
everyone can agree upon. Until then the Dark Swordsaints are here.

The raid, in case you were wondering, consisted of clearing two villages
that were under protection of the Swordsaints. The group consisted of
Ikne,
Hreka, Arslen, Brin, Alaron, and myself. It was to show that the
Swordsaints are nothing more than a joke that shames the Paladin name.
This should also be taken as a note, as long as there are Swordsaints
acting like morons, there will be Dark Swordsaints to make fun of the
morons.
