I'd like to start this post by saying, Ashtan did not declare
war on anyone. This war was brought to Ashtan, to crush it. To
destroy every inhabitant, and take over it's subsidiaries. An
agressive action, not only made by Bloodloch, but supported by
Slyphe, the guilds she patrons, and Duiran, to mention a -few-
of the organisations.

When you back a dog into a corner, it is going to bite. That is
a lesson many people should learn. War is not without a price, is
another.After the relentless onslaught of the vast armies of
sapience, a solution was found to deal with Duiran. A cunning,
and well executed plan. Clearly, it had the required impact.
This action was brought on yourselve, Duiran. To all others, this
is an unfortunate situation, and you have no one but Duiran to
thank.

To the leaders of Duiran, and the Druids. To remain a neutral
force in the world, and ensure the safety of the forests,
perhaps it would be best to remove yourselves from the war. You
should be greatful it is not all herbs that were destroyed, and
only a select few.

To those already part of the war, and those looking to "pay back"
Ashtan, perhaps you should think for a second, this was a
devestating, and unexpected turn in the war. Who knows what we
will think of next to hinder our attackers, and who knows who
we will target?
