I believe that while Ashtan itself has been conquered, her people have
not.

Firstly, to the said 'alliance'...you knew that you would win, how could
you have not with the growing forces that opposed Ashtan. I will say
that my comrades did manage to put a kink in your plans, and for that I
applaud their efforts. I myself have done little but use my talents to
share my knowledge of Ashtan and her people. Lady Slyphe, You succeeded
in Your grand scheme...but where did it get You? What is to be done now
as You have forsakened those of Ashtan who once followed You? You claim
there will be no Kelsys, so what is there left to do with my still
beloved city?

Secondly, I wish to address the bias that the Admins/Gods have seemed to
have in this 'war'. Many of Ashtan's noble warriors were graced because
they 'abused' commands/skills. Yet there was no rule that said they
could not do it, and then they were punished DAYS AFTER THE FACT. How is
this fair? How come only Ashtanites got screwed over in this 'war'? Are
not the Gods/Admins supposed to be neutral when it comes to the acts of
players? (unless like Slyphe they claim to be 'in' it and managed to
curse those of Ashtan -which was deemed inappropriate at a later date-
and then bless those who were against Ashtan) Many of you claim it is
the RL or what-have-you...all I see is citizens of Ashtan who are
willing to go down fighting against the odds. To rebel against their
oppressors. To fight against a HYPOCRITICAL and BIASED 'alliance'. They
knew they would lose and still they fought, if that is not
courageousness and bravado I do not know what is. And yet they were
punished for doing what they felt was right. I have lost faith in the
powers that be and that is a sad day indeed.
