For awhile now, I have been thinking of various state
of things regarding this 'war'. Bloodlochs involvement, the alliance
all the various factions that have lead up to this war.
And the only thing that comes to my mind is how could we give up
now. How can we let them burn our forest, exterminate our hopes,
dicate to us their laws. Rl is nothing but a legion of thugs,
that have nothing better to do with their lifes.

I have seen citizens from Shallam, Bloodloch and the various
factions stand up and fight for their beliefs. Even when they
were not the greatest fighters. They have endured, they have
fought for a cause greater then themselves.
Many have put aside personal differences to do this.
All aspects of true Valor, courage, strength, bravery..even
humility.
Yet, all I have seen from Ashtan is thugs. I haven't seen
the same aspects as I have from the alliance.
I have read the posts that encouraged us to give up, not let
change happen, stagnate the rest of the realms.

Those that sit on the fence like this sadden me, they rather
keep to the sidelines, not affecting nothing, stagnation at its
finest. I am not a follower of Lady Slyphe, but I can see this
deep need of change in this realms...

It's time to stop sitting on those sidelines and watch as the
world passes you by. And I have never been one to do this, and
I will not start now. Nor will I sit and let some thugs
ruin this realm. Yes, we will continue this fight. We may not
be able to destroy Ashtan, but we are not going to let them
grow beyond those walls.

This is the stance I will take, this is the stance we should
all take. Remember that next time see them burning, exterminating
or killing for their laws. For they will, do not be fooled to think
they will not.
