I know that I am young and the criminals this letter is directed at
will probably pat themselves on the back and think what I say doesn't
matter since I'm just a newbie. May you reap what you sow if you do.

I made a stupid assumption. You see, I seemed to actually believe
that since I'm neutral. That since I've never been in this war which
affects others, Ashtan militia would have the courtesy to leave me and
my grove alone. But nooooooooooooooo! As I was told by Ashtan
militia when I asked why everything in my grove had been destroyed:
"It wasn't personal. We burned all groves, enemy or not. This was
our way of getting at some Duiran."

So let me get this straight. If rogue Indorani A, rogue Indorani B,
and rogue Indorani C were to attack me with their entities and kill
me without me being able to touch them, that since they used entities
to attack I'd be legally able to kill all the entities of all other
occultists, cabalists, and indorani in the world whether or not they
were remotely connected with my own murder? I don't expect the all
wise ambassador of Ashtan to be able to utilize common sense, but on
the remote possibility there actually is a brain in his head I'm going
to ask how my attacking all the entities of all other novices in the
world to get at him and his murderers would be any different at all
from his deciding to attack all groves of all druids of all novices
in the world whether or not we're even remotely connected with the
enemy militia he is pretending to be doing this to get at.

Since I know from what his militia said though when they told me I
have to take this up with him, and since I know he doesn't care about
what some nobody newbie will say I'm going to ask the rest of you if
this is justice? I'm too weak to stand up for myself but I also know
when I've not harmed anyone ever I shouldn't have to.

I plead with those who have strength that I do not, and to the gods
and to the administrators to look at what they're doing. Is Aetolia
to become a place where a bandit can get away with targetting the
property of any novice in the world they choose to as an excuse,
and a quite dumb one at that, for getting at a few Duiran? This does
not make any sense and I think the culprits behind this know it, and
don't give a darn. Do the rest of you?
