Normally I would not respond to this.. However I feel it important to my
House that I respond to some of your concerns, as no doubt they will
arise once more in some form or another.

I'll break down your concerns one by one, responding to each in turn, to
keep things easy to read.

((You are one who has the Blood within him. You are what mortals call a
"Vampire", a "monster".))
This is true. I am a vampire. I don't deny that. I require blood to
continue and prolong my undeath. There's never been any debate on this
topic. However I have a problem with the Monster. I have spoken with a
few mortals, most of whom have voiced their support of my cause. The
word monster has not been uttered in my conversations, by either side.

((It is you as well as us, that are portrayed as nothing but evil
abominations who come in the night and drink from the citizens of these
lands in stories.))
Once again your statement is accurate. We're portrayed as evil
abominations. I won't deny that. But i'm trying to change that thought..
Trying to show people that we're not all evil. There is good in us, even
you, even Abhorash.

((Do you really think that will change?))
Yes.

((You will feed, that is without question. You will use the corpses of
sentient beings to raise your faithful minions.))
We've gone from fact into assumptions. That's bad. I will feed. Agreed.
I will raise my minions? Never said that. Let's stick to the "facts" as
I've stated them Razlan. I have yet to make a decision regarding raising
my minions. You'll be the FIRST to know when I do. Deal?

((Where ever you go, whatever you do, death will follow you as that is
the road you have chosen so long ago. Do you really think a drinker of
Blood will truely be trusted?))
I'll use a random example.. Wherever Szan goes death will follow him.
Wherever Oceania goes death will follow her. Death is an ever-present
substance. It is there with all Mortals, and it follows Vampires. We
don't die, but it follows us, just as it follows everyone else. I do not
have to kill to survive.. But i'll broach that topic when we come to it.

((Do you really think a drinker of Blood will truely be trusted?))
Yes

((Perhaps you will decide to only drink the blood of rats and other such
animals, but do you honestly think all those you sire will choose that
road as well?))
This is a bit strange.. I have a choice as to who I sire. I will not
sire those that will betray my trust, betray my rule. I do not plan on
sustaining myself on the blood of rats. I have found that many many
Mortals are more then willing to let you have a sip, as blood is easily
regained for them. It's a matter of trust and friendship.

((Sustaining yourself from such...filth ridden means is no way to spend
an eternity.))
Agreed

((There will be a day where you will once again drink from the body of a
sentient being, then all that you've said now will be for naught.))
Tell me where I said i'd never feed of sentients? Again, we're straying
from fact and entering a realm of assumptions. Yes I will drink off
sentients, but more then likely only my Mortal allies and only with
their consent. What does drinking off sentients have to do with my
intentions of working to better the land?

((I'm sure there will be many of those you sire who will not sink to the
level of only feeding from animals, they will feed from the beings
within the lands, they will slaughter to satisfy their hunger.))
As above I never claimed they wouldn't.

((You said one of your beleifs is that all should be treated as equals,
you are not above, or below anyone. No grudges will be held.))
True

((but you've also said this.."I do not feel that it is appropriate to
respond to Abhorash's post, as he's really not worth my time".))
Once again true.

((What is one supposed to gather from that?))
I will apologize.. I should have phrased my words differently. Let me
change that statement. "I do not feel that it is appropriate to respond
to Abhorash's post, as I feel his intent is only to bicker and therefor
it's not really worth my time." Apologies for speaking inappropriately.

((All that you've said so far have been nothing but words, words that
contridict yourself.))
Other then the above point I've never contradicted myself. You've made
assumptions. The contradiction is only in your mind.

((You have given your word, your sacred bond and oath, and at that same
point, you broke it. Think carefully of your actions Jaeharn.))
I promised my eternal loyalty to Prince Paracelsus Voltaire. I am in no
way breaching my promise, my oath of loyalty. I am expanding upon it,
creating my own childer of my own beliefs. The intent of House Voltaire,
as I gathered from my Sire, was to seek knowledge. My abilities to do so
were restricted in Bloodloch. I cannot gather all the knowledge I wish
to gather without associating with Mortals. I cannot feel and understand
what happens to them without being amongst them. In a way, I've expanded
upon my oath.
