Today I come to you as a hunted man.
I come not to complain, but simply to tell the world what the
Elite/Aisu's true character is. I have taken a stance opposed to the
Aisu, but I have not gotten violent unless I was attacked by one of
their members. Which has, until now, been fairly rare.

I come to you now as a hunted man. I am hunted for what I believe, I am
hunted because I will -not- submit. I am hunted because I am a member of
the Aetolia Freedom Fighters. In the past I have spoken out against the
Aisu and their attempts at power. But I did not shed blood. I outguilded
two of the Sentaari who were loyal to Shoimoro, for fear of losing the
guild to him. I outguilded then, I did not hunt them. One of them, my
own brother, has hunted me for this often. He was the first Aisu that I
actually fought. I fought only in defense, I did not hunt him.

But the other day, as I was traveling to Shallam, Strung attacked me. He
put up a rite of Piety, and tried to cleave me. I am an inexperienced
fighter, so I died easily. When I asked about my death, I learned it was
because I was a member of the AFF. I was a bit confused by this because
I had never hunted Aisu members. Knowing Strung's reputation a little, I
figured it was just him wanting to kill me. Until Hagen killed me for
being AFF. Still more confused by this, I thought perhaps it was the
actions of just two people. Then, earlier today, Dillon once again
killed me. I asked him the reason, and he told me because I was AFF.

I was given options most of the times I was killed, quit the AFF or get
Ysni to submit to the Aisu's demands. Or I would continue to die. I like
to consider myself strong-willed, so I have decided not to submit. I do
not care if the fields of Thera turn red with my blood, I will not quit
the AFF or ask Ysni to submit to their demands. The Aisu are after
power, and I for one am not content to sit around and let them take it.
If they manage to get enough power, we will lose our freedom, for surely
we will lose our free will just as those mortal servants to Bloodloch
have, we will have to obey those of higher authority than us, and not be
able to away from the opression. We will lose out freedom

Stand with me Aetolia, stand for Freedom!
