Talgon, my dear boy, I don't quite understand how you can dub the
Sentinels a group that doesn't stand for anything, when they are doing
nothing more than what they think is right. They perceive the Magi as a
corrupt entity, if this is factual or not, I have no idea, but it is
simply ridiculous to say the Sentinels are meddling where they don't
belong. They see an injustice, they are standing up for it. Hell, I
applaud the Sentinels for their bravado to stand up for what they
believe is right, even if it doesn't directly pertain to them. The
Sentinels have a loud voice in the world, and they have chosen to speak
up, quite loudly I might add. This herb ban has the potential to render
the Magi's growth completely and utterly stagnant. How many newbies will
stick around very long when they learn they can't get the basic
essentials?

Now, I would just like to reiterate the fact that I have no idea if the
Magi guild is corrupt or not, and personally, I couldn't care less, and,
my dear Magi, I would take offense if your concerns arn't the concerns
of the rest of the realm, so be glad people are taking notice, you
haven't fallen off the map yet!

In summary, the Sentinels standing up for what they believe in isn't not
standing up for anything just because you disagree with what they are
standing up for.
