My Dearest Aetolians,

I have watched these posts and have felt dear pain within my heart. We
are tearing into each other, all for the purpose of self-gain and pride.
And in these battles, I have seen many words come out that puzzle me. I
believe I will begin with these...

Van, you are incorrect. Corruption opposes the Cycle. The Manu, those
without the Cycle, are the product of Corruption. There is no room
within the Cycle for it. Death is very much a part of it, when brought
naturally. As is Life. Age. Birth. All part of the Cycle. Please, do not
slander the teachings of M'lady Lleis with your lies.
Lucin, we are all what you call "Pets." There are no more Ankryean.
Being a Spirean, Cabalist or Syssin does not change this fact. Indeed,
it was the idea that there are those who are above others, the pride and
fall of the ideas of Life that caused the legacy to fall. And with that
idea, I do say, is the very reason yourself and all of the Cabal should
work towards the purification of your guild's mistakes. If you and your
own are truly scholars, learn from the past of those before you.

I do not wish to be too long winded, so I will end with this. The Tree
was a creation of the Ankryeans. But, despite it's source, it has
changed. It has become a symbol of Life and Hope within the realm. All
go to it for a chance again. The few who opposed it have opposed us all.
They seek their own gain. Please, I beg of you all, remember the ideas
of Life and Love and cast aside this pettiness and work for a tomorrow
that actually matters..

In Health,
-Priest Azumi, the Cyrean
