Salutations all, and especialy Wedric and Vasilus

To Vasilus: I applaud your help but could you please refrain from
speculating about traitors in our midst. The wounds left by former ones
are still to fresh. You are right in believing Wedric is mostlikely not
able to light such fires anymore, but we see these fires every year
during summer. They are caused by the drougth and are to some degree
part of the Natural Cycle.

To Wedric: eventhough I have long been a member of the Duiran council, I
admired your persistance in the last few years. You worked against the
ods to achieve something. I do not condone your ways but you showed
courage at some point.

I am saddened to see you are now taking credit for things that you most
likely haven't done.

To everyone willing to make some money: I am old enough to have learned
that no one has all the answers, so I aswell might be wrong at times.
Therefor I offer 10.000 gold sovereigns to anyone who proofs me wrong
and who makes a fire -not a campfire- with a tinderbox with me present.
We are talking about a forest fire here ofcourse.

p.s. If you do succeed, please put the fire out whilst practising will
you, I replanted enough past months. My old back won't survive much more
