Fellow Aetolians,

As my colleague Gracie has pointed out, the herb and vial ban is
lifted, since the CoT have, so far, met the terms which Gracie and I
hammered out with them one month ago. The land is being slowly and
painstakingly healed by the efforts of many. One of the most
heartening things to happen during this brief period was receiving
a number of offers of support from people who were sickened by the
recent turn of events. Beings from every walk of life have contacted
Gracie and I. With some, it was a demonstration of intellectual
and emotional support, comments like 'an historic event....strong
show of solidarity'. From others came more tangible offers of
information, even protection.

I thank each and every one of you for that. You know who you are.
We will stay in touch as events develop.

For the Sentinels part, we will keep our own counsel on who we
believe to be worthy of our goods and services. As Helius wisely
pointed out, it is not up to anyone else but us to determine where
and how we shall deploy our efforts. We shall resume sales to
those believed to be, at a minimum, neutral to the protection of
that which we all use. Those who continue to hunt any of our
members, bring youngsters into the land in an attempt to divert
supplies, or have participated in the destruction thus far, will
have a hard time getting the ear of any true Sentinel.
