This "conflict"

So...you're holding Omei accountable for Galleus' slumber? That's damn
near cute. He's hardly Lord Arion. Valor and Justice aren't really His
realms, and even if they were, He'd be doing the "just" thing by leaving
the Dreamer alone.

Ages ago, the Muse, whether intentionally or unintentionally, almost
rendered the Dreamer non-existent. We're not talking about something
comparable with what Severn did to Lanos. We're not talking about
killing off Her shell. We're talking about non-existence. There would be
no essence left to transfer into a new shell at all. She would have
ceased to be.

In retaliation, the Dreamer bid Her time, waiting until the opportunity
arose, and She struck back against the One that had nearly wiped Her
from all of Creation.

Now, what does this have to do with Lord Galleus, you ask?

It's simple. He was one of the Gods that consented to the Dreamer's
imprisonment. In fact, She and Her Garden were imprisoned in a
crystalline prison. It appears that your good Lord struck at Her first.
You hold Her accountable for His slumber, though She was imprisoned, and
unable to willingly affect the plane on which we live when He slept.

You, yourself, dear Mazzion, helped destroy one of the Muse's shrines
around 20 years or so ago so that one of the Dreamer's shrines could be
raised in Mor. So tell me again, why are you provoking a pointless fight
with our Order? There are no ideals at stake here. It's another
pointless killing fest without a point of resolution to be obtained by
either side.

When will Galleus win? When all of us are dead? Nope...fraid that's not
gonna happen. It didn't happen any of the other 5 or 6 times Orders
picked fights with the Dreamer. We go to the Underhall, and return to
life through Varian's grace. You're gonna defile all of our shrines? Too
bad there's nothing you can do about that master shrine, huh? Guess we
can offer there and raise more shrines when you lot have gotten bored.

Really, what's the point? This is another excuse for Desian and company
to hop up and start fighting for a God they don't worship because they
"don't like Omei" when a member of the "offended" Order has aided the
Order that they're attacking over something that happened over half a
century ago.

If you're gonna fight, and bring a God's name into it, then be sure
you're fighting for what you believe in, and what your God teaches, and
not just a group that seems to make a good target at the time.
