Of all wars, fear is the driving force. Fear of the unknown, fear of
what is yet to come.
The war against the totem, was based upon the same fear. Just as it
drove the war against Bloodloch, fear of what might be.
These fears are often time groundless. Just as the bride walks down the
lane, many feelings may come to pass.
One of which, is fear, the cold feet, but to start upon her new life she
must cross that threshold, to begin a new part of her life.

Greed often times fuels this fear, such as with generous offers.
The war was lost for it wasn't based upon principles but upon the
credits.
You can't put your heart and soul behind a few credits after a while the
war seemed pointless.
Those of us in Haern order, fought with their heart and souls, working
often times till they could not endure further, putting long hours into
their efforts.
I did not see that with Shoimoro and rest.

The war against Bloodloch and Infernals was started with little
principles.
It was based upon a fear that once again was groundless. Those that
fought I am sure believed they were
right in doing so. But it was a war that could ot be won,.
It was a war that only was to kill without much purpose to progress to a
conclusion.

I am not saying they had no cause perhaps in their own minds, for they
had. But it was
only a few that did.
But all of Bloodloch fought to protect their home, either in words or
with their lives.

Fight with heart in what you believe and you can't lose, they can beat
you, try to discourage you, but defeat you.. never.

Throwing back words of who did what or when, accomplishes little.
Looking to the future to try to better the realms or lands, is a much
more worthwhile endeavour.
