I'm not going to get into a battle of posts with you Spirokai but a few
corrections. I have no association whatsoever with Duiran and on some
points, I can agree with your complaints with them. However, your
actions have exceeded the point that I can agree with. Your enemy status
to the Order of Khepri has been a long time coming, as anyone that it
was discussed with can tell you. It did in fact, occur before any
aggressions between us occured. The hesitation was to simply to see if
in fact, you would continue your exterminations on the mainland, which
you did. Perhaps your attack on me motivated me to put the status in
effect quicker than otherwise but rest assured, it was inevitable, just
a matter of time.

In addition, perhaps I wasn't clear. My statement on the 'big picture'
had nothing to do with fear of an herb ban. I have not even heard word
that it was a possibility and loss of herbs and elixirs as a result of a
ban, has never been a concern to me. My concern, and yes, it may seem
farfetched, is the extinction of some herbs. No, your exterminations
have not gotten to the point where this is a major threat but I do not
want it to even be a possibility. Consider the results of an ice
shortage, rejuvenation would cease and extinction would become a very
likely situation. Yes, all hypothetical, all 'what ifs', but I believe
the situation has grown to the scale that these should be considered by
everyone.
