A plea for Content.

I have spoken with the few Guildleaders I have seen, and shall be
speaking to more.
I am not a prominent or forceful entitiy in Sapience, more like an
innocent bystander on a high-trafficed path that rolls by me as I watch
it
However, even I can see the necessity of sacrifice, when dozens die over
this or that.
As I travel, singing and writing, the well-traveled roads of Sapience I
have heard of the Rumors that may lead me to believe that the outcome of
this particular landmarking season will have cataclysmic results on the
future of this realm as we know it.
I have been a Druid, all of my life, serving only to better that which
cannot be improved upon. Serving Neutrality, those who seek to abstain
from direct conflict are usually pacifistic.
I know it will never happen, but I can dream ignorant and utopian
dreams, can I not? I ask, as a mediator, that all Guild Leaders get
together with me before the Cave. I beseach what little optimisim that
is within each of your hearts to listen to an old dreamer.
Hearts, Souls, Bodies, Minds, Whatever.. I should choose my words
carefully.
There are, in fullness, ten Divine Landmarks within Sapience. I am
stating the obvious by pointing out that this is an even number.
If each of us, light and dark, sacrifice for eachother. We can split
these Landmarks between us All. We can have an outcome that can be
prosperous for ALL of us as a Whole.
I believe in MY Heart, for I do indeed have one, that no one that walks
this world together or alone has any more right to live and be happy
here then the person walking oppisite them.
I wish with all my soul, for I have one of those too, that we could put
aside our petty and imagined differences. Lay down our very real hatreds
and greivances, and together, as occupants of this World unite to create
a future that everyone can live in with some semblance of content and
minimal sacrifice.
Perhaps Iam too liberal, perhaps I am dreaming?
I shall be waiting at the Cave to see off and on for this season.
Give a dreamer the right to dream the impossible.
I could write brillant ballads about this.

Embrace that, which you can never reach,
