Greetings Occultists,

I am writing this on public mainly because I can no longer write on the
boards of the guild I held close to my heart for a very long time.

Lately I have been hearing rumours of why I have left the guild. Each
getting more and more hurtful and unbelieveable. I want to clairify why
I left and why I choose the life I now lead.

First off all, I did not leave like Ikne is now claiming because I hate
the Occultists and am trying to destroy them. Nor did I leave because
Ikne wouldn't let me be HoN or some utter nonsense like that.

I left because I was unhappy and had been for a long time. Ask anyone
who I am close too and they will tell you I had been upset within the
guild for quite a long time. Most of my anger and hurt was caused by the
same person who still now is trying to inflict it upon me. My once good
friend Ikne. His quest for power and control began to scare me and
eventually I realised I need to leave before I was torn to pieces.

I had no desire to leave you all. You were my family. My home. I have
nothing against any of you except prehaps now Ikne. I know he has told
you that I am against you and the guild. But it's all lies. What reason
do I have to hold something against you? Have you seen me do anything
other than my actions towards Ikne that indicate it?

It's hurts me a lot to believe people I worked so hard for and with
could believe I would be so malicious to hold non-existant grudges. I
may have had a gripe or two with some of you at some point but nothing
which not worked out.

Please use your head and your hearts while thinking about this. Thinking
of what has happened to the guild since Ikne became GM. All the people
who have left, to weak from the hurt to go on in the guild. Think of all
the changes. Think of all the war and disruption which is now part of
the Occultists guild. It saddens me, it really does.

May the Divine bless your wary souls,
Brooke Amaratha
