Greetings to you, Rothmore.

I would dare to say I disagree with your statement that the people of
Aetolia are its driving force. I would direct your attention to the
scroll entitled, "Help Varian", wherein it states:

"Varian, the Satus is the origin of all Creation. All that is, was, and
will be is thanks only to His Divine Will. Before the universe existed,
there was simply Varian. He was Creation, and Creation was Him. In a
desire to experience multiplicity and the complex interactions of
individuals, He created the universe and this world."

Therefore, I would put forth the argument that without Varian, none of
us would be able to exist at all. He, not the people, hold all of the
power and the driving force of Aetolia. By His Will, the other Divine
were brought into existance and by His Will, and His alone, we are
priviledged to enjoy this world that we cherish.

I would be interested in arguing this philosophical point with you in a
more private venue.

Simply,
Lady Rosalind Snowbringer
