(( OOC: Just a reminder that this is in the RP forums and my char is actually talking IC. He's kami and he's a friend of all nations.
The character of Virg is a two-faced former kami who turned marauder, he needs to take the heat for it. Marauder is fairly opposite to my own allegiance.
Brace for a wall of text. ))
With a sigh, Mjollren takes the yber feather and starts writing again. This time it would be longer, it would be more fleshed out, it would still be in vain for the addressee. Still, a few izams had arrived in Dyron soon after his first open letter went out - showing that there were homins who needed this, someone to put their thoughts into words. So, with a deep breath, he began on a new parchment.
Virg,
I see no reason to disclose my sources of information, nor my means and devices of acquiring said information. Of course, you are free in turn to say I'm wrong and I know nothing, but am I really like that?
My judgments are in the open, and up for anyone to consider their weight; if they are unfounded, they shall be judged so. Should the judgments be baseless, you would not be worrying about them.
Asylum stands for kami and for fyros, I hope you can remember that despite your probable intoxication with goo. You claim you tried to keep the guild together.
Keeping a kami / fyros guild together means precisely one thing, and it's not what you did.
I vividly remember a certain change of season where actual Asylums killed karavan homins in the Roots, despite having accepted their help at first, precisely because the religion meant something to those Asylum members; the very idea to even allow marauders inside the guild would have been laughable and ludicrous back then.
The fact that marauders were allowed in under the guise of friendship, and were allowed to spread their toxic ideas is indeed a sad state of affairs. Whispers about the weakness of kami, dreams of grandeur despite the guild having the most power on the planet.
Maybe you personally did not spread marauder ideas nor did you test the waters towards those ideas. It's a possibility, I admit. Despite the fact that you followed ... maybe you were pressured all along. Is that what you're trying to convey?
Oh, and the perceived lessened strength of the nations? You were in a fyros guild with good fighters, yet you took no action, neither personally nor as an agent in your group. It was only after marauding ideas started pouring that you suddenly remembered about past conflicts and dead people who have been long buried.
You can justify it however you see fit, but again, my reasoning is here in the open : your motives have been built on a desire to fight, on made-up conflict that will weaken nation relations as a side-effect. Also: there is already a group dedicated to fighting kitins and uniting homins - the rangers. I remember complaints they did not have enough fluffers for you, and even expected you to read meeting minutes if not join them from time to time; outrageous, ain't it?
The marauder chapter took, at most, half the active homins from its former guild. We could pretend we're blind and Asylum doesn't have more people who are currently wandering the wilds and who will surely return home, to their guild that is kami and fyros, sure; still, the great feat was to convert half the guild.
Asylums will come home to a significantly weaker guild of course, because people who already enjoyed discretionary usage of their outpost materials also stockpiled for a while in spite of their faction, and at the end stole the better part of them. Just regular business for marauders, I suppose.
So, to end this : enjoy your marauding days, I do mean it, maybe you'll live long enough to see some god's light again.
But you remain a marauder, and in this light, your contributions regarding politics or nation life will amount to nothing more than a pile of mek dung!
