THERANS TALK BACK JUSTICE VS HERALD ISSUES submitted by Rilea ----------------------- I am of course Rilea, I write this for Grathin by his request. All of the following are in his words, obviously penned by me. It is a treatise on responsibility. What one does as a member of a certain cabal reflects upon the entire cabal. Thus when one explores actions with negative consequences, the entire cabal must suffer these consequences. When young Runath blatantly attacked young Lyvia within the Walls of Seringale. I suggested that he turn himself in. For such would be the proper action in regards to the relations between the Justices and the Heralds. However, he refused such an action. I continued to warn him that his refusal to do this would result in reprimands of the Herald cabal as a whole. Of which he is representative. He tells me that he does not care. I proceed to warn him of the consequence, that the Wilderness shall comprise of Herald corpses if he continued this path of action. Yet, he does not heed what it is I speak. Thus, I find him in Valour and apprehend him there. Though his actions, and thus my actions, have already been decided. The first is a solution which shall be beneficial to both parties. He knows nothing of responsibility nor consideration. He is unfit to be an unbiased scribe. The other option is for me to fulfill my promise. I will line the Wilderness with corpses of Heralds until Runath acknowledges the error in his thought and judgment. He is to understand the liability he holds to his halls with his actions. Such is a graver choice, but it holds a more valuable lesson. SINCERITY submitted by Grathin --------- Apparently, sincerity is not a trait that is well known of Heralds. When the clause for redemption is honesty, a line such a "utmost apologies for whatever it was I did" is a wrench within the wheel of progress. Since Runath obviously feels no guilt on the matter, let us change the topic. My relations with Heralds have been most superb prior to this incident, and thus, it was only with disgust that I asked Rilea to pen my note. If I had been more at ease, I would have written it myself. Therefore, since Runath shows no care for the Laws of Thera, it is my request that he learn of them. As an honest show of sincerity, I would like an article written for the next Mystique entitled 'The Pertinence of Law, and the reasons they must be Obeyed' written by Runath. I would request that I be allowed to proofread the article for accuracy and content. If he will not see his own faults for his lack of responsibility, may he at least inspire other Citizens to hold theirs. OUR RESPONCE TO GRATHIN by Runath ------------ There is nothing I have even done that goes against the spirit of Heralds, there are two guiding principles in fact that tell us not to shy away from good fights, and to feel free to fight back and slay whoever picks a fight. These guidelines are close to my core values, as well. I will generally be peaceful in town whenever Justice is actually present to protect it, because there will not be people trying to murder me. But if I am forced to defend myself because they aren't, then so be it. If Justice made a better habit of entering Thera in middle of fights, I might be more wary, but unfortunately it was a freak occurrence that got me flagged this time. It was my belief that the Justice cabal did not operate in extortion. Yet it is clear to me that Grathin has both attempted to extort an apology out of me, and when he was not satisfied with what he got, he now wishes to extort his own column in the Mystique, bearing my name. If it is perception Grathin cares about, then he should take more care of the way he makes his own cabal look. If it is peaceful relations Grathin cares about, then he should be satisfied with what he has received, instead of making more demands. Whats ironic is Grathin is doing things he doesnt want to do, to make me do things that I have no wish to do. But I have a simple resolution for that. If he wishes to be happy with what I pen about Justice in the future, then he has my permission to dictate to Rilea what I should say, and send it there on my behalf. From this point on, I shall only listen to what the gods and Vanisse have to say about my conduct. (Continued in talkback2) |
