Lo-da'i, Sapience.

To anyone who might be under any misconception as to just what Eleusis is, let me clarify.

Eleusis is the heart of Nature. A theocracy under Lady Gaia's rule. The Earthmother may at any time alter our policies, procedures, and any scriptures as written.

Amongst the many follies of mortals is the speed with which debate and discussion may reach the masses, and under no circumstance do we claim that policies, once written, shall remain unchanged eternally.

We also live in hope that mortals can act with common sense, and in reference to "so long as they do not act to aid civilisation", take heed. Any known House other than the Heartwood Kin and the Scions of the Ithmia clearly aid civilisation in one way or another.

Whatever the Earthmother decrees, Her people will act. We may not follow blindly, there may be debate and dissent even from within, but those who are unable to follow Her guidance are offered the door should they wish to step through it.

Whether it swings back for them later is another matter entirely.

As for any attack dogs who snarl at the sight of blood - feel free to attempt to hunt down those who have any interest in causing harm. If this is solely the Earthmother in this case, I wish you luck.

In Service to Nature,
