Addressed to: Cold-Blooded Occultist Kruldar Gront, the Paradox Incarnate


I tried to keep the insults out of it, as any scholar would.
I even took what you said as holding a certain degree of
intelligence, but you really can't argue a point without
attacking someone personally, it seems. You -may- be a scholar,
but you are certainly not the dazzling writer you think you
are.

That said, I think I have a theory to present to Achaea.

The reason Occultists consider themselves scholars (and we
know how few of them really are) is because when they argue,
they can present any view they want, no matter how contradict-
ory it is with even the last thing they say, and when it is
pointed out or they are called hypocrites, they can say, "Well,
we don't take any oaths or we never say we are one or another,
so we can do or say whatever we want."

I can have no respect for someone who has no real goal for
gathering the knowledge, and then just using it to manipulate
others. I consider myself a scholar. I have no problems with
learning about everything and anything. But the practice of
necromancy is a sin in and of itself, though not necessarily
one worthy of death. Until you act like Kruldar, that is,
who whines about the shrines we put up and how we 'force' him
to kill innocents to tear it down.

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Valnuary, in the year 253 AF.
