Greetings Sapience,

The Warlocks guild will not respond to public posts, and so they shall
not. I write in defense of me and my own actions as well as in an
attempt to rectify the situation that my posts have caused. A number of
personal attacks have been made against Jack, but I will not attempt to
respond to those that have no bearing on the subject at hand.

First, I wish it to be known that I was one of several secretaries
present when Jack consulted the guild about the action he was
contemplating taking. While it did not represent the whole of the guild,
his action did not come entirely of his own will. I hope that Jack
continuing his current position as Guildmaster of the Warlocks does not
truly become a hinderance to the creation of a new treaty, as the treaty
is with the guild and not the person. If you are ever in doubt of
whether or not he has consulted the guild, ask me directly, I do not lie
when there is nothing to lie about.

As is painfully obvious, I wrote that post at the request of Jack. Of
course, last I checked, I am a guild SECRETARY. With an otherworldly
equivalent to the Atavian Dictionary found in the mountains, I come to
know that I have certain responsibilities which include aiding my guild
in a number of ways, one of which often includes writing. And so I have
fulfilled my secretarial duties. I am not so poor, nor so miserly, nor
so pathetic as to ask for payment for duties which I have willingly and
earnestly taken upon myself. And for future reference, public posts cost
1000 gold each, which means my 2 posts come
to...*ponder*...2x1000....2000 gold total.

For those of you that have come to doubt my ability for personal thought
and action and believe me to be a puppet that Jack pulls the strings of,
feel free to ask me about the Shallam incident, and come to know the
truth of the incident and what went on in my own mind as I was enemied
from Shallam and, within a day, unenemied. It is, by popular opinion of
my guildmates, something of an amusing event, but that is a story for an
entirely separate posting.

Insofar as the post I made previously goes, it was an attempt to
expedite the creation of a treaty which all the mages guilds of Sapience
agree to. If you believe the members of the Warlocks Guild to be so poor
in money, class pride, and intelligence as to sell or create those
enchantments which were agreed upon to be illegal, then perhaps you
should think a while longer until some epiphany should strike you, since
it seems only divine intervention would be of aid to you. It was a
bluff, and it pains me to see the guildmaster and the guildmistress of
the two largest mages guilds in Sapience to not only completely be blind
to it, but also to retaliate with personal attacks upon myself as well
as the Warlocks Guild in general and to play an eye for an eye instead
of working to solve the actual problem at hand.

To that end, and in an attempt to rectify a somewhat hectic occasion
which I seem to have brought about, I would like to reiterate that the
Warlocks Guild is ready and willing to accept any treaty proposed so
long as we have a say in said treaty. I would suggest that, simply as a
starting point, we begin with the idea of a pricing system based both on
the difficulty of the item's creation as well as on the popularity of
the item in question. We all know how frustrating it is to create a
complex item only to sell it for slightly more than the price of the
comms themselves. But we also realize that some easy-to-create items are
among the most often bought of enchantments.

I would suggest that the mages guilds of Sapience consult their
shop-owning/enchantment-selling members and determine a rough estimate
of how much they believe their creations could sell for given the
current demand for each item. This information will then be taken into
account in the final pricings of the items. I strongly urge the mage
guilds of Sapience to use the clan created for just such discussions or
private messagings/tells and create a new treaty as soon as possible,
rather than make more personal attacks.

Best Regards,
Secretary of the Warlocks, Glor
