I speak for myself(though, I'm sure many Ashtanites would agree) when I
say those orphans died for a good cause. Who wouldn't do anything to
Ascend to the ranks of the Divine? Besides, those kids had bad lives.
Who would like it if s/he were on the streets with no food, money, or
family? They are in a better place now, and how they got there was in
the search of knowledge. Good cause, good cause.

As for Ashtan being a "place of Evil," how many times must people be
told? MHALDOR is the city of Evil. ASHTAN is the city of Chaos and
freedom. Get it right.
