Rhakshai,

I have seen more years' apon this planet than you. Do not lecture me on
Mhaldorian History . . . I was there for all of what you said, witnessed
it first hand. The hatred spans back decades further than you implied.
In truth, you missed out vast sections of knowledge, but your selective
approach to the past is an old Foristal trick. The current problems are
imbedded under many years of lies and half-truths, many of which have
been spun by your power hungry faction over the years.

You composed a vast history lesson, bombarding the general public with
truths they already know, truths that have already been washed into
their brains. You create a 'safe zone' for your views to be aired. With
the information they are already comfortable with, you build a pulpit to
the design specifications set down by Forestal ruling elite's.
Specifications tried and tested over the numerous decades of Mhaldorian
scapegoating that your authorities have seen and instigated with such
zeal and dedication.

I think a wise man once said, that if you show people a familiar truth,
they will love you for it. But to expose them to something new, they
will only hate you even more.

Who are you, to lecture me on my own specialised field of expertise? How
dare you tell me what did or didn't happen, then /or/ now!

"The Shrine Alliance of Gods did in fact smite Lord Sartan and land the
mountain on Him."

You yourself admit it, but gloss over the truth with arrogant sneers
dripping with leafy self-righteous ignorance. The Alliance created the
Mists, how can you still denie this?

Who out of the two of us, has dedicated countless years of backbreaking
research into the Red Mists and the vegetation that inhabits Mhaldorian
territory? Not you, most certainly not you. Who even earned Lord Sartans
favour apon the publication of his latest findings apon this subject,
again . . . not you.

A few quick corrections - The mists bubbled over the Vashnars and into
the east because of the shear quantity of essence that was released. The
mists eventually dissipated over the main lands due to Alliance activity
and natural meteorological processes. It remained over Mhaldor because
of a natural pooling effect the mountains and surrounding water creates.

The Sartai did /not/ actively aid in any shape or form the spread of the
Red Mists. Their essence went directly to The Lord to aid in his
resurrection and second ascendance.

Yes, we in Mhaldor found (and still fiend) the Red mists effect apon
your beloved twigs highly entertaining. Or, more to the point, we enjoy
the way you and your kind run around screaming bloody hatred with tear
choked voices. Hours of fun to be had by all, even if I do say so
myself.

Good day, young 'un.
