Kaelin,

Your stupidity once again amazes me. You're like the boy who was told to
jump by his friend and you asked how high. You are a mindless slave to
Sartan, the Hated. Sinister motives are not Oakstone's practice, but
that of Mhaldors. You complain about our defenses, yet you rule a city
that enemies for simply walking near it.

What, exactly, is sinister about a map stating the location of all
approved shrines? And why would it need to be made public? You have
proclaimed time and again that you don't give a rat's ass about
Oakstone's Laws. Yet you think you have the authority to dictate to us?
I think not. The map, internally, would be used to easily tell if a
shrine is approved or not. In your hands, and the hands of your mindless
companions, you would use the map to seek out and destroy approved
shrines for your own cruel amusement.

"it is really Oakstone's attempt to further controll the world"

What, exactly, do we control, "Lord" Kaelin?

Oakstone makes a _recommended_ pricelist. We cannot enemy those who
break it. The Forestal Guilds have adopted it as there own, but that is
no different then a Serpent Pricing List or the Magi Price list.

We enemy those who exterminate/inferno. You harm nature, you get
enemied. Don't harm nature, don't get enemied. It's really quite simple.
It's even easy enough that you should understand it Kaelin.

We enemy those who overharvest. You have claimed for years now that
overharvesting doesn't harm Nature. Yet if plants are continuosly
harvested to nothing, none will be left. The minimums are in place for a
reason. And, quite frankly, it's not that hard to obey them. Out of a
room with 60 plants, anyone with the ability can pick 50 of them.
Overharvest multiple times and get enemied. The only people who seem to
overharvest frequently are the same group who are lazy and rely on such
things as 'autoharvestors' to partake of Nature's bounty.

So, I ask you, Kaelin, what do we control? We're not Mhaldor, hellbent
on world domination of control (see ass kicking delivered by the Great
Mhunna recently) - perhaps, instead, you are feeling weak and so decided
to lash out against what was once the easiest prey, since the beginning
of Sapience, the weakest target. Only, to your surprise, you realized
that we have teeth and we kicked your ass as well. It really sucks to be
you, doesn't it Kaelin? You're in a city that can't win a fight to save
your life and yet you want oh so badly to be the big bully on the block,
only everyone in Sapience has called your bluff.
You want the world to get off your back a little, Kaelin? Admit you're
weak and work to strengthen yourself internally. You should be pretty
damn strong according to Lord Sartan's "Truths" since we all know the
world has imposed quite a few external hardships on Mhaldor. But then
again, I never quite believed His truths to, in fact, be true.

You can reply with your typical Mhaldorian propaganda, any of you. But
know that I won't respond or even read them, as I've heard it all before
and your incessant chattering gets annoying. Also note that I don't
think all Mhaldorians are fools. There are some very intelligent people
in Mhaldor. People like Yig, Watchman, and Caine, who my respect for
grows each and every day. Mhaldor needs leaders like this, not fools
like Kaelin who show up once a year to post an insult or two and
proclaim themself to be evil.
