Remeer wasn't whining, nor was anyone else pointing out fact but fact
often goes right over your head so let me break it down in simpler,
todder-like terms.

Yes, We Know --
------ Mhaldor is a city in which MOST of you could not survive.

------ Mhaldor employs a way of life that is harsh, and challenging. We
would sooner slay one of our own than to have them act like.. well, --
you --
------ We do support slavery, in fact I believe most people by now
realize our CR1 city rank is "Slave" because at the bottom of the
foodchain individuals at CR1 have to defer their opinions to pretty much
everyone and their rights are limited. This is true for all cities,
however, in ours, we don't hide it.

------ We know that Shallam is a city and The Church is an .. um,
organization (I'll be nice) but this um, organization is housed and
greatly supported by Shallam. We also clump anyone -else- who would
support the Church into the term "churchies" who do not reside in
Shallam but lets face it, most of you are Shallamese. Shallamite.
Shallam-ittymittybangbang-whatEVER.
------ The point of his post was -not- that Mhaldor gets slaughtered by
everyone so we want a war with Shallam. That makes about as much as
sense as.. well Anu since you said it I'm sure it makes perfect sense,
to you. However let me clarify this a bit. We don't get slaughtered.
Jhui comes to visit and if he doesn't pierce the veil into the
dragonrealm, or fly away, he dies. I myself got a kill on the Great
Jhui, along with Xenomorph, and Lady Cadiran all within the span of
about 15 minutes last month. Yes, Jhui died 3 times in Mhaldor, last
month, within the span of a quarter of a single Achaean-day. You send
your raiders, and they die. We may lose some guards but ya know what
Anu? Mhaldor isn't hurting for funds, not by the slightest stretch. And
whats even funnier, is when we lose a load of guards, we often get the
gold it would cost to replace them -donated- within the same month so we
don't even have to touch our coffers. You aren't doing anything but
losing your own xp while we laugh at you, gain levels and mock your
beheaded pikes in our courtyards. But I must say, your consistent and
free donations of XP, Essence to the Lords (Jhui alone offered right at
1million points of essence to Evil and Death last month since his corpse
is worth over 350k or so essence each time.) gold and herbs you drop and
the all around good time you provide is much much appreciated. It breaks
the boredom between taunting you and the sleeping and eating that life
requires. I myself am up 5 levels since the heavy fighting started.

------ Complain about Mhaldor. Raid Mhaldor. Hate Mhaldor. Mhaldorians
feed on it. We thrive on the hatred that grows within you. We ache for
the knowledge that you hate us so much, that you'd turn on your own
teachings of goodness, light and peace, to murder, pillage and destroy.
We yearn to watch you suffer relapse again and again at serving us, and
our desires. You do it so often and .. you do it so very well.

------ The point of it all is this. We deal with this fortified hatred
against us every day. Day in, day out. Most of you out there would not
be able to stand it, much less thrive in it and we do. We suffer when we
fail, greatly. We learn from our mistakes and yours. We watch very
carefully how every single fight, raid and incursion happens, why it
happened, how it progressed and how it ended as a manual for success and
each time we learn something. And.. then we grow from it. Would you? Oh
no look at the cases who had to turn from us and move elsewhere, who
could not hack the lifestyle, who are too.. oh, that word again... WEAK
to walk the walk of the Mhaldorian. Think whatever you want, insult us
as you will, pick apart my post and try to undermine it as you will...
the facts remain True. True to the Truths of Lord Sartan. As Honest and
as Common as Death. We live.
