Greetings Sapience,

As the Jaru Conflict between Mhaldor and Shallam heightens, a vast
hypocrisy has been noticed by myself. In these past posts, each of the
factions' reasoning for being involved in the conflict has been
expressed clearly and numerously. (Before we continue let me just add
that I do not support either side in this conflict.) Mhaldorians are
simply tired of being attacked in neutral Jaru while the Shallamese are
just doing their part to protect the innocent.
However, the question is raised my head; Why do not the Shallamese
protect all the innocents of Sapience if they are protecting Jaru for
solely that reason? Why, also, do they slaughter other innocents because
they are perceived as "evil" by a choice few?
Case in point is Maim de Vermiis. She is slaughtered regularly by
Shallam and/or the Church. Why is this? What ill act has she performed
against you? What travesty has she commited that has violated your very
well-being? None, I say! She is a lonely, aging woman whose one wish in
life is to have the loving companionship of her dear newphew Patrick.
Why would you deny such an honorable request? Is it because you have a
biased opinion on who should receive justice and punishment? Who is good
and evil? I think so and it occurs to me that you should rethink your
world views before you go barging into "protecting the innocent" as you
slaughter others.
Once again, I do not support Mhaldor nor do I condone the slaughter of
innocents. I just believe that this is an issue that Shallam and the
Church needs to address within and without itself.

Sincerly,
Noktal Tatharin
