I did not try and justify it to you, nor the world, I just tried
to convey to everyone what Szanthax feels. Who am I to say that
he is wrong, and that the world is not really part of his Empire?
Who am I to say that if we all obeyed his thoughts on how to live
in the lands that he claims life would be not be blissfilled?
I am not anyone that has a right to tell Szanthax how to and not
to live his life. That is my point. I am a city leader, and I
only rule when it concerns one citizen facing another, or when it
has to do with my city against an organization. You are the ones
that insisted on clumping all of Ashtan in this, and if you insist
on breaking Ashtan's laws you will all be treated as any other
group or city that breaks them.
Was I not clear in that? Maybe your superior logic and superior
race don't understand the ideals behind the freedom of thought and
action? I know, and I understand that he probably deserves most of
what he will get coming to him, I am just stating that you are free
to punish him as you see fit, but if you, as an organization, break
Ashtan's laws you will reap the consequences yourselves.
