Reyn,

I cannot but resist asking, would not the offering of this Vertani Mage
be a fitting offering to Raksha Makali, The Destroyer, Patron of the
Bastion of the North? Surely She does not consider the spoils of battle
filfth and would revel in the extra strength her patroned city gave to
her...

I hear already that you will respond that all Ashtan citizens are free
to do as they please but surely given that these Vertani - at least from
your Archon's and Leader's points of view - have illegally invaded
Ashtan, surely they would appreciate your offering to the patron of The
Bastion of the North.

Perhaps it is not my place to ask, but I will ask, surely the Bastion of
the North will not allow so much blood to flow, with so much essence to
be had only to be frittled away as the filth of battle to a humgii?
