Hingar:

Perhaps you will be so kind in answering my questions since you have
seemed very keen to post your eloquent drivel upon our newsboards as of
late.

You claim that you are "sorry" for Thera and that you did not _know_
that meteoring Thera would kill all of its citizens. (Most of all, you
claim ignorance to your crime.) Are our meteors see by the whole entire
land? No. Does it take 4 "mages" to meteor with our skills? No. Does it
kill those who create the meteors? Again, No.

Question # 1-5: (1) What rights did you have to build on Theran soil in
the first place? (2) Do you think you have rights to the land because
you destroyed its leader and its people? (3) What right did you have to
desecrate Ariel's grave? (4) How do you wish to "fix" the Ruins of Thera
when you have NO claim to her land anyways? (5) Why do you think that
Achaeans could not fix the damage that you caused?

Now, you also claim that Estach ended the "ceasefire" with the assassin
of your dummy (meaning, decoy) priest. From what I understand Ashtan
agreed to think about ending the hostilities between us and the Vertani.
You continuously shouted that Ashtan was on the verge of peace with you
without any sort of word from Ashtan on this. Many Ashtani were not
happy with your careless words.

Questions # 6-7: (6) From the posting of the priest's death, several
commodities of rope and wood fell from his corpse, why exactly did he
have the commodities in the first place? (7) What use do the Vertani
have for our commodities?

From the beginning, you have acted like we are child-like barbarians,
that our systems and our leadership do not make "sense" to you. You have
continuously punished many for the acts of a few. That you
believe/worship the Ascendant. You have often side-stepped your reasons
for coming here, or any information on your race at all, besides that
your deaths are PERMANENT.

Questions # 8-11: (8) Who or What is the Ascendant? (9) What are the
beliefs of your religion? (10) Why did you come here? (11) What do you
want with us and our lands?

In closing, I do not see why anyone would trust you or your actions when
the world at large still knows _NOTHING_ and I mean _NOTHING_ about you,
your lands, your skills, or your reasons for invading our realms.
Perhaps, instead of making empty-handed promises, dear diplomat, you
should work on explaining what you have and what you want. Thera may
have been small to you, but it was the birthplace of a great man and
home to people that did not deserve to be annilated by your bloody
hands. You may say that Ashtani "used" Thera and consistently killed her
citizens, but in the same token is that not what they were there for?
All Achaeans kill/bash the denizens and fellow adventurers of this land.
We do NOT destroy their homes however. I, myself, have killed the
citizens of Tasur'ke and Thera. I do not claim to be pure or peaceful.
You dear diplomat, have consistently said that your people are peaceful.

I look forward to your answers, Hingar. I will be most interested in
what you have to say.
