Many of the guilds have stated "causes", and surely no one here is free
from some aspiration or another. The Priests and the Paladins have their
gods, and the Maldaathi and the Apostates have theirs. The Runewardens
have their city and us forestals have our nature. The Occultists have
their chaos, and we all have our honour. The majority of rogues follow
with these ideals, and only a few bad apples abuse their power,
overharvesting the forests or letting their falcons die. With this, why
must there be such animosity towards the unguilded? This has more than
the effect of ringing in the ears of the many, it weakens every guild
when energy is focused upon those who ought to be friends. We should
embrace these people as comrades, not scorn them as traitors.
