Sapience,

As far as I know Ashtan's orphans are loyal to us, the city of Ashtan,
therefore what we wish to do with them, like enrolling them into our
fabulous orphanage, is within our rights.

Futhermore, we allow those visiting to also make their trips to Ashtan
enjoyable by giving them the option to also enroll our orphans.

However, it is also within our right to enemy, kill, maim, etc. etc.
those who do not respect our laws or citizens within our city. Like
those who insist on "following the Light" and stealing them to enroll
them within the foul quarters of the choirmaster, Handel.

Those that have continued this silly and political debate seem to forget
one thing, THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS OF ASHTAN. We allow people the
priviledge to be within our walls, we also can take away that
priviledge.

So, to summarise, feel free to think/believe whatever you wish about
Ashtan. But, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. The blantant disrespect and blame is
ridiculous. We have our practices and you have yours. Our orphans have
voices, if they wish to use them I am quite sure they will. (I find it
bemusing that so many are willing to speak on the orphans' behalf for
their own self-righteous reasons, not for the orphans themselves. If
things haven't changed since the debate started, why ruin a good thing?)

Feel free to come and visit Ashtan, home of Freedom, we have a beautiful
city and many shops to peruse at your leisure.

Keeping in step with all the political BS,

PS - Erhon is a busy man, so he can't always answer your cries of
injustice. Forgive him if he has a city to run, won't you?
