My turn

Written by: Lord Buckthorn, Medicine Man
Date: Sunday, December 14th, 1997
Addressed to: Aeschylus, the Unmoved


A "corrupt Druid"? Pray tell, what in the name of the gods of Achaea does that mean?
I am corrupt because I help my friends, who happen to be your enemies?
Am I then not corrupt when I help my friends who also happen to be your friends?

I hope you could enlighten me to your thought process on this one, to point to some actions, or some words, that would brand me "corrupt" in some way.
To aid you in your search, I give you these words, from Sarapis, as to the Druids purpose: "they spend much of their time tending to the forests around them and preparing healing concoctions for themselves and their allies."
And the very next line: "the Druids should not be mistaken for pacifists that will lie down when challenged."

Now, as to your referrences to your actions in your article, I ask this: Why is it your business as to what I do, or anyone for that matter you are not directly involved with, especially when you claim it is not Changcoix's business that
you attack Servelan?

And finally, now, both yourself and Gawain have admitted to actions that would deem you no more innocent, than anyone else in the land, with your professed attack on Krissandra, and Gawain's unprovoked assault on myself some time ago.

I dont think it wise to aver yourself as a great protector of innocents, when you choose which innocents to protect, and which to slaughter. It's a half-truth at best.

Penned by my hand on the 17th of Phaestian, in the year 179 AF.
