The battle between Shallam and Mhaldor, claims of unfairness in war
completely aside. I your title quite apt Duane, but it implies shallam
is always stuck with one hand in a punching manuever. Is this a
diplomatic statement or a muscle spasm?

To also walk around and personally garuntee death and distruction to
someone who isn't ultimate evil a teensy bit tarnished, but of course.
Candor and behaviour isn't any indication of alignment or belief.
Neither is the use of violent threats at all in any way related to the
political behaviour or standpoint of yourself and city.

Dethea, it is so nice to see you posting too. I have to admit I too,
find myself raising my eyebrows to a knight requesting international war
to be begun over a mere set of totem, then again. What kind of claim is
being made when Mhaldor places such totems out of their city-state?, as
Shallam? Is the war formal or informal, skirmish or eternal
dispute..spilling out? If indeed I am to understand this debate, these
totems illegal or not, are being placed outside of what is known as
territory. is this a claim of land or territory beyond established
boundaries? Or merely defence of land or perhaps, as you have mentioned
before I belive, you cannot convince your citizens to act in any
particular way. Needless to say, the other cities watch with interest as
always.

and lastly dear Jules, I would ask you to inspect the honour in
requesting the citizens of the world, many who do not know you, the
position, or danger they could encounter by undertaking your actions. I
find it personally something unexpected of any knight who would call
themselves a lady or sir. It might be an exciting proposition, but it's
certainly not the one with much forethought.
