HELP! HELP! We're being oppressed!

Ahem. Hardly.

To be oppressed is to be kept down, overwhelmed, crushed by an unjust
force or authority.

I would not call...Trance, Poergh, Korlax, Santar or any other half-wit
who decides to trespass...authority figures. I would call them what they
are, (well, besides half-wits) annoyances.

As in, to harass or disturb by repeated attacks.

Yes, we die! and they die! And by the good graces of Maya, we all come
back to do it again!

The fact is that while it is frustrating as hell, their "raids" do us
little real harm.

If self-deception is the one true Sin, then perhaps these raiders (or
should I say sinners) should contact Tekla. Being a nuisance does not
make you significant.

And as a side note to Trance, your attempts to extort gold or credits
from Hashan, her houses, or her citizens is truly amusing. Please stop!
I'm going to split my side open from laughing so hard.

You are wrong, Jaizsur. Hashan is not regressing. I sincerely believe
that our city is the best it's ever been.

Respectfully,
