Greetings,

So this is what Shallam has come to- trying to stop the trade of those
who are not even aligned, allied, or even have any business with the
City of the Light. They're beginning to enemy anyone just for doing
honest trade. Quite interesting!

Now, isn't it a merchant's right to sell his merchandise to anyone he
pleases? Besides, what business does Shallam have with to whom and where
a merchant does his business when the merchant is not a citizen of your
city? In fact, I've seen many Shallamese forestalls selling their
products to Mhaldorians, and I'll be more than happy to give you the
list of names. But, what will be done? Nothing, the same excuse: they
have been blessed and cleansed; now they are pure. So carry on with your
selling... That is what always has been happening. I pray that I am
wrong, but, that was the last response that I got when I inquired about
the situation few years ago.

Also, perhaps you should enemy every single shop owner in Sapience who
doesn't ban Mhaldorians or the city enemies from purchasing their wares,
which, by the way, includes several Shallamese and Church members.. Oh
the dilemma.

This is coming to no more than childish play. Give child a knife and see
what will happen, in fact, this IS what is happening. Shallam is and the
Anointed (and dont tell me they are separate anymore when that is
becoming more and more apparently false) is abusing its authority and
imposing it on every single Free soul that inhabits the Sapience.

And, another question surfaces- what is the rationale for making Llyod
an enemy. Oh, yes... he was aiding Cain. Thats right. Sir Antonius
explained it so well. But I refer the kind reader to the paragraphs
above where I could list many Shallamese of selling products to bad
persons for profit. Maybe he was enemied for no more than being a
Citizen of Hashan that the Church oh so righteously invaded and burnt
books? Perhaps they use Cain as an excuse to extend the War a bit more?

Sincerely,
Kotyonok Xanatov

P.S. Only those of Shallam try to silence others, ironic, isn't it?
