The premiere poets and bards in the land happen to be Occultists and Shadowsnakes, and I rarely seem them in your temple. If you really wish to protect the poets and bards, I am sure those talented Occultists and Shadowsnakes will in the future enjoy the favours you will undoubtedly heap upon them as a patron of the arts. Indeed, one of the gods the Occultists pay homage to is our sleeping brother, Scarlatti, God of the Arts, who gifted the Occultists with the wonders of Tarot.

In any event, it is quite obvious your temple is being used as a staging ground for military maneuvers, albeit retreats. Indeed, no one is fooled that your temple has become nothing more than a haven for the pathetic rather than a refuge for those who truly follow peace. Simply put, either you are actively interfering in feuds and wars by offering military advantages, or you are allowing mortals to make a fool of you by abusing your powers. Rather than coyly trying to hide behind the lie that your temple is filled with "peaceful people", show some backbone and actually make a stand as a god of war or stop the abuse of what is allegedly supposed to be a peaceful refuge.
