Wealthy greetings, Aviolana Si'Talvace.

At first, it was my intent to abide by your expressed desire to make
this a private matter, and not a public spectacle, mainly because it is
not the spectacle I seek, but to expose you, Saltaern and Laytron as
individuals who resort to twist and bend their own words and words of
those who are unlucky to find themselves as your opposition, to your
convenience and personal agendas, and have managed to lead once
prosperous Crown Merchants House into its current state of corruption,
elitism and power-mongering.

Those were the main reasons I have decided to withdraw the physical
presence of my Lord from the grasp of your corrupted leadership, first
in a civilized way, through a formal request, which was turned down,
then by a notice that I will remove my Lord' shrine from your House
estate as soon as possible, by any means available to me, which I did,
so you cannot say I didn't held my word on that.

It is not really my business to meddle into the affairs of your House,
indeed, but when your actions reflect on my Lord, wherever He may
physically be at this time, then it is my business to avert those
effects, if possible.
I do not have any interest in paying any attention to the affairs of
your House, now that my Lord' shrine is no longer present in your
Househall, so you can now have your own little sandbox to play in, and
'flourish', like Laytron said.

Now, to the matter of our verbal agreement, if I may. The difficulty
with verbal agreements is that once they're made, it falls upon the
parties involved to keep their words. And I did keep my word I gave to
you then, because, you see, you failed to mention to the general public
the part of our agreement where I specifically stated that your House
will maintain that shrine, with the clause that I have the right to
remove that shrine if after a certain period of time I do not see the
changes you promised when you assumed the leadership in your House.
Since those changes did not take place, I did have the right to remove
the shrine.

Thus, you knew perfectly well what exactly our agreement consisted of,
and knew perfectly well that your House could NOT gain ownership of that
shrine, because shrines ARE Order property, and I NEVER stated that I
can or am willing to turn the ownership of that shrine to you or your
House, because frankly, that is not within my authority. So, you lied
there.

It seems you and Saltaern have tried to make this a personal assault on
my character, due to the way I handled the removal in the end. Indeed,
it is a trickery of the worst kind, because I lied and mislead one of
your House members in order to remove that shrine, but that wouldn't
have happened if you approved my initial request, would it?

Not that I believe Saltaern and you being the best authority when it
comes to judging one's credibility. I have already mentioned Saltaern's
own reputation in my previous post, so I will only direct the citizens
of your fair city to your city newsboard, articles 6859 and 6892 so that
they can be a judge of your character on their own.
I have admitted lying and use of trickery to achieve a goal in a duty my
Lord entrusted me with. When will you admit your lies, Aviolana?

About the question of the security of your Househall, my comment was
made in the intent of pointing out things I thought were gaps in it, but
if you are satisfied with the level of security of your Househall, so be
it, I do not have an interest to comment it any more. But is seems you
don't mind tlaking about the security of your House estate in public,
either.

There is one thing in your post that did stick out, so to speak, when it
comes to the ownership of my Lord shrine, so I will quote you, if I may.

You said: "Indeed, the young woman that you tricked knew you to be the
Head of the Order to which the Shrine belonged, so why would she believe
you would harm your own shrine?", which indicates you were aware to whom
the shrine actually belonged, but then later on, you state: "Due to your
trespassing which resulted in the destruction of what we considered to
be a very valued piece of sentimental property, I hope that you will
never be allowed on Hashan or Merchant soil again."

Now, I have not destroyed my Lord' shrine, as I've tried to explain in
my post to your current House leader, and you referred to my Lord'
shrine as your House' 'piece of sentimental property'? Is that shrine
all to you, a piece of old property?

And yes, my Lord did left me in charge of His Order, and for nearly
seventy years I have managed His Order in His absence, until it was
disbanded. Once my Lord returns, only He can judge me if my management
was as poor and disreputable as you tried to present it, or it was
something else.

Regarding your desire to keep this matter private, you seem to agree
with Saltaern on that, because it appears making this a public matter is
not so convenient to you, for some reason.

And speaking of Laytron, I wonder if he ever explained to the members of
his House, that he is a leader of, wha he kept my second letter to him a
secret, while knowing the risk involved with refusing to approve my
request, and thus endangering his Housemates? Not that it is my business
to know that, I am just being curious.

Lastly, since some citizens of Hashan noted to me that with no shrine of
my Lord both in Hashan or in Crown Merchants Househall, they have no way
to express their devotion to my missing Lord. For them, I have recently
raised a shrine to my Lord at the spot know as Nearing the ocean, on the
way to Tasur'ke, should they wish to offer to Him.


Good fortune to you,
Aecius Pyroboreus, Managing Director, for the former Order of Wealth and
Trade.


P.S. I know you have said you will not respond to any future writing I
make here, but I felt the need to clear out some things you have tried
to make more fitting for your own needs, and that general public should
be aware of. Not that I care if you will respond to my post, or any
private message that might be exchanged between me and you, since from
this point, all of that would contain at least a bit of lie, and
withheld information, a practice not so unfamiliar to you,
unfortunately.
