Father, I must ask you to cease and desist from your generalizations
regarding the Ashtani citizenry.

We here in Ashtan, we like to define ourselves as...having free-thinking
attitudes towards others. We're not bound to be allies with only
so-and-so, or only raid against so-and-so. If some of us want to assist
Mhaldorian raids, we're more than welcome to. If others want to assist
Shallamese raids, we're a bit confused but do not disallow it. Because
of this open-mindedness amongst us, it is rather insulting for you to
generalize the entire city's populous as Shallamese-aiding.

And I apologize if you feel we Ashtani would choose Shallam or Eleusis
over Mhaldor. Some of us simply weren't present for the raid. Sorry,
Father.
