First of all you no longer deserve the honour to wear the title of
Jaguar Black as you are no longer a Sentinel warrior.


And indeed you said it right, only a few Eleusian warriors assist
Shallam or the Church on their own behalf, to assist their personal
friends or family, for their own personal reasons. Never have I heard
any orders of Eleusian leadership to assist Shallam.

Ashtan calls itself or used to call itself the city of freedom? Isn't
Eleusis giving its members more freedom to choose their battles?


And Grandue spoke of the Sentinel bounty system. Indeed we had bounties
and as you showed during your time with us it has many flaws and has now
been placed on hold for some time already, around the time you left, to
revise it.
But these bounties were never focussed on Ashtani people or any special
group. It was only pointed towards those who had harmed Nature or had
stolen from Forestals. And yes, many felt the wrath of Nature while
minding their own business or raiding Shallam or Cyrene or harming more
forest. But only as a result of their initial crime or actions.
Some of the allies or some individuals of the Ashtani army that are
enemies of Nature will always draw attention from warriors of Nature.
And one of the reasons we stopped the bounty program and a concern
brought up by many was bounties paid during raid situations in other
cities. Concerns brought up already when you headed the bounty program.
But this indeed the responsibility of the entire Sentinel leadership. No
system will be perfect.


So enough about our internal kitchen, this has nothing to do with this
war.


So what you ask Eleusis is to forbid its villagers to fight for their
personal beliefs, friends and family if the attack happens outside
Eleusis?
I remember times I knew Sentinels and Eleusians with lots of friends and
allies in Ashtan or Sentinels from Ashtan. But Ashtan made that
impossible now.



And I know these words can be twisted and turned around and used against
us. But this is just a personal view of an old Sentinel from Eleusis.
