The shrine in Azdun is dead, yes. I cant tell you how sorry I am. I have asked my guild and I have heard Mistral ask on CT who did it and it would seem the church has enemies in places OTHER than Ashtan. My guild would certainly tell me if they were responsible.
I just had an interesting talk with Maran. It hinged on "here son, have a cookie..." and then slapping the child for eating it. Either the shrines are free for defilement or they are not. If the members of the church wish to make defiling of the unsafe shrines a combat issue, then this guild master for one is all for it. A new war would mean no safe shrines, in fact, no shrines outside of Shallam most likely. A new war would mean a new treaty where our city would have much more to say about the terms. All I can say is, if you want to renegotiate the existing treaty, keep violating the old one until our arhcons release the hounds.

Yes, I smell war. It is like the smell of coffee in the morning. It fills the body with new vigour.
