As our Overseer so nicely put we are benevolent. Even today I aided a young man lost in the wilderness whom was starving brought him to the safety of Ashtan and at my own personal cost fed him. I even aided him in slaying rats and showed him where t
o
take the vermin to receive money. None of which I had to do, but being a the benevolent leader I am I took upon myself to aide him. Now during this time I noticed two priests on, neither of which made an attempt to aide the yougster.
On the subject of the church, we do allow religous freedom in Ashtan, this includes those who may worship pagan beliefs, or even those who worship nature itself. We do not tolerate tyrannical preaching of the church in Ashtan, as the church once trie
d to
dominate all with its laws to better its members. Furthermore I have been approached by the serpentlords stating that a shrine has been erected in Hashan, the Serpents came to us in peace and thus the Empire offers its protection to them. All shrine
s
are to be confined to the Isle of Delos, these shrines are evil and used for the sole purpose of slaying innocents. If they were not than why must they be erected all over Achaea, surely the catherdal is large enough to house them. Finally to Rip
Servelan is Overseer of Ashtan it is her decision on whether you have been justly warned or not.
