Real simple. Did it or did it not say there would be no defiling of the shrines listed in the treaty?
I believe there were protected shrines in the treaty. Now, have they been defiled at any time since the treaty has been enacted?
Ah yes they have. So has Ashtan upheld the treaty to the fullest?
Imagine that, they have not. And you're right, your actions and those of your citizens have spoken louder than your words.
