Hail, blessed Acheans! (Oh, and the rest of you, too.)
Let me begin by saying that I hold no qualms with the fact that I am a defender of Death's Heart. I am quite proud of that, as a matter of fact. It has given me a purpose to fight for and has been educational as well.
Educational, you might ask. Well, yes, let me elaborate. Throughout my battles I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of different people. Some good, some not so good, but for the most part it has been enlightening. Let's take a couple in particular, Caerid and Echo. On -many- occasions the Heart has been attacked by these two, and sometimes others as well. Now, I've been convocated five times, two of these had Echo's involvement. Am I mad at her? Nope. Know why? Because it was done -well-. The group defending the heart had vortexed and slain her on earlier occasion, and it was only due cause that she attempt an equivelant action on me. Caerid, as well, has earned my respect. He understands that this is a Jihad and that some things must be taken into consideration. He has immolated the corpses of my friends on occasion, and I've encouraged my confidants to do the same in return for the honourable action. Many times Echo, Caerid and I will sit and speak with one another, graced or not, afte
Now, let's look at the other side. Those people who convocate non enemies who aren't even nearly a threat to them, slay them in cold blood and do it all in the name of their version of honour. I won't go into names, you all know who they are, and I'm certain that they know themselves.
And finally, some closing notes. Sinistar, I applaud you for your post. The infernals have their own definition of honour, and live by it without humiliation or qualms of what others think. Whether I, or anyone for that matter, approve of your Guilds actions is irrelevant, at least you stand up for what you believe in. Oh, and Warmaster, I don't know the situation of what happened between you and Legna, and quite frankly I don't care. However, know that retribution will be made for the slaying of my beloved wife. Convocate me, I beg you. Just be prepared for the 20 or so others who will be following me becuase someone has a pike with your name on it. One final thing, please don't waste my time be replying to this post, I have better things to do.

Thank you all for your time. Be well, Achaea.
