I once had respect for Mistral, as she seemed an honest (well, relatively so. One must take what one can get in a pit like Ashtan.) leader. Her post clearly demonstrates that this isn't the case.

Ashtan respecting Thera's independence? That's a laugh. This is at least the third time that Ashtan has attempted to take over Thera in the last 75 years. You regularly kill and abuse our citizens when you're not attempting to oppress us.

To all those who lack the mental capability to see the difference between Ashtan and Shallam, let me sum it up for you very succinctly. Ashtan tramped in, murdered our leaders, and has now made us into slaves. Shallam offered to assist in rescuing us, for which we are quite grateful. Their record of trying to help the oppressed of the land is admirable. So, to spell things out for the truly stupid: We didn't invite Ashtan in, and not a _single_ Theran citizen wants Ashtan here. I challenge Ashtan to produce a single citizen of Thera that supports the murdering of our beloved Mayor and the occupation of our homeland by Ashtan. You will not find any, because there aren't any.
