Landmarks

Well, having seen all the recent posts about the landmarks, I
figured it would be time for me to throw my two sovereigns in on
the issue.
There are, if one counts, nine Landmarks in the land. Nine. Not
Eight. Not Ten. The fact that there are an odd number of
landmarks seems to say fairly clearly to me that there wasn't
meant to be a fifty-fifty split. These Landmarks were instituted
as a form of scorekeeping atwixt Good and Evil. I for one, don't
really see think we're doing justice to the Logos in trivializing
the work He has put into this, by simply having a nice truce
to try to split up the landmarks.
We are meant to fight over these. Yes, we've been given a
glorius oppurtunity to engage in the supreme test of a being...
Combat. While I'm not going to go heavy on the pro-War stuff,
I think that the fools who ask for peace are, well, fools. Every
Achaean has some degree of combat training, save the very
young. One cannot trust the other side in such a piece, as the
capability to cause harm is abundantly there... the side that
breaks the truce will win the combat. Now, I'm sure many of you
will plead, "I wouldn't do that!" Be that as it may, the person who
deep in his heart would have no scruples about it, would chime in
with his innocence just as loud as the next person.
Also, for the more obvious, if we don't fight over the landmarks,
we have to come to an agreement. That was sort of discussed
earlier.
