Now then,

I wish you all to know that my post was not meant in degradation of the
occultist's guild or in degradation of the infernal's guild. Both guilds
are fully justified in their vehemence over landmarks. Both guilds, just
as the Church have every right to be out there giving their every effort
to sway the landmarks into their particular persuasion. As any
intelligent person can see, I showed both the annoying parts and good
parts of each respective side. Shallam enjoys using deliver to 'run'
away from people, as do Ashtanite's by any and all means. Death is
something no one in achaea enjoys and whoever says they like it is lying
just to be a pest.

As we look at my post, I was demonstrating how each side handles the
landmarks. The Church, which everyone can tell lacks enthusiasm over
landmarks because of the pain that's been inflicted on them by
non-necromancers.



Why you ask?
-Andelas killed them far more than they deserved.
-Legion of the Damned pursued church members far away from landmarks (as
did some Shallamites)

-Tranquility hunted down and pursued -all- people be it for touched him,
dropping rites, or delivering a churchmate away from danger. (Which
you'll notice they have to do at cost of guild punishment)

/*NOTICE** These are just the big turnoffs for landmarking. Tranquility
and Andelas reaped punishments in excess of 5 fold punishment where very
few mortals on are such a combative level.

Ashtanites would **purposely** run into a room full of church members
and isolate one of them hoping to get a lucky kill. Their true motive
was to provoke numerous other church members into attacking them to
provide them with excuses to kill them numerous times.

Now, to all those who are going to hunt me for illuminating this fact to
the public. Both sides are conniving and low when it comes to
fabricating reasons for murder and butchery. How do I know this, long
ago I was guilty of it. Since then I have seen the likes of Irontounge,
Andelas, Lipe, Tranquility, Usteir, Antarax, Jack, the list goes on and
on. The sickening part is 80-90% of these offenders are NOT related to
essence or devotion. Landmarks provide reason for murder, so they
immerse themselves in it intentionally with no true regard to how the
landmarks turnout, they just want to kill. I wanted the mortals, the
gods, to know and see in writing what people view the landmarks as.

Xerimor, you are indeed a powerful occultist and your remarks are true,
you are not what you used to be. But as people remind me all day
everyday you cannot change your spots overnight. Believe me, I know. For
once in my life I am walking away from mortal combat. Do the Gods
believe me? No, they think I'm blowing smoke. Do the mortals believe me?
No, they think I'm using this as a change to attain levels I couldn't as
a warrior. To be honest, I don't care what you believe my intentions
are. My Patron knows my intentions, I know my intentions, and those
close to me know. They know my intentions are true, and in time all of
you will. Pursue me if you wish I care not.

Plain and simple. I do not fight for Shallam any more nor do I fight to
uphold their ideals. No one wins, everyone loses. You die, Sarapis
resurrects you only to throw your life away countless times. I kill
Andelas and Tranquility, Sarapis resurrects them, and they pursue me
just as they did before. No ground is gained no ground is lost, fighting
the eternal war of Good versus evil to me is a curse and burden I wish
not to bear any more. If I ever raise my hand in violence it shall be to
answer my Patrons call and other severe situations. Violence is no
longer my priority.
