Especially to the Shallam Government

Greetings Lords and Ladies,

It has been brought to my attention that an Order sister of mine is
being charged for Treason and violating rules of Shallam for joining my
Father's Order, which you have state as 'Evil'. How can that be? It is
not like he is Lord Sartan, who IS the Lord of Evil, in which things of
an evil nature are born from his will. Father is Neutral, if anything.
The love of The Hunt is what He brings us mortals. And not just in the
meaning a lot of you beleive, that it revolves around the hunting down
and slaying mobs or others. It is more than that, at least which I view
and understand from my own mortal mind.

The Hunt, which Father does represent and the way I view it, mostly is
that of hunting other creatures, but also a smaller part represents some
of us mortals strive to succeed and prosper in the political, personal
and business aspects of our lives.

I would also like to know how a group of mortals have determined the
ethos of a Divine Power, who has never shown one inkling or another
towards being good or evil. Unless one of Shallams Patrons has informed
you, I do beleive making such a deceision without Divine Guidance to be
fall under the works of Blasphemy, Hubris and Disrespect of a God.

Blasphemy is most commonly defined as a contemptious act or writing
concerning the sanctity of a God. Did you not do that in reguards to
Father's Order? Proclaiming that we are all evil because he does not
fall into the tradition view of good and evil which is easy to
distinguish as black and white?

Hubris is usually defined as overbearing pride or presumption. You have
labeled Father's Order as Evil without asking him if he is or not. I am
mortal and do not know how my Father would view the question, but if
phrased correctly and WITH respect, and the reason why it is being
asked, he may shed to you what He views himself as, and perhaps why.

Disrespect of a God, the phrase is self explanatory. You have made a
judgement on the Divine based on mortal views and ideals. I was raised
to beleive that mortals should never challenge the Gods as to their
spheres of influence. I do view the Holy Church of Achaea has done just
that.

Sir Morkael Thelsum, Lupine Blade

P.S. I do wish to emphasize to all that I pen this response with the
utmost reverence and respect to ALL Gods. I do not claim to be one, or
even know the musings of them. All I wish to do is defend my Order
Sister from such hatefull and disrespectfull attacks.

Penned by my hand on the 13th of Phaestian, in the year 288 AF.
