Your overreaction to your death.

I just thought I would add to your hysteria by pointing out that it was
I who requested that Kaelin and all citizens of Mhaldor who felt that
they were up to the challenge to kill you. You see, after asking you
about the Amittai I came to the obvious conclusion that your imaginary
guild of one was in many ways symbolic of the general insult that Ashtan
and the defector Infernals send against we loyal ones every time you
breath.
It took the original Infernals awhile to realize, even longer to begin
accepting and even admitting that showing honour towards your opponents
in war is foolish because your opponents will just take advantage of it
and beat you and then your honour is as dead as you are. It started with
the board of dishonour and later in the ebony fist... true honour is
loyalty and the strength to stand up for what you believe in and who you
are loyal to. It is not going with the flow of whoever has the most
power as the people in power change, like you and the other defectors
have done with your pathetic posts all saying the same thing...
"infernals unhonourable, ashtan kill infernals, please no kill me
ashtan."
I'm not even going to bother on any level to point out how unhonourable
Ashtan is, the recent debate Silverstorm fired up makes the case for me.
"Shallam has the same kind of laws that my city does? What dirt bags!"
Dacian wouldn't leave the Iron Citadel because though he didn't agree
with the actions of Ashtan's leaders he felt that was where he and the
Infernals belonged, an Ashtan mob honourably swarmed over and killed
him. I've started to get off subject a bit, but Kandor, there is no true
honor in a complex system detailing your rules of engagement that an
opponent can just take advantage of so as to kill you more easily. True
honor like I've said is loyalty combined with faith, and the Infernals
were to place their loyalty to Lord Sartan first. As an Infernal who
intentionally did otherwise, despite all of your enforced speach
patterns and fancy rules of engagement that will make you look good in
the rare duel, you are a hypocrit. You cannot say that Ashtan is any
more honourable then Sartan and retain a shred of credibility outside of
the place. Thus, you cannot claim that on moral grounds Ashtan is more
deserving of loyalty then Lord Sartan. Ashtan's entire conflict with the
Infernals in the first place happened because the Aegean and Erisiean
council majority accused them of being more loyal to their Lord who had
damaged the city when it betrayed him in the past then to them, to which
they replied "hell yes" and to which Ashtan replied "you have no loyalty
(to us), ergo you are dishonourable, do as we say or else."
Honour is probably the easiest of ideals to twist and use as a weapon
because whether they admit it or not people in truth define honour as
loyalty and if you aren't loyal to them you can't possibly be
honourable. Anyway, I suspect you will be dying almost as much as I have
lately only in your case for weak reasons.
