Stand up for what is right

To all those who call Travance their home,
All men and women are born with an inherent goodness, kenning to do what is right, and to ken what is wrong. It is morally apprehensive to allow Evil and wrongness to walk openly amongst us unopposed. *Ye may say they helped save the world, but in truth they only did it to save themselves. This, only by happenstance, had them allied with Good. As goodly people it is our job, nay our imperative, to oppose and vanquish evil, darkness and corruption in this world. I am nay without compassion. Lay down your wicked ways and be embraced by the Light and ye shall be spared. Those who dinnae give up their Dark Gods, Corrupt Magic, and Foul ways will be hunted down and slain until I and those aligned with me breath our last breath. Evil wins when Good does nothing. Rise up and help destroy the Evil within' our community. Let us be a beacon of Light removing the Darkness plaguing these lands.

P.S. I am just a man who is not content standing by.

Billiam,

The brightest of lights cast the darkest of Shadows.

Perhaps it is time we accept that our actions have consequences. If we can not live in peace with our neighbors now, how can we expect to live in peace ourselves?
Where does this all end? When the darkness is gone, will the light turn to those who acknowledge neither light nor dark?

Those who showed up, for whatever reason, stand now in equal footing in my eyes. Those who were absent, those are the ones whose loyalty should be questioned.

This world needs balance, the winter needs a summer sun, the pitch of midnight needs the highest noon.
What should happen if the summer sun was never to set?
I ask you reconsider.
Not to turn a blind eye on what you believe is wrong, but rather, to seek to find the balance Travance is in such dire need of.
In Service to Alisandria

Draven and others with similar concerns,

I accept the actions I will take, but I dinnae accept Evil walking along side us or watching our backs. Those who have sold their souls to the dark foul corruptions are the ones that must put illuminated and put down. Those without Light or Dark are beholden to themselves and will be judged accordingly when they pass, not by my hands. One cataclysmic battle does not excuse countless actions of vileness and corruption. I cannae go against my convictions because then the evil wins, when we do nothing and walk besides these foul creatures we lose who we are. Draven you do what you must to make this world a better place and I will do what I must.

I want to ask this,

When the world was at the brink of destruction by the legions of Xualla, where there not worshippers of the darker gods who took arms against him? Do they have the right to be condemned to death for their beliefs, even when they fought valiantly alongside those of the light, to get rid of a great threat? Also, as the Baroness said so and the clergy of Travance confirmed that the gods are desiring balance between Light and Dark. Now I know little about the divine and the conflicts between the Light and the Dark, but I can and will accept those who worship the dark gods as long as they do not cause harm to anyone I love, to the land that I am beholden to, and become a threat to Travance and its people. It is a new age, and perhaps now would be a good time to make some changes in your stiff-necked point of view.

Alright dagger ears, the worshippers of the dark gods fought along side ye true, but in order to save themselves they had to work with good. Aye they chose to condemn themselves and become evil. They are corruptors and liars. They will lie to you and feed you honeyed words before they strike. This ain't an age of balance this world is founded on a choice we are inherently good until a person makes the choice to be evil and they are then willing being corrupted. This is just history repeating itself, if I recall it ends with Evil losing and being condemned to the shadows. Do not be tricked or decieved, fight against the Evil clearly in view. Ye dinnae have to join the fight, just stay out of my way.

Kanas, I ask you from perhaps a place of ignorance, but...would you forgive drow, even as they helped fight this or other great evils? I believe for William, this is a similar issue as you may experience when faced with such a question, the same issue facing othera of your people and of Quinaria. Not for lack of drow who perform good deeds do you judge them. You judge them based on your pastA
. The gods may wish for balance, and I cannot speak for them, but I understand where William speaks from. When they have spent so much time working against us previously, why does this one night alter our perceptions? As he says, they acted only for themselves to continue to have a world to try to shape in the image they would like, in at least some cases, I'm sure. I do not know who these people are and I cannot judge without knowing what good and bad acts rest in their pasts, but it would not hurt to try to perceive this issue in a way that speaks to you, being that you offer freely that you are not a follower of the gods yourself.
