Blood on our Hands

Wotcher Mister Dimms,

As chance would have it, we've already done precisely that. Count Winterdark has permitted us to send a small team to recover the weapon Ragnarok in just over a week's time - in all my time researching the blade, I found no indication that any hearts would need to be sacrificed in order to reforge the thing.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the same.

To those who are involved,

This is an unspeakable and horrendous act of cowardice. Let us perform evil, to make evil, to use for good. This makes no sense to me. No amount of evil forces or action is any excuse for good people to travel down that road. Having been in Travance for only two moons, I thought I found a town of good people who fight against evil. But after this past moon, I see that you are no different then the evil you claim to be fighting. There is no amount of praying or repenting to your so called God's that can excuse these actions. In the coming moons, I will not be helping you "heroes" with any personal issues you may have. In defence of the town, or its citizens that do not have the power to stand up to the evils of the world, I will lend my blade. But do not look to me to help you with any matters as it will take many moons to quell this rage and hatred pent up inside.

Nothing we did compares to ending a race... not even compounded together.

Learn, grow, and adapt. The worst demons you face will always be your own.

The reason we made the sword is to end the demon.

The end of a race is what the demon did last month.

Most crimes should be cause for remorse, but remorse is not a reason to forget our purpose, or a fallen people. A bread thief should not forget the family he fed as he repays the baker. A soldier does not forget the families and peasants he protected as he is executed by the enemies he capitulates to. A healer does not forget the lives he saved when he spends time in jail for disobeying a noble's order to hold a line.

I no longer wish to discuss this on paper.

To be told "Don't listen, eyes forward" as the screams of my friend echoed across the field...

To know that not to fight was "treason" and not to fight and protect and heal the fallen was to leave my allies in danger, another form of treachery....

I feel violated.

Where do we go from here?

You do not need to reside in this lands illiterate one. We do not need and I do not desire a voice of dissent. If doing what must be done to save Travance upsets you, go home.
