Be The Change

We have nobles so people like you don't get to have choices on the mass public affairs.

I think I read somewhere calling for revolution is illegal.

See you on the chopping block.

I think you read that in the law books. Pamphlet. Actually it's more like a piece of paper. There aren't that many really.

Khala, you've really done it this time.

To anyone even considering following this plan:
DON"T. Nothing Khala suggests is a good idea. She has so much innocent blood on her hands. During the times of Eden, THOUSANDS died because she thought it would be fun to start attacking the homunculi villages near where we were and eventually led others to doing the same. And she has yet to show any remorse. She is not worthy of your trust.

Let's talk theologically for a moment. You might have had a case in the event that the nation was stagnating and falling to ruin because too many people were getting comfortable in their positions and caring little for those beneath them. This just isn't the case. The kingdom is not stagnating. It is in turmoil. It is a whirlwind of active perpetual action. In this moment, every step we are taking is a step forward and we -- let me clarify; "We" includes you and any person who chooses to take involvement -- are actively seeking the most appropriate to take the throne, who is not entirely deemed such by blood alone. Travance wouldn't support a weak monarch. The ruler of Kormyre will be as strong, if not stronger, that King Aleric Nostrov, who will lead forward without settling. That, in itself, is entirely in favor of your own God's will.

And here you are, inciting another rebellion, against the exact change you're looking for?

Do you actually follow Malyc's word? Or are you simply an Anarchist?

I won't make this a matter of legality, because I believe you are just unsure of yourself in this time. I won't let this color my perception of you, and will continue to help you learn and guide you in the efforts you've asked my council.

But please, decide what your convictions are, because this is a weak and loose cry and we have other, far more dangerous, revolutionaries to consider right now.

Seth,

If you think I actually want to rule, you are sadly mistaken. But some level of input would be nice. A level of input from everyone is my goal.

Selby,

Yes. I made a mistake. I have openly admitted that. I did not think my plan all the way through, but the reason we were found afterwards was because of another. NOT me. But what I did was action. Because everyone else wants to sit around and debate and not do anything about the problems. I, at least, made an attempt to fight back. But what I learned from that is that having the drive and fight is all well and good, however speaking up and finding other like-minds to work with gives your idea and your plan much more success.

Aleister,

Then why is it that I still run into people afraid to speak up against others because they are nobles? Commoners who let things slide and let things go because they don't think they will be listened to. We, as Travancians, always seem to wind up being the deciding factor in issue after issue. We have saved the entire world on multiple occasions. Why are we still under the rule of a King? And you even admit in your words that there are people 'beneath you', even though I do know that you have been better than most in care for those under your rule. But why is anyone 'beneath' another? Yes, I technically hold a form of title. I am a Dean at a school. But I have never once considered my staff to be beneath me. My students have open forums where they can talk to me like they would each other and their ideas are listened to. But when I come to Travance what do I see? Meetings of nobles where others cannot attend. I am watching as some listing of nobles I have never even heard of tries to stake claim to a throne that it turns out we haven't had anyone in for YEARS. And yet we are no worse for the wear other than the fact that yet another noble has been lying to us. Both sides are at fault. And now what is going to happen? There is going to be fighting where commoners are going to die for no reason other than the fact that they are told to fight by their nobles.

Khala,

Like I stated, you led others to do the same. That responsibility still lies on you.

Your problem remains the same as it was then. You confuse planning and researching with inaction.
