A Reminder to All

We didn't invite them because they smell, Seth. I thought you knew that.

So I don't really have much of a dog in this fight (beyond, y'know, not liking the blokes who burn children and wanting to see them stopped), but I've scrapped with my fair share of fanatics in the dunes. Beyond the true believers, you'll always have more than a few who rolled out because that cult gave them something they were missing back home and are now having a serious case of buyer's remorse. Some of 'em feel like they're in too deep to ever leave, some of 'em are actively looking for a way out. The problem with curbstomping the lot of them is that you're just gonna reinforce the narrative that the cult's way is the only way, there won't be any defectors or runners, and our job becomes a lot harder. We lose possible sources of human intelligence, we lose possible manpower who knows better than any of us how to fight the enemy, and again we're playing right into their hands that it's their way or death.

Yeah, there'll be plenty who're irredeemable, who don't want to atone for what they've done. Slot 'em and let their God of choice sort 'em out. But there's no need to make our job harder by backing the uncertain ones into a corner.

Swyft,
Don't be jealous of my delightful swamp mud aroma. I still remember the smell of wet cat.
Those who live in glass houses and all.

Ephrem,
Please stop twisting my words to be about your Church.
The Light does not solely exist in your Eodran pantheon.

Nico, Orophin,
I was glad I could have been there that time.
I regret that I could not have been there more.
If I had known what was happening I would have.

Sindarion,
That sounds like a question you have to answer for yourself.

Trust your instincts, Sindarion.
Yes.

**Not Caelvan**

Cobus and others who have the same mindset,
With the exception of Swift, please someone show me where those of the dark have stated that all in this cult, leaders and misguided, are going to be killed.

I hate that you are assuming because we despise this cult we will kill them all without mercy. We have stated, we will attempt to convince those with "buyers remorse" that they were led astray, and if that doesn't work then we will deal with them appropriately.

I see perception of the Dark for many in the Light hasn't changed. I thought with the merging of Eodra, and the nature of Travance, it had.


Once again, by My Will,
The Church of Galmachis will give those who are not their leaders a chance to be taught properly about the Dark and the error of the path that the leaders showed them. If they choose not to listen, and instead fight, they will be shown the true nature of Death through death. The Leaders get no such chance. They gave that up when they cut lives short by killing children and burning whole villages just for one individual who may have never committed anything except for following Darkness.
