To House Liones and Those Returning Home

I spoke to Lieutenant Commander Cynon, shortly before departure, about providing aid to those returning home after this war. If Alisandria can be of aid to any of you who are returning home, who have been displaced, homesteads destroyed, e.t.c., please send missive to my home, or the office of my Lord in Caer Bridaeg and we will do everything possible to assist you in a speedy and hopefully easy return to normal life.

Some can never return home. Happens in every war thrust upon non warrior cultures. Things they've seen and done they cannot reconcile with their souls and ethics. If you are one of these, find your way to Kaladonia. Ask for me. It won't be easy, but I'll do what I can to see you back to peace with yourself.

WHAT IS A "NON WARRIOR CULTURE"?

Tom,
What I call a Warrior culture is a culture founded with martial prowess as an ideal. With an increased emphasis on combat, they tend to have ways to deal with men whose minds are changed by combat. Kormyre is an example of one that is not a warrior culture. This is neither a slight or a boon, it is simply a note. The Hibernians, Khitanese in the Empire of the Sun, most Nordejar and sadly the bloody Hobgoblin Empire are what I would term Warrior Cultures.

WELL THAT DONT MAKE TOO MUCH SENSE TAH ME
KORMYRE BEEN AT WAR WITH THE HOBGOBLIN EMPIRE SINCE OUR SWADDLIN DAYS. EVERYON IN MY TOWN GREW LEARNIN HOW TAH DRAW ONE O THEM LONGER BOWS SINCE WE COULD WALK ON ACCOUNT OF THEM WANTIN US DIRT FOLK TO HAVE FREAK BONES SHOULD A LORD RAIS THE LEVY. PLUS DID NOT YALL JUST HAVE A BACK AND FORTH ABOUT HOW YAHD LOST YER WAY AND SUCH?

STILL TRYNA FIGURE THIS OUT,
YER NAYBOR,

Tom,
I've seen your people fight. they can fight like badgers when roused and levied, but your culture is more focused largely on Commerce and Farming. you do have skilled hunters, but they are not the majority. we have our traders and farmers, but even our farmers go armed with spear and blade to protect the folds of cows and sheep, and keep out raiders. Back home, it was Gaaldron slaving parties in the spring, other clans set to steal cattle and sheep in the spring and summer and then some of the Venier in the winter. big difference in culture. We can talk more on this at a later date.
