I feel regret

Donny, as someone who has traveled most of Palmydia in my lifetime, I can tell you that those qualities are prevalent in all people. To claim otherwise, especially when lumping those negative qualities into people other than your own, is incredibly racist. In the future, please keep your racism to yourself, otherwise some might consider you a public nuisance.

Lady Lois, I will take your advice, thank you. And thank you for those who responded. I have a lot to think about.

Lucky,

I have not traveled extensively. That said, I come from a sept with many who have, almost exclusively in the Soldier for hire trade. I've heard the stories of Costadori slavers tricking our people. One attempted to brazenly take my own mother out of our fields. My father was at a post battle feast where a Kormyrian Lord attempted to avoid paying the mercenaries by poisoning them. These are only the tip of the iceberg of the stories I overheard growing up. Hearing such things makes one cautious, but also tends to reinforce a clannish, insular manner. this is not to mention fighting off the slavers of the Hobgoblin Empire in the spring and the Venier raiders every winter. I'm a warrior, and my actions speak better than my words.

You claim I hate. This is not the first time you've uttered such a charge. Yes, I'm wary and watchful, and its helped people here before defeat perfidious foes. Would such a vile person protect a child not of their own kin, simply because he would hope that one might do the same for his wife or daughter? I don't think so. Normally, I'd just accept the challenge that left your lips, and then nail your severed head to the walnut tree in front of the inn as a way of convincing your soul to be more considerate of its actions in its next iteration, and keeping it from following me home as a vengeful spirit. Instead, I invite you, under my traditions of hospitality, to sit and drink. Listen, and maybe we'll understand one another.

What say you?

Donny, I never said you hate. One does not have to hate to prejudge someone based on a person's race.

I call you out because I see a pattern of behavior that is unbecoming of an ambassador.

At this point you have two options, you can let these words fall on deaf ears, or you can acknowledge a change of behavior and mentality is needed to improve your reputation.

As far as your offer to answer the challenge, which option you choose above will determine my answer, as I have no interest is speaking with someone who has stagnated in their own prejudice.

Oh Lucky,
Pay his lunacy no mind,
Quick to violence so is he,
So he seems same as many of me.

No honor many whisper, threw every nook and door, no spine said the spineless, as they laugh at the ignorance.

~ from one hypocrite to another Donny. Stop talking. ~

Artalon,
You did well and good, don’t worry about the lights of others. What grip did you use?
