Blood on our Hands

We knew other hearts could be used to make the blade. We also knew we wouldn't know who among us would qualify, unless one of the hearts was destroyed. I can also tell you nearly every color would have been collected the night we discovered what needed to be done, if a dragoon's heart could have been used. Every one of us was willing to make that sacrifice, so that others didn't have to. Thank you Squire Keavy for that sacrifice. Thank you Atrus for offering to make that sacrifice. Thank all of you on the other side for your sacrifice. You may have saved us all. It is up to all of us now to ensure those sacrifices were not in vain.

I DO NOT FEEL THE NEED TO REPEAT MYSELF... AGAIN... IF I AM TO BE IGNORED... AGAIN... BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE WHAT I AM
IF YOU WILL BOTHER TO LISTEN I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING (AGAIN)

Keavy

I understand what you are feeling, and I just want you to know that I did in fact offer myself many times for its creation, but I was simply cast aside and then ignored. I was willing to give my life for this weapons creation even though I didn't believe in the weapon but trusted the town to make good use of it. Yes it is aggravating when people show disdain for a cause you gave your life for, but it is saddening when your attempt at sacrifice is simply scoffed at.

TZ,

If you would tell us, than do. All information would be helpful. I am glad to know your feelings on the actions that required Keavy to give her heart, and would hear the rest.

Caldor

As Caldor has stated many if not all of us did not know that we could give up our own hearts to spare those who were killed. It was only after Ginjerky sacrificed himself for that knowledge, after many people had already been killed, did we know. Even then we were turned away. We were told that the hearts could not be given willingly. It made little sense to me, to many, because a druidess and a user of white magics did willingly give up their hearts. As apposed as I was to this horrible weapons creation I would have torn my heart from my breast as a sacrifice rather than see an innocent die.

I must speak one final time on the subject.

I am among the most formally educated people in the world. Not to be a braggart, but as a matter of fact. I have had training at the best academies in Kormyre.
I have a formal education on known sciences and mathematics as well as a understanding of the law, philosophy, history and literature.

If I could not assume the best course of action before having to effectively force myself into a meeting of the nobility, how is the common subject supposed to know what is going on in this Barony? The people were helpless to know any better and we , and I say we, because I include myself , did not make it a priority to know any better.

By the time the meeting of the high council had convened the subjects of the Barony had already been whisked away on their deadly missions resulting in the deaths of at least six persons.


And now what? We have Bloodtide, but no enemy to use it on. Will we wait a day to make this sin worth it, or a week? How long must we wait? If we find another option before we ever get a chance to use Bloodtide, what then? Will you sleep so soundly?

I will not.
