A Day of Life

I shall say this: we do not control the beasts or the plants. Nor will we force anything to act as it will not. We only strive to act as we can to present the day of life. To control our actions, and strive to intervene to save those we can.
We must do beyond the natural to call the Goddess. We must act above and beyond. That is what Galladel told us. The goal here is for us as a people to promote and preserve life for one day in her name.

This is not to restore Eodra, but another more dangerous task for which we need the gods direct involvement. If calling to the Goddess through this plan costs me your respect, then it is a small price to pay.

Apologies to Caldor and Orion,
It seems I have mixed up quests. What the good Gothi says is true, this is indeed a different task from the one I had mentioned. I rightly stand corrected.

Orion,
You have brought up valid concerns. To contribute to the discussion and show all aspects of something such as this endeavor is right and just to do. I do agree that attracting the attention of the wrong powers is a risk, however it might be a risk well taken. Also, Galmachis himself has affirmed the need for the end result. While good ends do not justify evil means, with full respect to you, I would ask to consider this argument on behalf of Caldor:
I do not reason this act to be unnatural. There are times when even the beasts refrain from hunting - while in Bedouin lands I recall a desert ranger describing how predators refrain from hunting while sharing small, depleting watering holes with their prey when water is scarce. Even I (and some farmers and shepherds) refrain from eating any meat from mid winter until the Day of the Sun after the first full moon of spring - a time of late winter when the animals should be breeding and humans refrain from slaughtering animals for food. So I would propose that this is not so much unnatural as much as unusual (and perhaps extreme), as there are indeed times in which even the beasts naturally refrain from killing.

Z'had Enim Merikh Tazam,
You also have valid questions and concerns; expressing your concerns adds to the Common Good. Sincere thanks.

Caldor,
I am in full support of your endeavor. Let me know if there is any way to aid you further than what you have requested. I hope and pray to Valos, though, that I am not in a situation where I am forced to take a life in order to protect and defend the innocent; I would have to favor the innocent in all cases and would hope that there would be an alternative to taking a life. Hopefully the gods themselves will watch over this task and Valos will guide my hand if such a situation arises.
