Quiet Bickering

by Rowin

I'm Rowin, a young cleric but with an old soul. I keep my former lives secret to avoid further confrontation and questions. However this is in remark to the violence in the lands today.

Just yesterday, I was helping rejuv a dead thief in the cleric guild, and to my surprise I found out she was killed by paladins. By Paladins!!! I used to be one of the most respected in the paladin guild, probably still am in my other form. However when this news arrived to me, I was utterly shocked.

I'll keep this short, but it seems the old codes, ethics and honors of all the guilds have been lost. Now the lands seem to be a free for all, and the winner is the one with the highest weapon ranking. No one respects anyone anymore, and I say this without remorse.....I hope something bad does happen, and hundreds die, and lands get destroyed......Maybe than we will learn to work together, respect each guild for it's role in life. Blades do not solve problems, only induce them. Words and pure silence are stronger, keep your honor and be the better man or women.

Settle things peacefully..

Baresh will listen to your well-presented viewpoint on this, too.
