Well Ajax, first off this war was not started by Ashtan, yes it was declared by us but it was started by the Church erecting their war machines in our city. We have given the Church plenty of warnings regarding such actions, more then I think we needed to do, yet they decided to try and force their beliefs upon the city of freedom.


You have mentioned greed is what this war is about, I agree. The church wasnt satisfied enough to keep their shrines in Shallam so from their own greed they impose these bloodstained horrors throughout Achaea, if they are wanted or not. Yes indeed Ajax, greed is a factor but not from Ashtan but from the church. They have demonstrated already that freedom is not what they wish but forced followings.


Ashtan is the city of the free, its citizens do as they wish with exceptions of a few laws towards protecting its citizens. Unlike the dictatorship of the church we do not force our citizens to do things for this city, they chose to do so from fee will and loyalty.


I do not expect you to believe this at all Ajax for the church is indeed good at brainwashing their members into following its leaders like blind sheep, to never question them and just obey orders. So I am not expecting anything from you except that when the day comes that you shall see the truth for yourself you will remember what I have said.


P.S. Remember Ajax that the church has the opportunity to end this war themselves by accepting the terms we have put forth.
