Greetings to you,

This conflict has been reaching out now for only a few months, and I
have lost track of which side is Good and which is not. While the
Pandorans have since changed their story, the Erisians still furnish the
same trio that I provided the Church. A mortal speaks up in defense of
that, and you tack a disfavour upon him for speaking. Should I place
disfavours upon Altarius for defiling while I was visiting my followers?
Should I place disfavours upon Arithorn or Osis for simply calling my
motives into question? I truly find it ironic that the God of War seems
to have more tolerance for mortals, than those who claim to assist the
side of Good.

My army has always been instructed to follow the Rules of Engagement,
simply abiding by the guidelines of the Land, and respecting the Rules
of Warfare. Women and Children of non-affiliation are to be respected,
as are the combat healers of this land. Those of the Temple Clergy are
not to be touched, and to this day we have not harmed any denizens of
the Orders we oppose. I have kept the darker side of War out of this
conflict, as I did see this as sporting to the degree that neither side
had used vile tactics. Alas, I return this day to find that a pair of
Elysians have snuck into My temple and slain a Cleric in My chapel. Not
only was this Cleric unarmed, but happened to be female as well. After
this slaying occurred and My holy chapel was defiled, they attempted to
use the corpse of My own Cleric to defile a shrine in My chapel.

So be it.

The Aegeans have now raised the Black Flag high above our Temple to
signify that we are no longer abiding by the Rules of Warfare. The
prisoners of War captured will be executed, and those women and children
who may stand in our way will be slain as well. The attrocities of My
temple will not stand, and you have only filled us with more resolve for
the destruction of the Elysians. Do not oppose us, Sister, for I have no
tolerance for those who try to silence the truth.

Aegis, God of War
