My dear Herenicus,

While it is refreshing to see such an eloquent post by a Mhaldorian, I
would like to offer something of a different analysis.

You see, I'm a man who likes to observe things. I observe a lack of
mhaldorian icons. I observe a lack of shrines to oppression and
suffering outside the the walls of mhaldor. I observe mhaldorian houses
consistently at the bottom of house influence.

What does this mean, you might ask yourself?

When I was a young paladin, and the infernal knights resided in Ashtan
still, there was much fighting, and indeed Shallam was a force to be
reckoned with. Now, there is no evil outside your little red island, and
perhaps this has made the church a bit complacent. But erect yourself a
house icon. Raise a shrine in azdun, or Manara, or how about on the
Highway?

Then you would see the truth.

For you are a man concerned with truths, are you not?

Yours, in the light

Ariye Alinoe Rian
