Speaker,

I see that you act out of concern for your people, and so I shall make an attempt to respond in good faith.

While I believe you are mistaken as to the contents of the book in question, let us say for the sake of argument that it is indeed what you claim. If so, does the presence of such a book in Moghedu translate into tangible harm to the Tsol'aa people? I spent my childhood within those halls, and I do not recall ever having been served Tsol'aa, nor being asked to hunt your kin. (I do not know Oshalo well, but the game he does ask me for is rather more mundane.)

Moreover, if the book does indeed deal with the preparation and consumption of sentient flesh, and if Oshalo does indeed possess it for that purpose - rather than as a strange heirloom or a work of satire - what sense does it make to slaughter all the inhabitants of Moghedu, rather than the individual who has wronged you? Can you rightly hold the entire mhun race responsible for the actions of one cook?

If you believe you can, then I suspect that neither ethics nor reason will furnish us with common ground.
