Alas, you missed part of it

Torgum, please don't take this as a personal affront, but you missed what I was striving for in my post
Strife is a champion of evil. The more he works to make the newbies of his guild stronger, that stronger his allies. If by working to make the newbies of my guild stronger with the PURPOSE of having stronger allies, to strengthen myself, not my guild, not them, then I am evil. If I work to make them stronger, simply to make THEM stronger, I would be good. The thing that determines good and evil is the purpose behind the deed, not the deed itself. Your example of the rose, if I pricked my finger on the rose, that doesn't make the rose evil. The rose didn't try to become stronger by lowering me. I was a fool for placing my finger on the thorn. By smelling the fragrance of the rose, that doesn't make it good, It didn't try to give me a happy day, it would have given off scent anyway
I realise it may have been my part that the purpose of my message was unclear, I appologise to Achaea for not writing more concisely.
Lover of History,
Cronono

PS I am getting some histories, but not enough. I would like people to turn them in, and I am sure the Logos would love a fully fleshed out history of Achaea as well

Penned by my hand on the 3rd of Chronos, in the year 231 AF.
