You didnt like the last treaty... Lets have a look at that:
The church gained safe shrines in strategic places. They never had that before. Hashanites and forest dwellers can defile them but tend not to.
Ashtan gained what? Oh yes I remember now... the church posted a note saying "we surrender" and Ashtanites are now "free to defile" non safe shrines and be attacked for it.
Call me old fashioned but that sounds pretty tasty for having LOST.
Maran, you and I spoke not long ago on the outbreak of a new war over our citizens being punished for defiling "free to defile" shrines. You said that war was not in your interest. I am sure its not. War will only mean that you 1-lose all your shrines out of your city walls, 2-never have safe shrines again, 3-get the crap beat out your church members every time they go for a walk.
Are really sure you dont like the old treaty? I certainly dont. I do not pretend to speak for the city fathers, but believe me, I encourage them all I can.
Oh yes, one more thing... to Claryssa, nice try. No dice. People who dont believe that violence doesnt solve anything arent kicking hard enough.
