Greetings,

First, Koyen, I would advise you to refrain from referring to Springdale as \"Springtown\", as, to my knowledge, no such place exists.

Secondly, I think you'll find that, whilst Parrians and Thakrians did, indeed, put an awful lot of effort into preventing mercinaen troops from entering Springdale, the citizens of the latter two cities also deserve credit for their efforts. I think t

hat it is a very ignorant person who can only see one side of a conflict.

Finally, I would agree with Koyen in that there is nothing quite like an inter-city battle to really warm the cockles of one's heart. The effort and passion that is involved truly is staggering- from *both* sides.
