Dunccan. a civilized relationship should be standard, not something that is part of some broader deal.

As for my staying or leaving, are you worried you will have nothing to do? Good.

This land has always been hard but in my experience there has still been respect between fighters.

You and your city have for many months, whether on top or not, offered none.

I've faced many foes, many just as aggressive and skilled as you. There have been times when the odds have been wildly unbalanced.

But only since I've fought Springdale do I see what this land can become.

It's not the fighting odds, it's the fact that you stand there insulting people afterwards, the lies and the hypocritical justification, the ridiculous claims about how all of you are so wonderful and everyone else is so worthless. It's the casual disrespect all around.

The steed-offering is pathetic, the threats to the young are utterly uncalled for, the whining when you die or when you mess up on warfare is utterly childish.

But it's the casual insults you throw into every possible situation that really irk me, god knows how many times I've witnessed you stand and call my friends names, try and drag them down, the vile spewing hatred that comes forth from your citymates' mouths that pisses me off.

You should think about why you are here, you and yours are fucking up this land because you can't restrain yourself in any way, you can't offer civility or respect or even the slightest hint of character justification.

If you want to behave the way you do, for god's sake go and join thakria and let the land have a proper good and evil axis. People here want to fight for what's right but you stand there stripping, teaming, insulting, trying to dominate through intimidation and overwhelming force.

And you claim to be the good guys. How many poor youngsters are taken in? How many of your citizens think they are fighting for something good? You have corrupted what you claim to fight for and if you were an agent of darkness I would commend you for a job well done. Assuming you are not, I will spit on your betrayal of principle and morality.

You lie casually, you turn on people of character who you used to have the respect of, like Fistandantilus and India, just because they notice your hypocrisy too. Have some self-respect. You have fallen so far, I will mourn for you, just as I will mourn for those who suffer because of what you have become.
