Just War, Unjust Means

[!] An unsigned missive was distributed throughout the city of Sakuragakure.

 

Two nameless decapitated bodies reside within a cage near the gate of Sakuragakure.  As they lack heads, they are unable to escape and their only means of passing the time is to rot.  Clearly, the unnamed Lurinites deserved this fate, for they were Lurinites . . .  and nothing more.  But nothing more is required.

 

* During the latest raid on Lurin, a man dressed in civilian garb was killed.  He claimed to not be a Lurinite, but, as he was unable to produce an "identification card", he was executed.  Since we all know that identification cards are rarely used, it is clear that either this was the most moronic of mistakes or a mere excuse to kill a man.  Either way, going forward, if the Oyashiman warriors wish to truly be known as just, they ought to take care that they do not kill non-combatants.

          - It is argued that all adult citizens of Lurin are conscripted and therefore combatants.  However, if a citizen is neither wearing armor nor carrying a weapon, in that moment, regardless of their official status, they are not a soldier.  If you wish to execute such a person, you should identify them as a spook or a known spook sympathizer.  Otherwise, do what you will, but do not murder them.

          - Various private citizens of Lurin have made statements and taken actions against darkspawn.  These individuals should not be targeted during raids.

          - By only killing spook-positive individuals or those individuals *known* to be affiliated with the dark, you will eliminate the chance of killing an innocent person.

* In the case that you truly do not care about the deaths of innocent Lurinites, do be reminded that, as with all conflicts, the majority of the battle will be fought via public perception.  You must take all precautions to ensure that you do not end up with a public relations nightmare.

* Various alternatives exist to better pursue your goals of destroying the opium trade.  For one, you may merely burn the opium fields.

* If you desire to proclaim your message, looting and vandalizing is an alternative that does not require death.

Through a friend, Juniper finds herself with a copy of such a missive. A horror crosses her expression as she first finds out about the decapitated civilians of her hometown.

 

After much contemplation, she sighs, and returns to Hohkmat. . .

[!] A aditional missive was pined to the one above... Yet being of a handwriting of what could only be described as a child doing they darn best. Even if the Worda seem to hint at a diffrent Agę of the writer [!]

 

"Simple note from someone that witnessed the raid from behind one of the Gates. The two killed were in fact none combatants and only one of the two were a Citizen of lurin- the other was just a Simple visiting human with blodish hair and blue eyes if my memory serves me well- the raid was also random with no anouncement of the atackers arival and more so a planed sloughter of anybody found inside the city, which luckyly basically noone was of at that time.

There were also who I assume to be mog band members and a few high elfs from helu'nor yet not in great numbers.

Not a single person had Been tester and instead of basically bandited by a mob of people, seeming to make it clear it wasnt really about the darkspawn or anything as such"

The Princess of Helious Ember as she read this missive as her scouts gave it to her, she was reminded of the sight. Ember saw these bodies and identified them both in her past visit to sakugakure. She was told when Her scouts sent news of these bodies- and upon arriving to sakugakure in its dormant part of the day, she knew it was the young ‘Asul girl that was with the pharaoh in his past visit, and her fellow student, a citizen of her city. And be known to her- she still held the letter of her first creation calling for help. Time and time again has the fresh crown not acted in this. Will she?

 

”soon, very soon- wishes shall be granted”
