Peace Will Not Have You

[clonky 1976]

 

 

A state, where peace wishes to reside. The Duchy of Adria may have appeared from the ashes, but has requested solemnly to its people for peace. The land is filled with turmoil, people taken from their homes yet still fighting for land and country. There is more to it than just land, but there are people, there are livelihoods, and there could be peace. Yet, this path is not one trekked, perhaps one unknown.

TO HAENSE, 
I find your instruments of war interesting. What is it that you seek? Is it those people who are excommunicated? Is it glory in God’s name? Or is it total submission under a supposed unified state? I query you, as I find myself confused as to what peace you desire. It is surely not the one where the lives of the people are put before any other, for then we would have peace. It is not for God, because many seeking peace have already sought penance to be relinquished from their excommunication. 

 

My husband, an elf who was never before known to be Canonist, was deemed excommunicated. Hurin and I, Seraena, seek only the path and light of God, yet all I see with war is the opposite. Shadows cast over your judgment, and I only hope that penance is served for all those who sought destruction over peace. I hope that penance be handed to those who put land over people, and greed over God. 

 

Peace is within your hands - it was given to you, the promises of Midlanders willing to put down sword because we have lost so many. Our brethren look from the Seven Skies and yet, when they look down on our turmoiled and malevolent lands, they do not see the crown of peace that was offered to be accepted and sat upon the head. The crown has been given, the olive branch tossed, but it was not taken, and for what purpose? 

 

Allow me to wonder where peace might live. Peace is not subjecting innocent peoples to horrific tasks, or a life barely liveable. Peace is not relinquishing identity, and peace is certainly not war. 

 

So, it is evident to mine eye that peace is not with you. If you require peace, if you so request it, if you are so desperate and you preach and speak about peace as if it were your own son, then harbor it as such. If peace is the answer, then it is not peace that is with you. Do not opt to speak of peace in place of avarice, because God shall surely see through this lens. Let the innocents die, they say, as this is war. Let there be peace, they say, but this is still war.

"WE are... so back."

“What is it that we seek…man I ponder- after many kidnappings and destroying festivities, a question is still asked…What is it that we seek?”

 

Vivien looked at the missive with her one eye 

 

“Dumb questions deserve dumb answers. In such case I want a Pygmy dragon!” The silly mage calls out

[ErikAzog 3575]

"They would've never entertained peace with us if the shoe was on the other foot." stated the Priest Belisarios, "To save the world, we have to eliminate Adria, Veletz, whatever they call themselves to save their skin." he'd sigh, tired of war, tired of how many more battles that were left to come, but for the safety of those he cares for. he has to push on.

[Jaslaw 602]

"No its a reasurance that your people wont start stabing the inocent again thank you very much. Thats all we want, thats not what you give."
*Was a simple note attached to the post... admitedly writen in horible writing style. Yet summorising the thing*
*Second note in still HORRIBLE handwriting was pinded underneath as if the person wanted to add in* 
"If you so care about lifes of the inocent, dont fall to your pride. Surrender and spare lifes of the people that are about to die by your choice, you are not those that are to dictate the terms. You would have not seeked peace, should you not had lost. You would have continued your missdeads should we not united."

Hali laughed upon finishing reading this missive. "Always the same mewling, truly. They refuse to admit that they started this war and claim that there should be no just punishment of their countless crimes, which they have also failed to acknowledge. It is more clear to me than ever before that if we had accepted their farce of a surrender, there would be a third Midlander war before long. Ask the creator for mercy Adria, for you will find none in the blades of those you have mocked and believed to be fools."
