[Ansteorra] [Glaslyn] Fwd: Does your honor demand obedience or justice?

[Troop0341 at aol.com]

Where is the "Honor" in kidnapping?
Where is the  "Justice" in coercing a Master to do  things against his  
will?
What of the grievance of a Lady deprived of  her  freedom for many months?

To stand on the side of  Honor and Justice is to abhor the  actions of one 
who did not learn  from the errors of the past...  I, for  one, stand with 
Master  Airaklee Wolf in this war...

Respects,     Iain

People of Ansteorra, Outlands and  other great  kingdoms, I put this
question to you:

Do you stand  in support of  tyranny or would you strike a blow against it?
Will you  follow a leader  simply because he wears a metal band on his head,
or  will you demand that  the weak be protected and that justice be done?  Do
you believe there is  chivalry and honor in aiding an oppressor or do  you
feel as I do that only  by standing against such acts -- even though  the
odds be against you -- can  you display true honor?

Know that  the Baron of the West seeks to raise  an army for the purpose  of
"crushing" a widow who seeks to defend herself  and what remains of  her
clan. Her true crime, that for which her life is  forfeit, is only  that she
is the widow of the last rival this baron had put  to death, a  rival in
what should never have become more than a private  dispute.  Don't be an
accomplice to such acts. Stand instead in a place of  honor,  defend the
widow, demand a fair hearing of her grievances, demand   justice and a
righteous resolution of this conflict.

Kainin has  made  it clear he has no interest in resolving this dispute by
any means  other  than arms, and that he intends attack and slaughter, I
think it  is the duty  of all fair minded people to gather to halt  his
attack.

I hope to  see you all at the Gothic War in defense  of this widow, calling
for a fair  hearing for her grievances and  demanding justice in this long
standing  dispute. Remember, next time it  could be YOU, YOUR CLAN or YOUR
HOUSE who  end on the wrong side of some  powerful ruler. Wouldn't you hope
for fair  minded people to come to  your defense?

I remain,

Captain One   Eye
