All I can ascertain is that there seems to be some unrest between our 2 great lands over a wall. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Was it not enough that we have lost many of the communities around us, that now two of the great forces left in the former Western Region should also come to blows. Is the Western Alliance at risk? Let us not cast stones (or bricks) at our former brothers. We are too few in number and the outside forces are too many. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Still if trouble does find us, I am heartened by hearing that we have a new Don within our borders. As a rapier fighter, I am most interested in meeting this new Don and seeing what he or she can teach us. Can someone direct me to where this Don Keys resides? If civil unrest develops, we may need his/her help. I can only hope he or she resides in Trelac and has enough wisdom to not make an ass of his/herself over this situation. </P>
