Dear Arkolio de'Averlain,

You are of course free to read the Words of Aeridin in whatever way you wish to, but knowest that your current view isn’t representative for His church. I feel it is my duty as one of His priestesses to correct people who twist His words so that the original intention set forth by Him risks getting lost.

The message of a note is communicated not only by the words themselves, but also the choice and placement of the exact words. A simple thing like a phrase of greeting can be written in uncountable different ways, all of them having their own “feel”. It is important to, as some people call it, read between the lines to get the “tone” of a note.

I first found it very peculiar how it comes that you made no attempt to hide the one in yours, as I believe by the time of fastening your note, you were all aware of that some of His followers surely would respond to it. But after reading your question about the “tone”, it is obvious that either you truly can’t feel it or, more probable, that you are actually not making any real effort to sell anything, but rather to have some “fun”.

The more I think about it, the more I believe my last conclusion is right. A simple word to refresh your memory of a previous event: “Bear”

I’m not proud of that the Trade Company is selling weapons, and if it was my decision alone, I surely would drop that particular part. Often my view differs completely from the ones of the other members, which is rather understandable. But I remain as a member, as I believe even though my influence of the affairs is very limited, it is better than nothing at all.

Lastly, I kindly ask you to differ between following His teachings in a way of your own and takings parts of His teachings out of contest for a greater personal gain.

Signed,
Alleina
