Relationship Note on Shard
She is, as it happens, also right in that everyone under my protection is sacrosanct. I have a shelf full of heads that speaks to what happens to people that fuck with my people. Lys sometimes throws her voice to make them talk. I prefer it when they're quiet.

First, you are correct that how one feels about the act of killing is likely of little consequence to the person who is dying. But a person who delights in something is less likely to fight against having more of it, would you agree? They might be less inclined to go to the lengths to avoid a situation in which they might find themselves in a position to do that thing they enjoy.
I cannot speak for others, but I do not believe I have ever spent coin on mercenary forces. I cannot begrudge their use, especially when fighting foes that out number us as extensively as the Pirate King's forces.
And I *should* acknowledge Baron deLire's point that the things he faces these days are rarely human. That is a mercy indeed.
I merely pointed out that if someone feels a rush of pleasure so intensely at killing another being that it was worth mentioning. That it was worrisome. I am not calling him bad, or evil or wrong. I am simply pointing out that there may be something unbalanced within him. He might be sick. Or he could simply be the sort of person that happily kills other human beings. Either way, I was concerned.

Sir Preston is one of the staunchest supporters of the Orthodoxy of the Faith. His faith is one of absolutes, including absolute loyalty to the Gods and obedience to the decrees of the Dominus. That is his path. While I may not always agree with Sir Preston in matters of philosophy or approach, he is worthy of respect as a leader in his own right within the Faith, and as a devoted servant of the Gods.
It was never my intention to bicker or cause bickering. Only to encourage discussion and thought in hopes of opening our hearts and minds to civil discourse. Since it has now officially turned to name-calling, I am bowing out.

Or if ya were told yer best mate, lover, spouse, kid.. or whatever would be killed if ya didn't kill someone else... you'd do nothing 'n let yer family 'n friends die?
It all ain't so black 'n white as callin it merely choices.

As for the question posed: If this family lives in compliance, and are happy, then I am unsure why I should not be content with that? I am also unsure why, if they are happy, the should want or care for my approval or endorsement. That right to live in compliance in Redrain lands for those who integrate Shamanist ways into their worship of the Pantheon is granted by treaty. If I may answer what I think your real question is: Do I /like/ shamanist practice? No. I find it odd and unfamiliar, for these ways to be alongside the things I find so familiar in the worship of the pantheon is unsettling as it would be to see a cat riding a horse. But. I also guard the lives of Mirrormasks, and Tehomic shrines, and I do not find comfort in the public worship of Tehom in the Grayson or Lycene style either - I find it unpleasant, that public doubt. That does not mean it is not true worship, and Prince Talen and I have debated before the difference in these things. He finds himself closer to the Gods in worshipping as he does, and I can like and be happy for him in that even if it is a path I myself would never wish to take.
There are several paths to the Gods within the forest of the Faith, and everyone has their preferred way - the path in their eyes that is most beautiful. Providing people do not stray outside of the forest, they do not abandon the ways of the Faith to seek answers without guidance or protection, then I am more than happy to live with that diversity of opinion.

I guess it is funny that things work the same way for both sides of this.
If you can show me the village's whereabouts in the map, maybe I can help them.
I'd be glad to.

Though I would also point out that it's more like asking questions about Eurusians. You don't really believe the Abandoned and the Arvani a wholly different race, do you?

The reason I reached out to goodman Bastien was not to try to gain in popularity. I simply sought advice on ways to ensure that the clinic was a place folk would feel safe and comfortable going to. So that my ignorance did not negatively impact those that need the help.
What I have learned from this is there is nothing I can do in the face of those who will hate or be angry but endure it and serve them with the same grace and care we would anyone else. Because when it comes to medicine, everyone IS the same. Whether commoner or king, we all bleed red, we all get sick.
