Supplies

by Kalshana

This place is stranger than I thought but I am happy to learn what I can.
 
There is this group called Swords of Liberty who are dead set on "freeing people from the monarchy". I suppose I can understanding that but they are harming the very lives they proposed they want to save, either withholding supplies to the people or killing them. They pretend to be mere thieves but when they talk, it is a rather different story. They are caught between being bandits and revolutionaries. My people are oppressed by The Inspired and other Quori. We would love to overthrow them both in Eberron and in Dal Quor but actions have consequences for the physical self, the spiritual self and the social. There is no nobility in underhanded deeds or trickery, no goodness to be found in withholding supplies or killing caravans on the mere belief that they are not of your own. Through training, you fight - through meditation, you strengthen - through charity, you improve. The Light, just as the Dark, is as infectious as any other good deed. Perhaps if we show them kindness that cannot be doubted, that cannot be dissipated with bad thoughts, this will improve them. These bandits, these Swords of Liberty, they are not evil. Perhaps when we get back to New Cyre, I will advise them of their ways and try to get through to them, give them some herbal tea and maybe tell them some poems? Although, I must confess I am unsure how they would take that compared to how poorly they took Warden's stories.
 
I must admit Dax using the Warden's tales as a point of "torture" intrigues me. It's a little rude given that Warden is very nice but it's less...drastic than threatening to eat legs. Even if one of them did have to bring up the toes thing. Still, she is highly skilled and I cannot deny that. She can blend into the wild like nothing I've ever seen, almost like magic. Eager to get the task completed. Strong. I may not always fully see eye to eye (or understand her methods) but I cannot deny she is a boon to us and our cause. I have never really met a lizard person before but I am unsure how to broach the subject. I wonder if she was brought up in surroundings such as this or whether she had something different?
 
Terfel is still mysterious to me as well. I found several letters for him with the supplies which is interesting. He must be of great importance to get letters! Only the head of the monastery gets any sort of letters and even those are usually very few and far between, usually from other monasteries. He can be slowed down - must be a previous injury of some kind, likely from the war that was fought. Again, I do not like to ask - humans are somewhat easy to offend and not always easy to predict. Whether he is officially our leader is a little unclear but it seems a natural fit to him.
 
Warden...isn't a human or elf or anything. He is something called a "Warforged" - a living person but made with metal and wood rather than flesh. It certainly makes sense with the lack of eating or sleeping but it still puzzles me. Why would someone create someone new just to fight wars? It seems this continent has a lot of turmoil within it. Also, those Swords were very rude to Warden, wanting to scrap him. Do others really see his people like that? A commodity? It's...disturbing.
