Elryn,

It amuses me to see you set these rhetorical attacks on such unsteady
foundations. The 'senior' Magnagoran you refer to is also of the
Changeling race. She masquerades as a Faeling, if nought else, to amuse
herself: to hear the startled cries of the Fae as one of their own cuts
them down unfeelingly.

In a previous post you state that we of Magnagora "had some distaste
towards the races of the Forests." It is easy to see where you derived
this opinion. You rude forest dwellers are so sensitive about your own
insufficiencies that you invert your inferiority when dealing with
civilised folk. Since you disparage city-dwellers it is perhaps natural
(if infantile) to assume that we should do the opposite. We do not.

The Elfen are a foul and loathsome race, born of foul and loathsome
parentage, and as such they are rightly denied certain privileges in
Magnagora. However, despite their lamentable physical and mental
disadvantages, many Elfen do feel the call of the Great Blessing, and
come to Magnagora to be received into the fold. These, we baptise
through the power of the Taint into a better form. Elfen they once
were.. to some extent, Elfen they remain - but you would call them
Viscanti, for what they were has been transformed into something better.
In the same way, though many Faeling are scum fit for little but the
slaughter, many embrace the powers of the Taint (though they may deny it
to themselves) and are worthy of a little respect.

You are too quick to categorise, Elryn, too quick to be judgemental.
Further, you are too quick to think that others of your race may share
your particular deficiencies of perception. Remember that there are two
great forests, and remember that the Engine of Transformation waits to
receive and baptise you, in your turn.
