Your post sports plenty of falsetruths, but that is to be expected from
one of New Celest. One Celestian is not "Celestians." The totems are
tuned against enemies of the Serenwilde and enemies of the Hartstone,
not against some vague amorphous "us." These are people who were enemied
for reasons, and those reasons can be resolved. We are not striking out
at random. The only Celestian who was attacked in the Serenwilde was in
fact an enemy (you in fact) - an enemy of a Serenwilde guild. You cannot
expect to walk around the Wilde while enemied to a guild of the Wilde
and not come to any harm - it is within our rights to attack our enemies
wherever they may be.

To be unenemied to the Hartstone, Forren was asked to do only two
things. One, show remorse for his actions against the White Hart, and
two, vow never to again bring harm to them. He refused this. Clearly, if
he thought he was in the right to slay our Aspects and would gladly do
so again, he is still an enemy to us, and ever will be. Enemy status is
not a joke to be thrown around haphazardly.

Your aggression against all Serenwilders, even those who did not
participate in the war, is childish, though quite expected of Celest.
This "aggression" of ours is aimed at our enemies, for they are just
that - enemies. It is not aimed at Celest. If you presume to tell the
Serenwilde how to treat Celestians inside the Serenwilde forest,
remember that the Serenwilde is not a province of your city. You do not
write our laws, and you do not dictate our laws. If you see attacks
against you, while you are in territory where you are considered an
enemy to some, as attacks against your city, your ego is even greater
than we thought.

Celestians weren't attacked. You were attacked. If you do not have the
courage to stand up to such attacks, that is your inadequacy which you
will just have to cope with - there is no need to shout your impotence
and fear of victimization all over this newsboard, using the arrogant
threats that we've come to expect from Celestians.
