The current alliances and treaties ensure that a real war would be incredibly damaging to the Empire, with no guarantee of victory.
I have already said, I know nothing about converting people and reclamation. Like one of gallente lapdogs was barking about me, I am a âwarlordâ, and I look at the events from the practical rather than spiritual point of view. My goals are - winning operations, winning fights, ensuring security.
I donât see Minmatars as someone who needs to be âconvertedâ or âenslavedâ⌠or even âbutcheredâ, since you brought in Mr. Nauplius. I see them as troublemakers and warmongers who must be dealt with. A practical problem shall have a practical solution. First and foremost I look to security of territories, assets and people lives.
Whether they will choose to be converted, surrender, be enslaved, fight or die - itâs their decision and I am not a freaking Black Eagle to control their thoughts. I can control, however, whether those who bring death and destruction will stay alive to continue their mischeif or not⌠provided they will be in my area of the operation. I am just a human, after all. And I canât reach to peopleâs hearts and minds - I can reach to their throats, however.
And if you think you can try to convince people in something, while these bloodlusty savages (who canât hear voice of reason) will be trying to slit your throat, boo-ing at each your word and trying to tear you in pieces⌠not even because of your words, but because you stand under Amarr flag - well, good luck.
Before speaking, I would eliminate first all disturbances, catch and execute or imprison criminals, rebels, etc.
But I canât tell you what to do, itâs your life. I can only tell you how I will view it. And I will view it at you dropping that spoon and starting to beat that door with your head, chanting something with huge âSHOOT ME PLEASEâ sign on your back.
PS
As for your questions, in first case itâs delivering the convoy in safety to 44 Easting, and in the second case⌠ehh, I am not a theologician, but I can make an assumption, it is to bring everyone into the Faith.
Good. Thank you. Now, in a thread that is 100% about such things, maybe you could keep your uninformed opinions to yourself.
I really thought you to be wiser, but if you wish to boil in a sealed pot in your own juices, canât stop you from doing that, thatâs your decision. Enjoy yourself.
Yet again, we see a truly disgusting exhibition of the corruption caused by paying heed to slaves and servants who simply havenât learned their place in the order of things. I had thought the inability to control the tongues of servants and slaves was a rot primarily to be found in the Ardishapur domains. Has it truly seeped into the souls of those who are loyal to House Sarum as well?
The only relief to be found in this wallow of filth and heresy comes with the wise words of Commander Kim, one who has shown her loyalty to the bonds of alliance between Holy Amarr and the Caldari people many times over. Indeed, Commander Kimâs contributions to the pacification of Kahah were deeply appreciated by me, Sardar Marshal Fayez and, I feel able to say, His Majesty Khanid III.
As the good Commander astutely notes, the Minmatar, all Minmatar, are troublemakers and warmongers who must be dealt with. They may hide behind honeyed words of faith and loyalty, as the Ammatar do, or they may rave like the ululating heathens they always show themselves to be, but at the core of their being, like a sickness, a canker of the soul, lurks the dark truth: they revel in bloodshed and destruction and will never be truly happy until they rule over a mountain of bones.
True servants of the faith understand this and understand that the dark heart of the Minmatar must be changed, molded and purified before there can be any question of redemption and elevation to the ranks of the chosen.
Our glorious forebears understood this and the greatest of us understand it very well. I think of St. Damius the Conqueror, blessings upon his name and memory, he who as Emperor Damius III, saw clearly the need to reclaim the souls of the Minmatar through fire, sword and the power of Holy Amarrâs science and technology.
I have faith, great faith, that both the heir to Damius Khanidâs House, praise His Majesty, and the heir to Damius IIIâs Throne, unending praise upon Her Sublime Imperial Majesty, see the wisdom of the policy of their mighty forebear.
A change? Not any such change as suggested by the blithering, feckless drivel that has flopped like a rotten fish from the flapping gums of a servant who verges on heresy and apostasy.
Rather, change, if it be the wisdom of our leaders, that brings up to date and accelerates the necessary improvements to the body, mind and soul of the brute Minmatar and the treacherous Ammatar.
Hurry, I pray, the day when there is no viperâs nest Matar and no evil Matari, rather only peaceful Damius Prime and loving, faithful Damarri! If the Lord and His Holy Empress will it, it will be so!
I have the honor to be,
Alar
Sa-Baron Chakaid of Ves-Sefris, Zirsem V,
Colonel General of the 19th Royal Uhlans,
Plenipotentiary Representative of His Majesty Farokh Khanid III
My sides !
Alright, I have to give credit, thatâs some well-evoked imagery there.
But you know, I think we can now safely say that when the Blooders and Strike Commander Drone Brain are your supporters, you should make reconsider your life choices.
You attack so many Empire loyal factions every time you talk, itâs almost like youâre the one we need to watch out for.
Funny how that works.
Thank you for your kind words, Sa-Baron. I was just doing my job.
And I would like to note that I didnât really mean that All Minmatar are troublemakers and warmongers. I had in mind only those, who follow Shakorâs rule, who ignite rebellions or participate in them against the Empire. I canât blame people in being born of certain bloodline - after all, itâs just a set of traits. But I can blame them in how they use these traits and for what purpose. To be a troublemaker one should start a trouble first.
The Legion of the Damned is at your command, Sa-Baron; we could have no more wise leader. Tell us where we might find some rioting Minmatar slaves disobeying their betters and we will glorify God in their destruction.
I am not sure whether he truly means what he says, or if he just took the title of âBest Trollâ from Diana Kim.
Every time he talks I pray hard King Farokh sees the viper for what he is.
Every time you say this I canât help but wonder when youâll realize Garkeh 1.0RevBâs hand is the thing shoved up his rear to make his mouth move.
Some people tend to lose last vestiges of self-awareness when granted the slightest bit of power, perceived or real.
You know well enough by now that in the absolute best case scenario, Farokh simply doesnât care.
As long as itâs the Khanid Kingdomâs bones.
Donât worry and sleep safe, nobody gonna take that title from you, kind sir.
Iâve often felt for you in a sense we are alike. Trying to do whatâs best while no one around us listens, I even offered you support if you needed it.
You turn me down which is fine but nowâŚ
I still have my oath to my King.
Samira Kernher, run. Donât let me ever find you in the Kingdom again.
Your oath to a devil. Burn with them, servant of monsters.
Out of the two of you, I know who Iâd put my money on, little boy.
And you would rather drown all of your own people in their own blood than renounce your oath to your worthless king. Well, thatâs your problem.
