So if I entered the succession trials, me, someone you yourself has fought as an enemy, under the Khanid banner for example, you wouldn’t question it? Someone simply paid to kill because I could kill everyone else? I don’t mean to question it, I really don’t but it really doesn’t seem like a people like the Amarr would need to use such a system. It at least in its current form seems like who ever finances the best mercenary wins. It seems rather archaic. Even we don’t do it yet we’re considered a subspecies it seems to some of your kin. Please don’t take that as an insult as its not meant as such.
Personally I would like to see the day where our descendants don’t view military might as the only way. Call me a dreamer. I wish to see the peoples of our Republic together and away from bondage, preferably in a peaceful manner. A warriors job is to fight so others don’t have to, no matter how its achieved at least in my eyes. You actually won’t see me condone a lot of what takes place. But what I see is a necessity for that profession, I see it because there certainly is a branch of your empire’s people who wish harm on ours, just as we have one. The difference between our peoples is those people are given potential power within your ranks, while ours are based out of necessity, out of self preservation against those people who many of us have a blurred line between them. I will say you have answered my question much better than I expected, I really do thank you for that, though I just feel that my reasoning for asking should be shared. If war comes we’ll be ready, If peace can be achieved that’d be preferable. It takes two to tango.
