> > Feystrim says 'Jaragh would not allow it.'
> > Feystrim says 'But..do carry on.'
> >
> > You say 'Would you then slay every member of said city.. the villagers and children? Merely because they are part of the Empire?'
> > You say 'Do the crimes of others plague them, as well?'
> > You say 'And again, stop presuming to know the thoughts and intentions of others.. I am confident in saying that you do not sit down and chat with Jaragh daily on his personal affairs and views on things.'

> >
> > You say 'It is said that he did not wish to stop there, though, and was undergoing negotiations to expand.'
> > You say 'Negotiations, mind you. Not mindless slaughter, but he actually was speaking with the heads of various cities.'
> > You say 'He quite obviously did not succeed.. but suppose for a moment that he had.'
> > You say 'And Galadon was now under his rule.. now, would you assume, then, that every creature that came out of Galadon was evil to the foulest extent?'
> > You say 'Or would you speak with them.. perhaps learn of their life, their desires, their families?'
> >

> > Feystrim says 'Indeed.,'
> >
> > You say 'I asked how you would differentiate between those who do and those who do not and you claimed that their actions would speak for themselves.'
> >
> > Feystrim says 'Aye'
> >
> > You say 'Now, seeing as how we have neither met nor talked, one could only assume that I have not proven to you that I shun the light, and therefore my death was merely blind bloodlust.'
> > Feystrim says 'You are a resident of the palace, and you claim that you do not shun the light hm?'

> > You say 'The Vanquisher.. as, like I just told you, I protect the palace.'
> >
> > Feystrim says 'And therefore shun the light.'
> >
> > You chuckle politely.
> >
> > Feystrim says 'I am set in my ways Shalihn.'
> >
> > You say 'Exactly how do you presume I am shunning the light by protecting the Palace from attack?'
> >
> > Feystrim says 'How many of the light reside within the walls of the palace?'
> >
> > You say 'I have yet to take a complete tally of every member of our Palace.'
> >
> > Feystrim smirks.
> > Feystrim says 'I feel fairly confident when I say none.'
> >
> > You raise an eyebrow at the notion.
> >
> > Feystrim says 'You have vouched to protect the darkness that dwells within.'
> >
> > You say 'I vouched to protect the lifet that dwells within, Feystrim. There is a difference.'
> >
> > Feystrim says 'None to my eye.'
> > Feystrim says 'Those that dwell within..your lives are the ones that I seek to take.'
> >
> > You say 'And unless you double as an Empire spy, felar, you cannot make any statement about it's making with any sort of accuracy.'
> >
> > Feystrim says 'A spy..'
> > Feystrim chuckles politely.
> >
> > You say 'What Edict guides your life?'

> > You say 'Are you guided by the War between light and darkness, or merely the Combat involved?'
> >
> > Feystrim says 'The war drow.'
> > Feystrim whispers 'The ongoing war..'
> >
> > You say 'That is a shame.'
> >
> > Feystrim says 'Oh?'
> > Feystrim says 'You insult my beliefs once more and I shall show you the war the light brings.'

> > Feystrim says 'Those that shun the light as I have said.'
> > Feystrim says 'A moment'
