Post by **Alatar** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:02 pm

"Why did you and your folk three times try to attack my people at their merrymaking?"

Post by **Inanna** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:04 pm

We have not done evil on the road, but we have done evil to ourselves. And forgive it.

Post by **Alatar** » Wed Feb 17, 2021 11:14 am
