Foss,
History has proven your actions do not always follow your high ideals, Feel free to take insult if you wish. If you wish to help Badwolf, you are welcome to it, however as is your habit you allow your passion for helping blind you to potentials you do not like. The last time you ignored my council you spent a year in shadows and months in the gutter awash in drink and intoxicated.
Badwolf may well be helped, but I also recognize that he has reached out through reasonably powerful forces, through nightmares, not a month after the hags have been put down. Declaring that he shall be helped regardless of what the situation is, is foolish, should it be that he have had no option and is willing to work to remedy it is one thing, but if he has decided to do something without considering the risk to my people, and proves unwilling to be forthcoming or to turn from the path, then I will not be one to find myself shackled by hasty promises.
You have a choice, admit that your treatment of this will be dependent on the facts, or admit that you hold your oaths so tenuous that you are willing to make them knowing that you will break them if the world is not as you wish it. Otherwise you have a third and final option, to proclaim that you would help a friend, even if they are engaged in foolish dangerous actions that could threaten the multitudes, without any critical thought or consideration to your duty to the land or the people. You have already proven that you are capable of the third, you have told me many times in recent months that such actions where in your past. Please explain to me how your unconditional pledge of support leaves you with the option of doing what may someday become an unfortunately duty without breaking your oath.
I owe my people a greater responsibility than the making of blind oaths, I owe them vigilance and careful tending. These dreams cause harm, resurrections have been seen in the recent past from things exactly of this nature, do you owe Lightning no duty? What of my wife, who has always spoken restraint and support in your favor, you would allow her discomfort, and potentially harm just to take a stand on something you have absolutely no information on yet?
No, this event was an assault on my Keep and the people with in it, and I will have answers. I have never refused aid to anyone that I could assist and this will be no difference, but forsaking your oaths and duties in blind support of a friend is one of the most dangerous and deadly of transgressions no matter how tenderhearted it's source.
I will wait and see until I have more information, but understand that I will support those of my house, even while I may seek to temper their wrath, as far as the rule of Law allows me.
-Lord Enan Bluewater
