Open letter to the newcomers near Dagliano

[Polare]

Greetings.

I am addressing this to those who have not enjoyed the ambiance of the local Dream Realm for very long; to wit, newcomers to Dagliano or those who have only recently journeyed here in their dreams.

For a couple of weeks now, there has been some rather interesting topics brought up which several of these newcomers have commented upon in ways which, shall we say, show less than the expected amount of respect. Rarely before have I seen the King of Dreams himself need to become involved in a conversation due to the bickering and insults thrown around, and I thought that such an occurance deserved comment.

Might I suggest that those who are unused to Dagliano or those who journey here in their dreams have a bit more respect for those who live here or journey here regularly. Going into somebody's home and poking them with a stick is no way to gain respect for oneself -- and if you are the type who thinks they "don't need respect", well, I will say that you are in for some surprises should you ever journey to Dagliano in person.

For the sake of keeping our dreams a bit more peaceful, you should spend some time learning who's who and appropriate means of discourse before making comments which you cannot back up. If you mean to disagree, that's fine; however, questioning the honor, abilities, or courage of people you have never met or only met once or twice is beyond foolish, it is the type of thing that will get you in trouble. No threats, no promises, just an observation in my position as Ambassador of several lands. Comments such as those which have been made recently by rash newcomers will end up landing them in trouble, and trouble is rarely a good thing.

You may want to broaden this a bit- people should just as well not throw stones into the boat they travel in. You will find that you eventually sink regardless of how calm the waters are.

I wish so many people didn't wish my own harm, but I've grown used to it. It was oddly insightful to see how poorly everyone thought of me even when traveling alone in Ironwood. If not for needing my assistance I am doubtful many would have even spoken to me. I am so curious as to what wrongs I have brought so many people.

It is odd how gaje bind themselves so dramatically to disliking my kind, but trust me... none of you really want to be harassed, mistrusted, and left alone simply because of spoken words. It is a very lonely road to be disliked by so many people for such insignificant reasons.

Balryn,

You make a good point, and perhaps I should have included it originally. I travelled with you quite a bit some years ago, and I too do not understand why people are so rude to those of your kin. Having come from Highpoint, a town which was at one point more of your kind than any other, I know that judging any individual by the clothes they wear (metaphorically in most cases, literal in yours) is worse than foolish. Every individual is different -- a truism which most people do not care to remember. Your kin are generalized more than most, unfortunately, and I understand where you are coming from with your comments.
