As I prepare to make my way towards Valdanis. I wanted to leave some parting words over the weekend. We did some real good this weekend, the kingdom is saved again, the Dreadlord turned to ash. We did these things together, no one was a hero alone. No one person was more responsible for seeing these tasks done than another. For when we bleed and die together we are all equals.
I watched the town almost come to civil war this weekend. Nothing good comes from us fighting amongst each other. Nothing good comes from us willingly giving up our lives. I desperately hope this is a lesson the town learns from.
I've watched what happens when adventurers go to war with each other. I've been part of those wars. I've done terrible things in the name of my friend's honor. If things continue to head this way, the only thing that awaits us is death. Maybe you'll survive if you're lucky but, you'll lose friends along the way. Lots of them.
Instead of this path, I implore all of you to consider the alternative. Make peace and extend hand in friendship. We all work towards the same goals. And yes, we may frustrate, annoy, or even upset each other. However, when the time comes we need to be able to put that aside and work together.
Respect isn't something that is just earned, it's something that's constantly purchased. The currency is nice words after a rough battle. The currency is running through the enemy line to retrieve someone who's name you don't even know. The currency is information shared. With out that upkeep, respect withers and dies.
Even behind closed doors, angry words, accusations, and insults serve to undermine that purpose and bring us closer to oblivion.
The breakdown between adventurers that happened this weekend must never happen again, or the community here is doomed. And with it Wayside.
It is time to stop paying our debts to each other with our spirits, and instead start paying them with respect, hard work, and friendship.
