What happened between Order of Law and Order of Nature.

[Akkarrin]

Many Officers of the past liked to keep secrets, and would not share these events with the people. I however am not one of those officers, and I swear on my Oath and seven years of being an Officer what is written here is entirely and completely the truth.

A lot of people have already heard of the events that happened between Law and Nature today, but I would rather that people got the whole story rather then some jumbled together version of the story.

I shall try to keep my own opinions out of this as much as possible and just state the facts, allow people to make up their own minds on the situation.
-------------------------------------------------
As has been stated in a previous post by Orin (Head Priest of Law), Me and Orin met Johnny Walac (Chancellor of Yew, who claims to represent the Order of Nature) yesterday.

Johnny stated that the Order of Nature were going to start hunting down necromancers without mercy, a huge argument ensued from this where we made it very clear no innocent could be harmed in Lord British's lands regardless of their class. But he stated that Necromancers were not innocent and their very magic was a crime against Gaea. We made it clear our feelings on the matter were irrelevant, Lord British made the laws and we had to enforce them. And that all innocents were protected in his lands by his laws, regardless of their class, even assassins and thief’s were welcomed if they had committed no crime. And then from my understanding there was the agreement that no necromancers would be harmed in Lord British’s land. And that this would be discussed in more depth when Simmo was present so we could get the actual Head Priest’s views.

But less then 24 hours later, whilst I was writing a letter to Simmo about Johnny’s conduct I got an alert from a member of my Order (Aerius) who informed me that a necromancer (who shall remain nameless unless she wishes otherwise) had been killed next to the library by a member of Nature (Castiel) the necromancer had committed no crime under the laws of Lord British. When I questioned Castiel on the situation he stated that the act of being a Necromancer was itself a crime under the laws of Gaea.

At which point Johnny and another two members of my order turned up (Lionel, and Elya). Johnny praised Castiel for doing Gaeas will and striking down the necromancer. As commanding officer people were looking for me on how to deal with the situation, I have never been placed in such a difficult situation. There was outrage from the other Officers that the Order of Nature would praise such bloodlust. I asked to speak to Simmo but he was asleep, at which point Elya advised that we all just leave this for now and leave it for Orin and Simmo to work out in a more formal location. I was happy with this but Johnny and Castiel were not

They claimed that they had done nothing wrong and had served the kingdom well, the necromancer left as was asked. At which point Castiel suggested they should burn down the building the necromancer was found in to ensure its purification (this idea was quickly forgotten). Me Elya and Lionnel asked them again and again to leave, and I even made a gate to Yew for them, we asked to leave it there and let the Head Priests sort it out as none of us were in a position to. But they refused Castiel insisted that he was not done patrolling and he was going to burn every necromancer he could find.
At which point Elya was left with no choice but to banish Castiel, Johnny attacked Elya and was then marked as an outlaw. Me and Lionel chased Johnny out of the town but opted to end it there rather then pursue him.

At which point we thought it was over, and I went about my business dealing with other issues people had had through the day. And then after half an hour I went to my room in the temple to send the letter I had written to Simmo earlier, at which point Castiel turned up again. Before I could even ask him to leave, I saw that he was fully blessed and he attacked me without a word. Being unblessed and not having a weapon to hand I decided my only hope was to run to guards and hope they would stop Castiel long enough so that I could prepare for battle, on my way running out I found Johnny still marked as an outlaw. At this point I remember that guards would not fight Order of Nature under old orders as it helped us better deal with Tekstones.

Unblessed and outnumbered I promptly died as I tried to run, as soon as I recovered I was chased again. But this time I escaped, I blessed and Elya arrived as I got reports from all over the city that two outlaws were running around the city unchallenged by guards. Me and Elya sought them out but we could find no signs of them and decided that this time they had left.

Me and Elya stood guard at the temple as Orin and an acolyte of Nature turned up (Alus). We explained the situation and he explained that we had been in the wrong for defending necromancers, we agreed a meeting between the head priests had to be arranged to be sorted.
---------------------------------------
And there it is the whole story, there was a lot more talking in the initial confrontation it lasted near half an hour, I left that out cause I did not believe anyone would have the patience to read it.

I have heard rumours from friends in Nature that punishments have been enacted on Johnny and Castiel for their actions, but I cannot confirm that
.
For the time being Castiel and Johnny are both banned from Lord British’s lands.

As well as any other member of Order of Nature who seeks to kill innocent people in Lord British’s realm. I really couldn’t give a damn about how just you feel your cause is.

I hope the head priest of nature see's that these priests and newly formed counsil members of yew are nothing but trouble and should not be allowed to study the ways of gaea everywhere they go they seek the blood of innocent people, and I wouldn't be surprised if all of a sudden they go full circle and believe in esuna once again.

Also shockingly they run in the face of experienced battle hardened members of law yet wish to slay the friendly mancers that harm no man or women in there life time, I hope to see them all behind bars in a co operated effort between the orders of law and nature.

If someone wishes to speak with the dead and study a codex even though they are not a wanted criminal does not mean that have harmed any person or any animal.

So unless you have proof of them hunting and killing animals or men, women and children I would suggest leaving them alone as they have not harmed anyone. And If I am not mistaken even those that worship Gaea can kill and harvest from animals aslong as they use everything that animal can provide.

[Johnny Walac]

Protecting necromancers is a crime against this Circle. Elya banished a member of Order of Nature which was why I had to kill her. I will not stand and watch as my friends are being assaulted for guarding the circle against the chaos necromancers bring. I choose to leave short there after but still I felt the fuel of rage against the officer Akkarrin for protecting the Necromancers so we decided he too should be punished and he was. I have said it before. The art of necromancy is the core to chaos and evil in this world. It is the offspring of Dennac and we must stop it before it spreads into the corrupted minds of tyranny. I urge all citizens to stay away from Necromancers and their allies.

My name is Johnny Walac and I am the Chancellor of Yew. I write this message with the authority from our Headpriest Simmo Alverena...In this message I warn all those who serve Dennac, I warn those who partake in the use of black magic or death magic. I also warn all those who affiliate with these people. The time of destruction is upon you. Order of Nature shall hereby on slay the enemies of this circle without mercy.

I´d like to point out a meeting with Orin who represents Order of Law. Lets have a chat about this and discuss about eveything which concerns future.
Meeting place is by me - heart of Yew. I want to meet as soon as possible.

Nothing about Johnny has changed since he was the Head of Tekstone, his blood lust will live on for eternity.

[Akkarrin]

The art of necromancy is the core to chaos and evil in this world.

At this point I feel compelled to tell you what this necromancer was doing when she was attacked, she was teaching one of our officers to learn the arts of healing.

I will not stand and watch as my friends are being assaulted

It was a banishment not an assault, Castiel is a big boy now Johnny I'm sure he would of been fine, it was the only way to end the situation without further blood shed.

I'd like to state my feelings on this, magic is not inherently good or evil it is how we use it that decides who we are and how we will be remembered. A druids spells can do as much harm to another person as a necromancer can. Should we just start casting druids in this same light as well, Natures justifications make no sense on this. In the future will they start attacking carpenters for cutting down a tree, or Cooks for fishing or a brave warrior in despise who is learning to train on lizards.

I do not know why Nature has suddenly decided to take such a harsh stance, but doing it in the name of a god who inspires neutrality and peace is disgraceful, and for the sake of the lands this has to stop.

Dear Akkariin,

One of our goals is to protect all the goodhearted animals in the lands - and trying to limit the amount of undead creatures and undead summoners (necromancers).
As i see you are putting Necromancer and a Druid in to the same class? Well i had no idea that your eyes are so closed.
I give you a short describe about Necromancers. The Necromancers need a codex damnorum to use their chants - with these they can control the dead and slay victims quickly.
And a druid? Druids are natural enemies of Necromancers. Its written down in their history. Druids are using powers which are given by Mother Earth. Big difference.

Magic that feeds on destroying life and drawing the souls of the dead into forced servitude is harmful to life itself. The natural circle of life and death is not questioned here. Necromancy intentionally breaks the boundaries of that circle to empower its practictioners. What they do destroys life. Their deaths can not repair the damage they do, but when crows and bugs feed on their remains, at least they pay off part of the debt.
