Voice,

In recent discussions, I've observed a troubling and dangerous practice of blanket xenophobia, where the actions of a few are unfairly attributed to an entire group. Specifically, I'm referring to the unjust vilification of entire cities or peoples due to the actions of individuals like Varach Scolrys.

Surely, we can all agree that condemning an entire city because of the actions of one individual is not only unjust but also counterproductive. Just as we wouldn't appreciate being judged based on the actions of a single person from our cities, we must extend the same courtesy to others.

Take, for instance, the recent discourse from the City of Djeir. It's ludicrous to assume that all Djeirani are corrupt simply because they publicly declare their respects to the Dark Lady, Chakrasul for their existence. Just as it would be absurd to condemn someone like Rhulin Glintspear because of his lineage, which may have connections to the dwellers of the deep.

We must resist the urge to succumb to xenophobia and instead embrace a more enlightened perspective. The Cycle of Life and Death transcends boundaries and encompasses all who revel in its essence. Just as we hold onto our values, we must recognize that others may also uphold similar principles, even if they hail from different backgrounds.

Let us strive to be better, to rise above baseless prejudices and embrace unity. Instead of condemning, let us seek understanding and cooperation. Together, we can build a world where diversity is celebrated, and mutual respect is paramount.

The Cycle is more than just the forests; it is a force that binds us all. Let us honor that unity and work towards a brighter future for all.

Until the Inevitable End,

His Arbiter, Ulo
