Which are you talking to, freedom fighter?

The clone soldiers, whose souls either are free already or will be very difficult to free? The Amarrian authorities, of whom you might eventually kill a couple if you're skilled and lucky? The Amarrian Holders, who are of such rank as to be trusted by their society with the ownership of slaves?

Or, would that be the non-slave holding Amarrian common folk-- artisans, farmers, teachers-- Mr. "Horned Wolf" offers to slaughter?

If it is the last, you will have to speak louder. Few of them can access this forum to even receive your message.

Soldier, being as I'm an Achur, my people have stolen no one that I'm aware of. And yes, the Amarr have a bit of a history-- but then, so do the Gallente. The Amarr conquered the Matari over a thousand years ago. This most recent war is not of Amarrian making-- but it is the product of a long-running Matari scheme to divert aid from the Gallente Federation to construct an invasion fleet.

Also, if the Amarr are that wicked, are you so sure you want to reach for their level of moral behavior?

They do have a sizeable percentage still enslaved, yes-- most of whom, if the recent release of many of them by order of the empress is any guide, are now faithful Amarr believers. The Amarr are not the only slavemasters in New Eden, nor the cruelest, but I do give them credit for being some of the most ... well, persuasive. Several generations of theological study and menial labor will break down most cultures very effectively.

All of that said, their methods are nothing to those of the Sansha.

The Amarr, were they to resume their Reclaiming at scrambler-point, would indeed be a threat to us all. But there are other issues in play.

You ask about the Gallente. The Caldari fight them (to put it in the most simplistic manner possible) because the Gallente stole the only home the Caldari have ever truly cared for-- their homeworld, Caldari Prime. The Caldari just call it "Home." The Gallente, of course, had their reasons.

That war may possibly be nearing its end, but until the Gallente are no longer a threat the Caldari will never side against the Amarr. They don't especially like slavery, but they have their reasons as well.

As you have yours, as the Amarr have theirs.

Soldier, respectfully, it appears that you want to play the hero's role in all of this-- even if you must martyr your soul to your cause, you seem to do it because you believe your cause is a just one. This universe of ours will not, itself, validate your actions. There will be no chorus of benevolent spirits if the Amarr fall-- and by now you are surely aware that the Amarr, too, believe their cause is just.

This universe does not love an idealist, soldier, because it, itself, holds no ideal. If you stain your hands with the blood of many blameless people, what you will accomplish is to poison your soul-- and by that, I do not mean that you will go to some spiritual domain to be punished.

I mean that your life will become a corruptive force, a stain, a blight on the lives of others, not least on those who follow your example and become blights themselves. It is our role to be swords in the hands of others, but you seem ready to volunteer to become a murderous weapon.

If that is your path, so be it. But there will be nothing heroic in what you do, or in the sacrifice you make of yourself.

And what's more, since Mr. Horned Wolf has bungled his calculations horribly, you won't even be serving your cause.

No hostile acts were commit toward you or your people. We wish to put you on the path to God's mercy and Salvation.

You fail to listen then, I am done with your arguments. I have accepted that my people hold slaves, explained to you why, explained to you our creed and views towards those who toil in God's name, I have given evidence of the brutality of the other nations, and I have accepted our own where proven.

Buy you do not listen.

The enslavement of races is a part of our culture that dates back to the earliest of Amarrian histories it is our way of allowing the races to come to the same sense of realisation we did in the past through long toil and sufferage, it is our belief that with such trials overcome one can be closer to God and therefore responsible for their mortal soul.

"Only through many hardships
Is a man stripped to his very foundations
And in such a state
Devoid of distractions
Is his soul free to soar
And in this
He is closest to God"
- The Scriptures, Book of Missions 42:5

Once a race is deemed worthy it is inducted into the Empire as equals, as brothers and sisters and all of God's children. Such was done with the Ni Kunni and now they are a proud productive people within our great empire, such was the fate of the Ammatar who too have come to see God's design, and were once of the Matari peoples.

It is the goal of the Amarrian empire to extend the light of God's word to the furthest starts of this galaxy so that all the people of New Eden will be united by a single purpose and faith, and that in that blissful unity we may all know true peace, both in body and soul, in this life and in God's promised land.
