And I know it seemed that way. Bard + invoker is not a fight anyone really wants to go up against, so I don't blame you. We could go against groups of five without any real worry, unless they were villagers.

And honestly, of late I can't recall order ever swaying, and light generally always is. The forces of order I am guessing don't carry much weight. And lots of people are chaotic, and that influences things. Almost all villagers are for example. The balance is not a cabal thing alone, it's all players. Most people tend towads chaotic over orderly, tree or no.

Personally, I was happy to help outlanders if any of you asked and balance required it. I rarely saw the fetish out of place and order in sway, in fact I'd dare say it's been months. I used to ask outlanders back before your time. I always got rebuffed because I had hit the spirit before. You can blame Balta for that, he istilled the whole kill nexans/Allysia on sight thing which seems to have lingered on with current ones.

I am guessing it was you that asked if I had arrangements with the current mummies. The answer was a clear no, though you didn't wait to hear that. I actually really disliked Dvalygg and had been fighting him the day before. The other one I almost never saw, but did kill once I think pre mummy. Honestly didn't even know a thing about him. But I would not have hesitated to go after him. But you assumed otherwise I think.

That was Tavlin, but in general it has to do with scions. At one time when I was actually Rhyme it was my policy for nexans to slay any scarab on sight and to never aid a scion in any fashion, period.
Getting outlanders to do anything with us got to the point of futility after a while though.
