But you didn't play a moron, who closes his eyes on the evil deeds, or the information, concerning such deeds. I saw with many different chars through the years how sylvans killing storm giants in the kiadana-rah. I can say it, since Sassmi is dead now, that she(he) have been killing them there too. And how can your character do not know this, when everyone else do? Besides, you are a leader. Don't your squires inform you of the evil deeds, that happening in the lads?
I really think that 'my character disn't know!' is a poor excuse.
And this is strange to me - marans, and especially paladins is a very, very orderly structures. Paladin's code of honor built on the civilization and morale, which sylvans stands against. I know it, because a couple of years I had empowered paladin of Uller, and I've been digging into that really good (a shame I couldn't play that time, though I do not think I'd be a sylvan paladin). While I've been a sylvan, I even fought some paladins because of their beliefs/goals/ways. What I see now, is a 100% cooperation between maran-sylvan cabal. Is it bothering me? Not at all. But when you are raiding sylvan and whole maran cabal comes... disgusting.
