Lesson in Language

"Individuals who continue to interfere with the goals of the Light will
find themselves enemied and slain though no action will be taken against
your nation as a whole."

Simple grammar defeats you Jazella. I asked for a copy of the pertinent
details of the agreement and was denied, but that is besides the point.
What you have shared with the Basin merely undermines your own purpose
and reveals that not only is Celest incapable of making an intelligent
legal document, but resorts to fallacious attacks to make themselves
appear in the right.

Allow me to explain. I am assuming that this business about aiding and
defending Magnagora is intended to be derived from the above quoted
clause. However, when someone says ?simply put,? I wonder why the feel
the need to write in a ?higher level language.? Simply put, what often
happens is the intended meaning and the actual meaning differ.

I don't give a damn about the intended meaning or the ?simply put.? What
the above quoted clause means is this: anyone who interferes with the
goals of the Light will be enemied, and Celest will not take action
against Serenwilde as a whole as a result from individuals' actions. No
where does it state anything about attacking Celest as a whole; I
believe, without allowed access to the entire document and assuming no
alternate clause prevents the possibility, that Serenwilde (as
individuals) could march against Celest without breaking the agreement.
The first part of the clause clearly indicates that Celest is talking,
and a result, ?your nation? clearly means Serenwilde.

Jazella, before you insult Serenwilde for being incapable of
understanding language, I ask one of two things: understand it yourself
or present better justification for your claims. As it stands,
Serenwilde hasn't breached anything you have quoted.
