Huh? ... what !! ... are you mad? Sidious Send a noteboard - 21/10/2010 05:05:16 PM

As for the other crimes you attribute to them, the only known case of murder by the Children was by the same renegade officer and rapist.


TGH (The Shadow in Shienar) - Bornhold suppressed the growl that rose in his throat. Pacified. He wondered if the bodies had been piled outside the village, or if they had been thrown into the river. It would be like the Questioners, cold enough to kill an entire village for secrecy and stupid enough to throw the bodies into the river to float downstream and trumpet their deed from Alcruna to Tanchico.

Is mass murder not a crime now, or are you seriously going to pimp this as 'war' where anything goes? Actually, they're just marching around looking for trouble as usual, and the Questioners are purging the way for them. There's also no PoV trap here - this is from Bornhold himself. Not only that, but Bornhold suggests that this sort of event is not unique, and that the Questioners are not averse to radical activities, and are so clumsy in their bloodlust that they advertise their atrocities to the entire surrounding area due to stupidity alone.

Let's see a single event in the Tower's flawed history that comes even close to this event that hardly stands out in Whitecloak daily activites.

Why don't you actually look beyond the blather of prejudiced characters before you start casting stones that apply equally to the side you defend! At least the Children are acting in the name of the Light and the greater good, while the Tower serves nothing but itself.


In that same chapter Bornhold says that the Questioners are defined by their mastery of torture and that they decide guilt even before they begin. How is that 'acting in the name of the Light'? They don't even investigate the darkfriends properly, and force a confession if they feel like one, as said from a Lord Captain himself. By your analogy we might as well hang a pig and burn it, and say that 'at least the local populace are against witchcraft' when in actual fact they don't know how to investigate, take most of their delight from the act of torture and execution, and most importantly, kill the WRONG targets.

Go look up the definition of the word atrocity - 25/10/2010 04:53:55 PM 880 Views
Maybe you should have done that yourself: "behaviour or an action that is wicked or ruthless" - 27/10/2010 11:11:30 AM 843 Views
the fact that you can't differentiate between the extermination of an entire village - 27/10/2010 08:30:12 PM 881 Views
READ; I *did* differentiate between them. It doesn't change the fact all are atrocious deeds - 28/10/2010 09:00:56 AM 978 Views

You asked for atrocities and you got them. Now you just don't know what to do with them. - 28/10/2010 06:49:16 PM 904 Views
dude, you gave us a list of petty crimes and compared it to mass murder - 28/10/2010 06:59:33 PM 869 Views

But that is irrelevant. Aes Sedai can also go to Amadicia in disguise. *NM* - 21/10/2010 05:35:18 AM 460 Views
