"These words are not wrong, and perhaps it is true that the wrong view is being taken especially when regarding Tamoran designs for the region. However, what you're proposing would see Djerb deliberately acting to keep both myself, and Clysperis, ostracized in the region which is a policy they've followed for some time now. These are not quite the actions of a friend, and technically they're my family," she chuckled. "I won't be pursuing this path," Akasha continued, "yet I do not believe I would wish to deal with Heydar as a friend even absent his campaign against me. I've already highlighted how his actions against the Iwi were foolish, his deflection upon me due to the sins of Royal Seleucid to the Cultists is disgusting, and while he parades modern toys and constructs his nation maintains indentured servitude and denies equal rights to all peoples within his borders. He represents the past of Midaranye just as much as Abbas does in some regards."
"We need to give birth to a future which sees a Midaranye that can keep its traditions, but one that recognizes that some things aren't traditions but abuses against Ma'at, or the universal good. Overcoming some of the poisoning of the well I've seen from certain people will require some effort and, to those ends, I'm open to advice."
