ALERT: Recent Paladin Aggression

[ladypeacek]

[...] paladins wouldn't have any concept of what it means in terms of supernatural.

If you have intimate information on the inner workings of Paladins, please, I implore you to share this with the community at large. It is imperative that we maintain the balance between our species, and currently, four attacks in forty-eight hours scream something more sinister.

To those you have seen join the ranks of the Peacekeeper's mission and leave: They are not who they claim to be. They take advantage of deep cowardice and fear instead of committing to a true creed. They hide, and in this time that myself and the other High Councilors, we pledge to purge our ranks of those who wish to hide. What you have seen and known in years past is not the core values we have been working to relay and display as of late.

Rubi is probably one of your best sources. The girl can't keep herself out of their camps.

Even if you deeply believe your values would never change, even if you believe that those who do leave, are not who they claim to be, you will need to remove the expectation that humans and supernaturals around you have faith in you, a bloodthirsty creature all too capable of murder because you say it is so. Faith is a whole lot to ask for an eternity. Peacekeepers are not Gods. Purging doesn't sound like peacekeeping, either.

Having been a splinter in my life, with a very specific code that I still very much believe, it is not always cowardice that causes one to leave. Who knows, maybe they still believe in the core values, but an organization doesn't always prove to be the best method to live such principals. They are easily corrupted and manipulated away from the original purpose. I left splinters and yet, I still have the very base core beliefs. In my eyes, the organization did not fulfill it's values in a way that made sense to me. I believe what they stood for, but not so much in the way they lived it. Leaving peacekeepers should not make one a coward or a traitor, not if peace is truly what you're after. People cannot find peace being held captive by a structure.

How far would you go to bring peace and what authority do you have to decide how peace is defined by each individual.

I implore all citizens to maintain their focus on the severity of the situation and a possible uprising. There can be time for debate on the true feelings of cows and other such creatures when information is not so imperative. Protect your fledglings, and maintain vigilance.

In Varietate Concordia.

Yours in service and honor,
High Councilor of Battle Cloak
Mrs. C. Matsuda

I've only encountered a Paladin once since they entered the city. Perhaps they're on to you and you're being specifically targeted?

Probably the cows you insulted sent them, if you've been saying that blasphemy out loud

I've not yet encountered one myself. It does seem like they may be on to the peacekeepers specifically.

[Roque]

you're being specifically targeted?

All jokes about livestock aside, I have to agree with this sentiment and the idea that someone, maybe amongst our ranks, is targeting the Peacekeeper's buildings initially. Information about their current events is made public here, for now. Who amongst yourselves would have something to gain if the Peacekeepers no longer existed? Perhaps our local reporter, Brom Narum, can help dig up more information.

Now before we get blamed for Paladins going rogue. One of ours did zero a nightwatch member at one point.. Their head is on our wall, literally. We use the skull as a candle holder. We were training ours to leave you guys alone and target the feral werewolves running loose. It works on some of them but.. in every species there's dissidents.. Ones who won't kneel no matter how hard you break their legs.
we should know.. we are one.

Now the only reason we can see them attacking you is because you're giving the supernatural, a defence mechanism. A way to prevent them killing each other. Ultimately making the Paladin's job a smidge harder. No one will go near your building if they get attacked when they try, thus preventing anyone else getting a shield. Pretty standard siege tactics.. May we suggest adding tunnels under your building?

Thank you, Mrs. Matsuda, for signaling an alert to the wider community. With increased traffic to both the First and Third locations of the Peacekeeper's Missions, the concern for an opportunistic attack remains quite high. While noticing a lone Paladin on patrol in one area is not wholly uncommon, being attacked by three within such a short period is not. That, coupled with the attack at a separate location, and the recent confirmation of yet a fifth Paladin attack outside of Building 1, I must reiterate my colleague's words: protect yourselves, protect your young ones, and stay on alert around Emerald & 67th and Emerald & 33rd.

For all current members of the Peacekeeper's Guild, aspiring members, or citizens in the above areas, be advised: My husband Luciano and I will continue to maintain a perimeter around the First location. Mrs. Matsuda has confirmed that she and her progeny, Millie, will secure the area around Emerald & 33rd. If any current members or otherwise would like to dedicate their time and energy to a counter-patrol for Building 2 at Unicorn & 33rd, please reach out to me, my colleague, or any ambassador. We thank you for your service.

We understand any distrust you may have in The Peacekeeper's Guild as an entity, and I thank Mayor Pea for being willing to speak on it. We, as a whole, have done little in the past to encourage the citizens of this city to grant us good faith. And while each member of The Peacekeeper's Guild has their own reasons for joining and the code they live by, we're united in the desire to alter current perceptions and give all reason to respect and value a pledge to Neutrality, to Battlecloak, or both.

I hope that you carry your questions, your comments, your concerns, and your debates forward with us as we initiate an open forum in the future. Once we have more details on that, we'll be certain to share with all in the city and we look forward to your engagement.

Thank you to all while we continue to monitor this situation and thank you to all who reached out privately to check on me. Your concern has been truly touching. We will continue to work closely with anyone who has additional information.

In Varietate Concordia.

I am available to coordinate any perimeter checks. Thank you to all those concerned about the safety of my wife and other High Councilors. It is on us to protect the institutes of balance.

[Vanitas]

I have on good authority that hunters and paladins, like many of us, operate under different banners, credos, and factions. If there were paladins targeting the Peacekeepers specifically, I imagine your best bet would be to look for symbols and coats of arms? Tattoos? (Of bunnies?) If you will allow me a moment of whimsy, I might say that this specific faction are confused as to what the Peacekeepers are and do. Perhaps they’ve awful intel people who are confused about how the cloaks work and believe that their protection extends to humans? The mind boggles!

Whatever it is, I hope it’s addressed soon and with as little incident as possible. Best of luck!
