Simplicio: I am Simplicio. I have read the Acts of Iomedae, and therefore I am an Expert in Theology. In addition I am a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention.

Fiducia: I am Fiducia. I have studied the ways of Many Gods, but I am not so Arrogant as Simplicio. I am also a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention.

Valorus: I am Valorus, a Heroic Adventurer who sought to Liberate Cheliax from the Tyranny of Hell. I too am a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Verily, I say we ought declare War on the Tyrant of Molthune, who Lays his People to Waste with Cruelty, and is rumored to be a Lich.

Simplicio: We should Not.

Fiducia: I know little of Molthune, so I know not what to think. However Valorus has said more Words, so I believe I understand his Point better. Simplicio, why do you say we should Not declare war?

Simplicio: War is Evil.

Fiducia: But is not Gorum, God of War, a Neutral God?

Simplicio: He may be a Neutral God, but War is still Evil. For Besmarreh Goddess of Pirates is Neutral, and yet Pirates are Evil.

Fiducia: Be that as it may, Iomedae Too is a Goddess of War, who in life made War against the Lich Tyrant Tar-Barphon. She Commanded the Glorious Reclamation to fight the Thrunes, and now Commands her Followers to take up arms against Hell. She is a Good and Lawful Goddess, and the Patron of Cheliax. Are the Wars of Iomedae Evil?

Simplicio: I am going to Ignore that point because I cannot Refute it. In Iomedae's book, she writes that War is among the most Tragic of Human Endeavors. Therefore War is Evil.

Fiducia: Iomedae says that War is Tragic, but she does not say that War is Evil. There are many things that are Unfortunate but Necessary. It is Right to call them Tragic, but wrong to call them Evil.

Simplicio: But War kills people. Murder is Evil.

Fiducia: It is True that Murder is Evil. However that does not mean all Killing is Evil. To Execute a Condemned Prisoner is not Evil, or would you call all Magistrates Murderers? Just as it is Tragic when a Man commits Great Evil and must therefore be Executed, it is also Tragic when a Country commits Great Evil and therefore must be Conquered.

Simplicio: But if there is a War, I might be Called to Fight and therefore Perish.

Fiducia: I took you for a Fool, but I did not realize you were also a Coward.
