To all,

It is now readily known to all that the alignment of the Seventh is loyal to the Overlord.
I wish to now clarify the meaning of that decision, so as to ward off any possible future misunderstanding of what it may entail.
I declared myself loyal to Lord Eros out of respect for him and his wife, the Lady Topaz Eludes for the simple reason that I have known them both for some time now and have never questioned their respect for this place, nor seen reason to consider either below my best regards.
I will, however, clarify that I am a violent protestant of the Test of Worthiness, except in some gravely obvious cases where it must be used. If I see or percieve said Test, or an intercession from Lord Eros to be little but an attempt either by himself, or the Baron he interceeds for, to humiliate a challenger that the community sees as fit to challenge for title. I will swiftly and unerringly change my alignment to Renegade and do as I
see proper from that point.
This does not in any way show a diminishment for my regard for Lord Eros and his reign, but does in effect establish my stance on certain matters within this realm. I serve the ideals that I believe this community was founded on....and I will honor the title I hold by not passively ignoring something I may percieve as wrong while I bear it.
Let me once again state that I consider Eros a worthy bearer of the Crown of our sport, and I in no way dislike or hold him in any ill regard. But I will not see, and I would hope that others would not, an abuse of something as powerful as the intercession of the Overlord. I would not accept it in the reign of the Cleric, I refused to accept it in Dalamars' and I will not shift my stance on this in Lord Eros' reign, no matter my regard for
the man holding the Crown.

Respectfully,
