Genocide by a Different Color
Is Maroon and Ruby the same if they all lead to Red?

by Nicolas Kess in 2207AC


There were waves made at Mount Pavonis, by the base of the Tower of Aetius as our Lumin King himself attempted the unthinkable: To revoke the blessing that Giants receive.

Many stood against him. But an equal number stood alongside of him, mostly those of Arcadia and Delphina, ever loyal to their King.
But let not loyalty and the stark contrast of that blind someone to what is being laid out before our very eyes, as it's quite obvious this is simply the second step in what had started at Enos.

First, they physically destroyed their home. They killed them. They took their culture.
Now, they aim for what makes them unique and special.
This is Genocide, just in another coat and a new brand of makeup. Do not let it fool you.
As per one of my previous articles, I am certainly not a man that's particularly fond of Giants. They are loathsome and annoying, they take up far too much space and they frankly just cannot be trusted. Those of Enos inevitably screwed the pooch by their actions at Nereides, and I am not defending that whatsoever, however...

I would never insist upon destroying their culture and their very way of life, not to mention their blessing. That makes the culprits no better than the ones who committed Genocide within Drakanspire. Naturally there will be those who disagree with me and my direct comparison of the Lumin King to one Melos dul Vique, and you're free and fair to your opinions just as this author is.

Allow this to be your food for thought.
