While your recent article on Azuria was quite informative to the arcanely uneducated in Paragon City, I must object to the prejudiced comments made by Azuria near the end of the interview.
While I, unlike most of my colleagues, won't begrudge Azuria for the crimes of her Mu ancestors, as a former King of Orenbega I feel responsible for my peoples reputation must point out certain historical truths. I, Akarist and many other none CoT Orenbegans were quite put off by your reporting of those events.
For one, though you did manage to point out Ermeeth ultimate plan was to raise humanity above its base roots, the article seemed to make Hequat's attempted Genocide against us seem a noble endeavor. Hequat and Mu's society were anything but noble. At the Great Wars beginning Orenbega was a peaceful society, and Mu's unprovoked attacks against us irreparably harmed what may have been humanitys greatest chance to live forevermore in a utopia and rise above our base biological existence.
It was Mu who pushed my father and king before me to turn towards "demonic Forces" for self protection. Though it was a painful choice, if Mu had not been destroyed all of humanity would now be under subjugation of the gods. Though my countrymen have now fallen to corruption, remember that it was fighting for all our freedom that caused them to come to be in that state. Furthermore, examples such as myself prove that they are not above redemption.
So I please ask that in the future that you please show more respect to Ermeeth, and the ancient society of Orenbega, for all they have sacrificed so that the rest of us may Transcend and live free.
