The WOL and Mass Murder

[SkyEdge1]

I'm trying to think.

Honestly? Nothing comes to mind, every time Garlemald comes up it's either the PoV of us as the defenders, dealing with the brutality of their military (as though anyone in war could claim to be free of sin) or we are dealing with ex-patriots who have shunned Garlemald for one reason or another. It's a huge gripe for me because there is no way in the seven hells that every citizen of Garlemald could be 'evil' that's just lazy storytelling. This is probably my only real problem with how we have dealt with our main enemy, Ascian notwithstanding. We as the WoL get carte blanch for all our actions, and the nation's and military we represent is again given a pass since it's always "for the greater good" but we see that good from our perspective only. The are hundreds of thousands of people living in Garlemald who have lived under the auspices of their government for ages and have grown up hearing about the supernatural monsters that plague other nations and how they are trying to rid the world of those monsters and bring peace under one banner. Yes the military we have been exposed to are cartoonishly evil, but that's one portion of a large empire. I wouldn't call every person in Garlemald a villain simply on the unsanctioned actions of Nael, or the misguided pursuit of Gaius and even to a degree the nihilistic nature of Zenos.
