The explosives were stolen from Tay by Ardite personally, who taunted the guards as he escaped. The people of Tay have been preparing for the possibility of an invasion, or backlash from Sa, since then. Send your refugees to Myst, or Sa, or Everdunes, or Lyra. Tay is perhaps the worst possible option.

When will you be leaving channelwood to find herelding?

If memory serves, Lyra held Gehn's loyalists well.

What would be needed to reconstruct the old base on Tay? Even if it cannot hold every refugee, it would at least hold a good number of people.

I'm not sure what you mean by reconstruct. The refugees from Riven have created a lot of makeshift settlements to house themselves until they are allowed back on Riven. But there is no extra food. And just to reiterate, a group of reds recently attacked Tay and I had to flee for my life. I don't think this particular group should just show up unannounced. If the residents of Tay are ok with it, then I am too, but only then.

It really seems like there are better options.

I understand that, but any kind of peace for the foreseeable future requires both sides to learn how to stop fighting when the war ends. Any resentment is just going to cause another war.

What I am trying to say is that I dont think you all realize what exiling so many people is going to do for your children and your children's children.

If you all want peace so badly then drop your god drat swords.

It's complete ruins right now. There's plenty of bricks if you want to stack something simple up, but it isn't going to be fancy, or very livable to anyone who wouldn't be used to sleeping outside.

Still a better option than cramming half of Channelwood into Tay.

There's...no supplies on 234. It's not really sustainable for a population. If you're insisting that a group is exiled, Sa is dangerous right now but at least its supplies are plentiful.

As someone who was kidnapped off Riven I’m well aware of what that looks like.

But you refuse to accept the reality of the situation, which is, let me say again, no peace can happen without a distinct winning faction. You can try to give me the moral high ground all you want, but I am telling you your lofty high minded ideals are literally not possible or we would be pushing for that! I came here, being neither blue nor red, to try to find the most peaceful resolution possible. If it were up to me we would draft a ceasefire and there would be no exiles! But it can’t be done.

Why did Tay come up as an option? Because it's an Age sparsely populated by temporary residents. There is a minimal infrastructure there, largely devoted to housing and defense. It's not a very large age, but, we would not need very much of their ground space, being accustomed to vertical living in trees.

How would we feed ourselves? That is a question that must be answered no matter where the Lookout Dwellers make camp. I'm a little disturbed it comes up now as a rationale of discouraging Tay and was never so much as shrugged at when it was assumed we would be staying in Sa. Did the Goons think our people would sell ourselves to the Trader's guild for rations? No thanks.

We are leaving with supplies. We can feed ourselves, for a little while at least. To supplement those supplies, we can labor. If our people will be working for the betterment of an Age, I think we'd all rather it be Tay and not Sa, which now plays a direct part in exiling us from our home.

Who would we labor for on Lyra? On Myst?

Tay is a clear best option. And I would love to have consulted them before proposing the transition but, *my people are being exiled*. This isn't really a case of bad scheduling causing inconvenience. This is a case of historical tragedy causing desperation. And all of you responding with nothing helpful to suggest are missing the point that we are very literally homeless.

Upon hearing we're being forced to abandon our home age you want to make clear that we shouldn't pollute Tay with our unwelcome presence? Gee, Thanks.

I have a set for myself that I could loan in a pinch, but I don't want to make promises until I see what I'm working with. With that said...

You don't get to make decisions for the people you are foisting out of their homes.

The Red's will not return to Channelwood. We are forsaking the place.

The part we are so angry about is why this forced exile is necessary at all. Everyone seems to want to stop the fighting, yet are going to keep fighting if the exile doesnt happen? That doesnt make any sense at all.

You started this CLA as a way to end this two color farce. Yet all I see here is you punishing one side to stop the other from killing them. You really have a lot of explaining to do.

This is why I'm saying Tay is the worst option. The wildlife is poisonous, so the Tay residents are reliant on outside aid. So what will you labor at? It's not a suitable place for hunting or agriculture.

As for alternatives, I would say, honestly any of the other ages (except Rime apparently). I haven't been to all of them, but Tay is the only age that I've heard of that has problems with overpopulation and lack of food and water.

Guess what I am angry that its necessary as well. But guess what, its is so, you are not here. And it makes total sense, this is a war! I do not represent all the blues, plenty of them want to keep on fighting. Vermilion does not represent all the reds, plenty of them want to keep on fighting. You want to know what would happen if I and the leadership over here just threw down all our arms? The reds win, they permanently exile the blues. You want to know what happens if Blue and Red leadership throws down their arms and leaves? Both sides get new leadership, Channelwood destroys itself.

And I have explained myself thoroughly, over and over again. And CLA was never about over throwing the "color farce", it was about getting rid of the toxic leadership on both sides, making sure nobody has to get exile for life. I am not happy things turn out this way, but nobody has to die.

And again just so every outsider understands this, you can't just get rid of the color system all at once! Its how everyone defines themselves here. It has to be a gradual change.
