>>An empath intentionally harming another, even indirectly, shows a distinct lack of empathy in the literal sense of the word. This is why I'm generally against anything that nudges empaths into more action oriented roles (currently: manipulate and warrior.) It's very anti-thematic. There are several other reasons, but I won't derail the thread with them. The Empath Khalaen certainly have an interest in perpetuating the idea that Empaths all are cheerful pacifists who disdain action oriented roles. Quite a lot of effort has gone into maintaining this facade. It is only recently, due in part to the Empaths' role in dealing with Lyras has that facade begun to crack. More and more Empaths have started to realize that Empaths and Empathy are capable of much more than their leadership is willing to acknowledge, and many have begun to chafe at the idea that they're being deliberately held back and stunted. >>I'm just saying that I really hope that Empaths aren't putting out hits on anyone in the lore. I'm not sure how I'd rank Empaths on a shadiness scale, among all the guilds, but they're definitely in the top three. >>I don't think that "empaths are nice people" was in the lore to begin with. Well, no. But I mean, the guild does have an interest in perpetuating that idea. It just isn't, you know, true. <g>
