[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 7807519, member: 63"] Because she didn't believe that ideology. She knew it was valuable to have people who did have those views, but she was more of a 'run a global conspiracy that will hurt a lot of people for (what I see as) the greater good,' whereas Vekeshi mysticism is motivated a lot more by grievance and vengeance. She didn't, y'know, [i]create[/i] the mystics, but she was willing to use them. Kinda like Putin and the Russians using social media deception to mobilize and amplify the hostility of white nationalists and radical militias. Putin doesn't care about black people, but he knows that a bunch of violent racists could cause division in the US, and every bit of chaos deflects attention away from the stuff he's doing. As for Cula, here's her bio: By the time the convocation was being planned, Kasvarina created a proposal called Miller's Pyre not because she agreed with it, but because she wanted Nicodemus to pay attention and know that she understood that his best intentions would turn to ash. Cula, as suggested by the above bio, had a view of Kasvarina as a sincerely good person, but she wasn't. Cula was 'second in command' only in the sense that she oversaw and ran objectives among the eladrin in Elfaivar. She wasn't privy to the whole scheme. Kasvarina used her. But yeah, Cula was more moderate as Vekeshi mystics go. She was cutthroat enough to see the value of using the more radical mystics, but wouldn't have agreed with Kasvarina's full philosophy.
