The Morden: Allies or Enemies?

Some say maintaining an amiable relationship with our Morden neighbors is more important than our duty to the memory of Azunai the Defender. But I say that we must hold fast to our beliefs. These Morden are no better than the Seck who fought with Zaramoth against the great Azunai during the War of Legions so long ago. They themselves believe that they are the children of the Unmaker; how can we, in good conscience, have commerce with them? Or even friendship, in some cases?
Even those who do not have the proper attitude towards the Defender and his teachings must see that alliance with the Morden will bring us nothing but evil -- especially as they follow such a strange leader as Valdis.
He is a Human himself, not a Morden. Morden traders have been known to attack in anger any who so much as speak ill of him. Clearly, something very strange has occurred to make the Morden to fiercely loyal to this man, when most Humans are barely tolerated by them.
Moreover, more and more of our young fighters are being recruited to the Morden armies. The pay is good, but stories come back to us of how they are treated by their Morden commanders. No pay is worth being forced to bow and scrape to the Morden dogs. And who will be left to defend us against an attack? If this trend continues, all of our settlements will be left open to any bandits who care to stroll in and take whatever they like. Our leaders must be convinced to stand up to this threat.
