It is my understanding that Sir Edmund did not turn in his white belt;
he merely refused to wear it for the duration of the War (from Saturday
afternoon on 8/15 onward) because he felt that it had been dishonored by
the behavior of the Midrealm Rulers/War Council demonstrated after the
Mountain Pass Battle on Saturday morning.  I have always found Sir
Edmund to be an extremely honorable and reasonable man, and I would not
question his actions in this particular matter.  Other members of the
Midrealm, chivalry and non-chivalry alike, were also outraged by the
conduct of the Middle.

In Service to Atlantia,

Luned, Crown Princess
