Greetings Citizens of Sapience.

Doubtless you all know of the events currently occuring in our very
midst. The two Divine Chakrasul and Arion have returned to our lands,
and for all that has been said, we stand on the verge of destruction.
Now is the time for us to stand together and defend our lands, defend
them not only to keep our lifestyle, but to prove our desire to fight,
to prove our desire to lead our own lives.

We are only strong if we stand united, as you have undoubtedly seen, or
heard, divide we will fail in our attempts to protect our homes. We hear
the promises of new power and glory. I see not how corruption can be
seen as glory, nor how anyone can support these claims, excepting those
that are as corrupt as the Lady herself.

Doubtless you have bored of what I say already, but please, Do not let
your attention wander, we need to unite the People of Sapience in a bond
closer then ever before. We must put aside ALL our personal differences
and be prepared to sacrifice ourselves, sacrifice our blood and sacfrice
our work, in return for the preservation of what our lives were.

To Chakrasul, the Citizens of Ashtan have always been, and will always
be, loyal to the Bastion of the North. Power may come from corruption,
but glory does not. Glory is what you gain by sacfricing all you have in
an attempt to stop that which is evil. It is what you gain by proving to
the world that you are true to your ideals.

The Bastion of the North will not be more glorious then it ever has been
with you as its Divine leader. In fact, it will fall to a new low, as
the powers of corruption fill it. Rather then simply assuming that you
are right, you should see what is the truth. The TRUTH is that I am
willing to sacrifice my life to ensure the survival of Ashtan, as are
the VAST majority of its citizens, as are countless citizens of other
Cities who are working incessently to fight the corruption that exists.
We do not want to be part of this fight, we do not like being used as
pawns, in the games of the Divine, but if we must, we shall. We shall
fight and our desire to win will prevail.

Again to the Citizens of Sapience, United we shall Stand, and we shall
drive back the corruption that threatens us all, divided we shall fall
and fall into a new dark era, in the Midnight Age.

Put your differences behind you, join the fight and accept the truth. Do
not let corruption take over your life.
