My dear Iereas, you ought to know by now that when you speak to a
creature that has personally chosen a weak form and a life of absolute
servitude, you cannot be speaking to a rational entity. You must
approach it from their standpoint: That consequences apply to everyone
but themselves.

Let us use logic to approach this rather fundamental situation, and
we'll see the true rationale. Bloodloch as it is now does not even need
to exist. In fact, it is amusing to hear Bloodloch speak as if it had an
actual standing in the last "treaty negotiations." The only negotiation
that took place involved you satisfying our requirements in return for
us leaving you with the peace we wanted in the first place. Never mind
the fact that they have been the sole aggressors for two seperate wars.

Simply the fact that we allowed Bloodloch to even have their city back
was proof that we never wanted anything but peace in the first place. We
would be absolutely foolish to think we could just say "OK, now you
creatures be nice," and expect them to actually listen without any
incentive for them to do so. I would think that any sane, logical and
thinking entity would understand that we didn't have to allow you to
live to bastardize yourselves and threaten our way of life. We did so
because we want peace, but, as opossed to Darkness, we value Life. We
value keeping our friends and family safe.

When your way of life threatens ours, you are immediately a problem.
When you believe you can act any way you wish and not expect any
consequences to come, you are only fooling yourselves. While the study
of death and decay interests you, and you do not obviously have any
value on life because of it, it's impossible for you to understand why
you don't have a right to lay a finger on any of us, for any reason.

It's a simple thing. You do not touch us, and we'll not touch you. This
can continue to go on endlessly, in all reality. This could also signify
an end to this, if you wish it to be so. It is really not up to us at
this point, but up to you. We will continue to defend our own, while you
continue to destroy your own, if it is your wish that such a thing come
to pass. A parasite that is eradicating itself.
