Sultan Thrain,

Your words, though sugared with pleas for the well being of Sapience,
are clear. If you attempt to end my pursuit for the pages passed down
from my ancestors, it shall not be tolerated. Thus I offer you a choice.
Retract your statement, and I will allow you to claim neutrality, or
continue on the path you have laid out for yourself, and suffer wrath
like you have never known. I will not allow a simpleton with the
literary capacity of a fledgling to dissuade me in this venture. A note
to those of you seeking to aide Thrain, should he make the wrong choice
in this, you will suffer a fate no better than his.
