Take heed Sapience, we are not the ones in the wrong here. These zealous fools of the Mitrine would bring danger to us all with this misguided worship of theirs. This is not an imprisonment of slavery, but one of keeping a populace safe from a grave threat.

Mitrine,

We offered you peace and freedom to step forth into our temple and honour the spirit. Yet despite our warnings of its dangerous nature, you chose to spit on our goodwill and betray us by attempting to free it.

You want war? So be it. We will sink your meager settlement into the earth along with those Imps.


Signed,
Emperor Pa'akth, of the Ophidian Empire.

Penned by my hand on Gosday, the 2nd of Haernos, in the year 473 MA.
