Warmest tidings.

I know things have been difficult for many of you. A lot of what was known as true has proven to be otherwise, knowledge was kept from mortals and Divine alike, and it can seem as if the very ground upon which we walk has been shaken like a bad mixed drink.

Yet, life goes on and with it, so too do we.

It can be easy to place blame upon One Divine or another or even question why we, somehow, did not think of the scenario which we have found ourselves in. It is in times like this that we need not to reach for our double edged blades and wield them upon foe and friend alike, but rather seek understanding. Knowledge has been withheld and as seems to be the way of life, war yet looms upon the horizon. With this knowledge at hand, we can do but one thing.

Prepare to fight.

Within each of us is a spirit of resolve. This spirit is what allows us to cry out in defiance against a possible fate that would otherwise cast us aside and squash us as so much dross. Sapience, reach down deep within, find that spirit, and be not faint of heart. The Cycle continues, Truth prevails, we dream, and within each of us a fire burns deep and as bright as ever. Hold fast to life, hold fast to hope, and when the day is darkest, when the night seems neverending, look towards the Light. We will welcome you.

I pray each of us finds the resolve within to overcome whatever threats may be in the days to come.
