In the months to come - once the crucible of the Vorostran challenges has revealed what endures - I will begin to teach the Ways of Strife, as I have come to practice them.

I will host open, public instruction in the art of group combat. These gatherings are not merely drills, but trials meant to ensure that we are a worthy challenge to one another, to those who would test us, and to whatever future rises to meet us.

Should there be particular disciplines or tactics you wish addressed, make them known to me. I will gather such requests and, in due time, announce where and when these matters will be taken up.

If we are to uncover the hidden truths of our existence, we must first harden ourselves to survive them. We must challenge one another. We must drive each other to the brink and learn how to return stronger for it. Those who are untested must learn, adapt, and become more than they are.

And those who already walk with experience must do the harder work still: to unmake their comforts, to question familiar strategies, and to evolve rather than stagnate. Mastery that does not continue to change is merely decay wearing a proud name.

Strife without end,
Linyive 'Yive' Toirneach
