Tyrant,

I must admit, your humility in admitting the seriousness of the blow struck to Mhaldor and your Master is rather surprising. Perhaps there is some hope for the shackled masses of the west. I congratulate you on still having the capacity to show such a trait.

It would seem in your emotionally wounded state, that you seek to lash out at Hashan for the actions of the Dark Lord. Do you truly believe the Dark Lord would even need our help to advance His work? Surely you know more of Him than that.

It would also seem you require reminding of who we are.

Hashan is and remains an independent nation free from the constraints and 'virtues' of zealotry, dogma and slavery to a higher power and faith. We do as is needed to see this world advance beyond the crippling state so many of the other city-states seek to bring with their lesser ideals.

We are Hashan. We are the Court of Shadows. We are progress. We are the future. We kneel before no One and no thing, and that includes you, Mhaldor.

No, we shall not renounce the Dark Lord, for He has stood by Hashan for centuries and assisted us in our needs and we shall honor this pact.

You seek to target Hashan. You state you will attempt to bring suffering and ruin based on your misguided views.

Tell me tyrant, do you have anything new to offer? No...I daresay you do not.
