Greetings, Achaea,

I write to you today to tell you of a decision that I have made. I will fight no more. I will be acquiring Grace, and I plan on keeping it. I am a politician, and I have known this for years. Thus, I will be following my desires and flex my muscle only in the political realms.

I have attempted, many times before, to express my dislike of physical combat. I even vowed to cease my fighting if the day came that I was elected as a Regent of Hashan. That day has come, and thus I lay my dirk and whip to rest forever.

City enemies come into my city and harass my residents, and then wonder why they are attacked. I try to have a formal meeting with a God and am attacked because someone -thought- I was part of a different Guild. I do not believe in peace, far from it. However, I will not take part in combat, for it is a futile effort on my part. I see no need to attempt to prove who I am just by the slaying of another, since that is not what makes me. I tend to think that I have more intelligence than that.

To my Residents of fair Hashan, I now dedicate myself totally to you. The time has come for Hashan to irradicate its enemies, and we now have the means to do it. I will stand proudly by your side as we direct the tide of this Realm. It shall be, indeed, an enjoyable time.

Penned by my hand on the 2nd of Valnuary, in the year 249 AF.
