Hail my fellow mortals, and our dear Immortals as well.

I write today to speak of something that has been growing inside me for
time unknown. Many would look at the citizens in Mhaldor and believe we
strive for nothing but fear, pain and suffering. This portrait is easy
to understand and indeed justify if the amalgam of acts perpetrated by
our citizenry is viewed as a whole unto itself, with no influencing
factors. Yes, I can look at the city and see how we can be
misinterpreted. It does not help at all, I know, that there are some in
Mhaldor who indeed DO act for nothing but the zealous joy afforded to
these sick, sociopathic people found in inflicting pain and suffering on
others. Let me tell you, this is not the will of Evil and our Lord
Sartan.

You may be surprised, but Evil does not strive for the destruction of
humanity, nor does it seek to overcome us with despair and sink our
lives into some abyss. Evil is the method by which we are empowered to
seek the zenith of our potential as a whole. Evil outlines ways in which
we can efficiently form a structure in society that gives the powers of
command, decision and change to those who would most effectively wield
them. The strong are vaulted over the weak, banishing those who would
make bad decisions to the places where their harmful influence cannot be
felt.

The methods seem harsh to some, I understand. Overly harsh, perhaps, but
that is because they do not understand how the means justify the ends.
In our current system, there is no feasible way to harness the weak
fools and allow the strong to rise without bloodshed and fear. Only if
the weak are terrified to creep from their hovels and entrance others
with the honey of their sweet foolish lies are they kept from sullying
society at large. The overall effects of instilling abject terror are
questionable at best, and in the end may not even be worth the effort.
Indeed, many are allowed to slip through the cracks as a result of the
sheer lack of manpower in the dominant class of the Strong.

With this in mind, I have spent years postulating new ways to bring the
unquestionable advantages that Evil promises us in a more effective
manner. Finally, I have come up with this: a new Order of mortals. This
is not necessarily an exclusive Order, as it includes those from all
walks of life. Despite what some may think, I can see flashes of
Strength in our sister cities to the south, north and east. It is
filtering this Strength, and allowing it to flourish and rule, that is
the main objective of this new Order.

I call this the Order of Unity. Under it, all in Sapience will be
united. No more need for petty cities and governments that only bring
about faction and strife that harm the objectives of the whole. Under
one banner, the banner of Evil, the people of Sapience will live. A
society where the decisions are necessarily the best mortals can make,
as only the best participants make them. In this society, the weak will
have no say. I am sure that may sound injurious to some people,
especially those who have been locked away in the brainwashing city
limits of Shallam for many a year, but it is truly the only way to run a
society at its maximum potential. Of course, the choosing of the Strong
and the Weak is another matter, but I believe the tenets of Evil outline
quite specifically who should be in power, and who should not. In this
society, there would be no need for bloodshed, as the weak are
constantly kept out of the public spotlight by laws and prisons. Indeed,
this society is the only one that would promise Peace.

I know many of you feel Mhaldor is a city of war and blood, but this is
only because of the situation we are currently in. If you would all just
join me in a grand unification of all mortals, we could live in a world
of peace, strength and wisdom.
