Lies of Chaos?

Lord Sartan,
It has come to my attention that You wish to do one of two things, in
addition to Your current skulldeuggery with my Lady's only son. You seem
to either wish to spread lies about Your enemies, so that purhaps You
and Your followers will not have to bare the brunt of the massive force
of enemies you've accumulated, or instead, You now claim to hold the
true knowledge of what Chaos is.
I do certainly hope that You are merely spreading lies. Spreading
untruth amongst the populace is long known among Your followers, and it
would not be unexpected for them to follow in Your great example.
However, Chaos does not seek to destroy creation. By assuming such, in
saying that You know this, you risk furthering the anger of Lady Chaos
and Her followers, although it is quite beyond me that She may be able
to grow angrier than She may be now. Please do choose which domain You
hold sway over.
On another note, Maliscious one, I must point out that I do not
understand why it is that Your followers do not just concede defeat and
give up? Is it not true that since they are followers of You and of
Evil, that they must respect the strong? Currently, Mhaldor is in its
weakest position yet: Their economy is failing due to massive security
costs, lack of trade, lack of worthwhile business. Their fighters are
failing due to the fact that you lack any semblance of a large force of
anything other than young men and women trying to prove themselves in
fights that nine times of ten prove to be their deaths. Their defenses
rarely exist for more than a year, as the invading forces grow larger
and more frequent, causing the death of guards, knights, naga,
apostates, and the like, all in one fell swoop. Your enemies are
numerous, I notice that even the city that once may have helped You and
Yours in Hashan has turned against You. You are backed into a corner.
The only chance that Your people have to maintain themselves is to give
in to Your Truths... that the weak will be enslaved, and the strong
shall rule. At this time, Mhaldor is the weak, and Sapience is the
strong.
Then again, perhaps this is merely a hardship that Your people must face
in order to strengthen themselves... who am I to know? I personally see
this war, and all battles that I have participated in, and all fights
that have ensued between myself and Your followers to be a method of
furthering my own strength and dedication to my personal causes. However
much I detest myself from saying it, Your followers and myself are not
at all that different. The main difference is that I have reasons for
what I do. I do not make enemies of the world. I do not destroy possible
business, or ruin cities. I do not follow You. I am not the weak.
I look forward to the day when Your followers grow strong. When the
Maldaathi learn honour as knights should have, when I can fear the Naga,
or debate with the Apostates, and duel with Your rogues. Until that day,
I will note Your peoples' weakness, and order their slavery until it is
superceded by what You demand of them, or until there is naught left of
Your rock to the west.
