You two are the type of Shallamese that I truly despise. You hide and
say you'll wait and talk to them. The time to talk has ended, what do
you think the summit was for. It was to be as Hingar declared, a
non-aggresion meeting. Yet they walk in and attack every Ashtani and
Mhaldorian in an instant then throw a temper tantrum that their overlord
died as a result. This temper tantrum caused deaths to innocents that
decided they would be the first to stand by Ashtan and Mhaldor. A small
village was willing to join us. You however sit on your thumbs hoping
you'll get answers where none are to be found. They wouldn't answer
before and they won't answer now, and if they do they'll be golden words
to appease your ears.

I will not deny that I have slain innocents, but only because I know
that Sarapis restores their life, as well as mine. I have died many
times and am always relieved to know that Lord Sarapis is still willing
to let me continue. Everyone has visited the Halls of Sarapis, many
times and yet everyone finds their return to Achaea, Do you ever think
to be grateful that you're back, did you ever think that maybe this time
Lord Sarapis won't restore you? I bleed for my Lady, the Occultists, and
my city, Ashtan. And now I will bleed to bring vengeance upon the
Vertani for their actions.

For Thera, and for Sapience,
Nijias Oloren
