People of Sapience, I am no leader, no political figure, no herald nor
eternal warrior. I am a simple cityboy of Ashtan, Ashuran monk, and
betrayed. Not by the Vertani, no. By the mass majority of Sapience who
continues to result in pretty arguments amongst themselves. I for one
hope the mass majority is slain, via their petty differences, their
quickness for blame amongst eachother. You say you will not bring
violence upon the Vertani, fine. But I urge to stop bringing violence
upon eachother, stop doubting your brothers from Ashtan, Shallam.
Ashtan, the same for you. Alas, this leads to my point.
Lets look at the facts, just simple, simple facts. First, they have not
been as forthgoing with information since the start. Secondly, We were
the ones who started the aggression, in which I understand their initial
reactions. As a world or culture that does not war upon itself, why such
a great militarial force? To be fair to Sapience, why are we wasting our
militarial force killing ourselves? How on earth are we to be expected
to defend ourselves from a single deer at this point, let lone a entire
civilization. Shallam, you wish to stay non-violent, fine. But would it
hurt to extend friendship to your brother cities? To forge an ALLIANCE
for the future? As we all have differences, we must also realize that
the person who sits back and judges people, is as worse as the people
he's judging. We all have weaknesses, and negative points, but we must
learn to forgive those, to accept those. As for the neutral cities, I am
not here to demand you slaughter, but even neutral cities could be of
help to us, start realizing the facts, and start openly accepting the
world. Start defending yourself, start defending your brethren.

Third, but not least, this is to Hingar, and the Vertani. As this simple
cityboy vows, he will actively wipe your kind from this world. I will
not stop until you are gone, forever. You have lied, you have killed
innocents. You do not belong here, nor are fit to "civilize" us. GO
HOME! Or I swear upon Sarapis I will drive you there, drive you back to
each one of your houses, drive you into submission. I will lay this
world with the remains of your bodies. If war is what you seek, you seek
destruction of your kind. Perhaps in your conquest you have forgotten to
read our history, the history of Sapience. We defeated the Tsol'Teth,
one of the greatest worldly conquerers. We will defeat you, and defeat
you again, and again, wherever you may strike.
Remember, Sapience, stay non-violent if you must, but don't blame others
for everything, not take blame on yourself, and most importantly,
forgive, forget, accept, and make a future. We must not call ourselves
Ashtanites, or Eleusians, Cyrenians, Shallamites, Mhaldorians,
Hashanites. We must call ourself Achaeans. We must unite, not for only
the survival from Vertani, but for the survival from ourselves.
