I would like to point out that there is already a peacefully inclined
organization, called The Republic of Sapience, that has been created for
diplomatic purposes of negotiating peace with those of your race, or
given no other resort, the defense of sapience from the Vertani. Don't
interpret us as an aggressive group, we are merely preparing, should
your actions continue in the direction they have been. Yes, members of
our organization have taken part on 'raids' of your kind, and killed
many--But this is no different from your 'slap on the wrist', and I hope
you don't hold it against the entire republic. The Majority of us have
done you no wrong, and shall do no wrong unto you... merely justice,
should the need arise. We could of course, be used as an effective port
for the questions of sapience to be presented to you (however I don't
believe that will be too incredibly effective.)

Anyways, I am pointing out the existence of this organization to bring
it both to your attention (though I'm sure it already has been) and to
the attention of sapience. We have been addressed as though we are not a
"respectable" organization, but having gained over 130 members in the
four months since your 'slap on the wrist', and still growing I would
consider us not only a respectable organization, but a formidable ally,
should you gain our trust.

If you wish to contact the Republic of Sapience, dear Hingar, then
please speak to somebody on the Council of the Republic (The Republic's
governing body). (In case you are not yet familiar with this aspect of
Sapient life, try CLANHELP REPUBLIC and you should be able to see a list
of Council Members towards the bottom.)

Respectfully, and snuggly,
Griffinus Fireheart.

Disclaimer-- I do not claim to speak for the feelings of Justice
accurately, nor do I feel the destruction of Thera was in fact, a "slap
on the wrist", I merely used such terms for effect. *snuggles*
