To Shallam and its Church,

I have to say that I am quite impressed. I never thought I would see the
day when you all would so blatantly cast aside your values for your own
vengeance and satisfaction. Now, however, it is commonplace. Knights
abandon their Honour Code. Priests forget their tenets. All of your
warriors seem to be finding your previous standards too restricting.
Better late than never, I suppose.

I am writing this post because I would very much like to congratulate
you. In the recent months, I have seen Paladin Knights forming mobs and
assaulting the unprepared like common thugs. I have seen Priests call
the unaware into confessionals, only to bash them in the head with maces
while their allies hold them down. Even those who supposedly stand for
Honour the most have drifted away from these beliefs. The Elysians stand
today as dishonourable cowards. The best of them have realized their own
foolishness and become traitors. Those who remain cower away from
battle, or throw aside their Honour and join the rest of their friends
in the bloody, lawless wars that they wage.

It is wonderful to see you all embracing the Freedom to do as you
please, without any silly codes or rules to bind you. First goes your
Honour and next, perhaps, some of your other worthless standards. We'll
just take things one step at a time. Soon enough, you'll be just like
the rest of us!

But until then, let the battles rage on. Let the blood continue to flow
through the streets. Let us be bound by no rules as our weapons clash in
a chaotic bloodbath. It is delightful!

We might as well enjoy existence while it lasts.
