Greetings,

I find myself awed, I must confess, with your continued bumbling idiocy.
Honestly, until you came long I had never seen one group of people act
so consistently foolish for so long.

You claim to have been tricked - fooled! - but how long can you continue
to blame your own failings on others? Even in Arcadia, when Brasidos fed
his apparent lies to Queen Clytemnestra and the gathered audience, how
many people warned that it might be a trap?

Even disregarding the blatant foolishness of you rushing across the seas
to oppose oppression and tyranny in a kingdom you've never before seen,
when so many of you do nothing more than, at best, turn a blind eye to
the atrocities committed in the west, there must come a time, for you
especially Eurulis, when you accept that your mistakes are your own. I
hope that when the Lothians realise like the rest of us that your
frequent apologies are far too late and too foolish, Vastar won't decide
to shield you and bail you out again, and will instead allow you to
finally learn that valuable lesson.

Until that time - until you have learned - I think it's fair for us all
to expect only more of the same from you hapless representatives of
Freedom.

To those denizens of Lothos against whom Vastar's foolish barbarians
transgressed, I would advise you to seek answers elsewhere if you seek
them at all. I'm well-versed now, unfortunately, in Eurulis's methods of
solving the problems created by the Order he's alleged to lead, and I
find them comparable to nothing so much as Tiax's combat strategy.

In time, perhaps Eurulis will learn, or perhaps Vastar will see sense.
Until then, I would advise you all to enter into any discussions or
negotiations with the Order with your expectations appropriately
lowered, along with your hopes for resolution to the problems they've
started.
