Hail, Sapience.

When Mhaldor's ancient war against Oakstone, Eleusis, and other forestal
factions breathed to life again four-hundred and ninety years following
the fall of Seleucar, the Order of the Hunt was deemed a harmless entity
and spared the humiliating loss of their shrines and the destruction of
their beloved Pack.

Harmless they remain, but the time has come for the Lupines to be put to
the sword. Their involvement and intrusion in various Mhaldorian
military affairs has not gone unnoticed. From assisting the thralls of
the Church in retaking Nirvana to defending Icons assaulted by Mhaldor,
the Order has clearly established itself in opposition to the will of
the Masters. The Lupine Tekumza's recent insults, directed at the
religious practices of the Daemonic Hand and the Messiah of the Damned,
are an excellent demonstration of the kind of ignorance that runs
rampant in the heathen hordes that oppose Mhaldor, and the kind of
weakness that must henceforth be cleansed from this earth.

Lupines: you pride yourselves on being akin to a pack of wolves, but
your teeth and your claws grew dull ages ago. The Apocrypha says to the
servants of Evil, "Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as wolves
among lambs." You are not the wolves but the lambs, and the hunting
grounds of the world will run red with your blood ere we are through
with you.

On a related note, the continued resistance and grandstanding on
Cyrene's part has not gone unnoticed. You, too, fought us in Nirvana.
You, too, still hold your heads proudly and claim you are nobler,
prouder than the servants of Evil. We have treated you as our playthings
thus far; we will treat you as true foes now, and you shall fall like
wheat at the reaping and burn like the useless chaff you are. Your
individuals will always have a chance to recognize Truth and seek Evil,
but your collective respite has passed.

It is time for Their will to be done.




In service to Them,
Archfiend Des Wolfbane, Lord Marshal of Mhaldor
