To the Sect of the Black Lotus, and the City of Hashan.

I will keep this brief, I've no taste for clumsy posturing and you know
well my intentions. Mhaldor has no desire to see your City and House
twisted, crushed and warped until it fits Bleak's long-held ideals. As
such, Mhaldor does not consider those Hashani who are unsympathetic to
his manipulations to be enemies, and will not treat them as such.

Conversely, hostilities have been declared against the Black Lotus Sect
and will remain until Bleak is relieved of his office. He has again
overreached in his century-long campaign against the West, and we will
not honour these newest and most ignorant demands.

Theirs Sincerely,
Tyrannus Sabiru, Augur of Abbadon
