I'll make this short and simple, so that all can understand. Fendo, you
are a fool. Keep in mind, I speak only for the Cult of Babel. Though our
strength forced you to hide in your temple, when the entire strength of
Ashtan comes down upon you, you'll be too busy cowering to make posts.
As any cowards might do, instead of storming the gates of the Bastion,
Industry has displayed their true colours by defiling shrines to Lord
Babel while the hands that wield His Spear were otherwise occupied.
Despite this, despite your sound defeat at the hands of the Spear, the
Cult of Babel was merciful.

I offered Industry the opportunity for atonement. I asked only that you
admit your mistakes, refrain from defiling and accept the Void as
inevitable. Had you agreed, you could have went about whatever minor
business you find so important until ever-creeping Chaos arrived to show
you the error of your ways.

Instead, you called upon Shallam for aide, a week and sniveling ally
indeed. Why Shallam agreed to aide you is simple to discern. They are
weak. They fall to the feet of any who claim they can delay the coming
of the Void. Despite the fact that Ashtan's Overseer revealed that Lord
Phaestus played a an active role in Mhaldor's theft, and that Industry
knowingly facilitated the goals of Evil, the Jewel rallied to your side
in hopes that you would protect them.

Let it be known, there is no protection. All things fall into Oblivion.
It is not to be feared, but embraced. As all things sprang from Primal
Chaos, all things will return. Evil, Good, Industry, are all but
different names for the illusion that is order and creation. We offer
you enlightenment. Whether you accept it or not is of little consequence
to us. It comes. However, you have decided to take it upon yourselves to
anger us. Now you will continue to die like dogs. What Industry endures
will be a mercy compared to what Shallam will face.
