Unlike the Tyrannus, I will not offer congratulations to the newest Dawnlady but instead express the collective sentiment of Sapience with a resounding "Meh."

We of Sapience remain firm in our beliefs that the new leadership will follow valiantly in the uncomfortably small boots of Silas in offering flowery declarations of fire, brimstone, and hell-fire by declaring war on shrines and Hashan. However, lest pessimism become the norm, we maintain the hope that perhaps the new Dawnlady will have the courage to do otherwise. Unfortunately, given the nature of tyrannies, we suspect that the Bloodsworn Gods will not allow this for this requires initiative, free-thinking, and of course, courage.

Oh well, at least for the brief span of minutes, we were hopeful that Targossas might live up to its supposed founding ideals but then we remembered its citizens and how such a glorious dream will be for not. You can take the citizens out of Shallam but to our great disappointment, you cannot take the Shallam out of the citizens.


Forever doing what I please,

Hirst da'Miras
