Dear Hiroma,

I am saddened to find that my good will was wasted in the face of your genetic animosity, but keep trying, you are only showing the rest of Sapience the narrowness of your spirit.

To answer briefly, your main concern:

Yes, we will need to band together and unite in the face of impending doom. We will need your best warriors, and your best scholars, as much as we will need every arm and heart to fight back the encroaching Void. When reason dawns on you all, when at last you realize the folly of your ways and repent of the actions that brought this world so close to Oblivion, we will welcome you and your kind amongst our ranks. We do not seek to destroy Mhaldor, Ashtan or Hashan, but so long as they side against Creation, we will need to fight them if only to buy time. We are not Shallam, our enmity is not that of a city, jealous of it power, but that of a glorious mission. I would rather have you come to your senses, and have you next to me, than slit your throat in a battle. Remember: No mortal soul is ever beyond redemption, no one is out of reach from the gripping hand of Truth and of the purifying caress of the Flame.

Also, there is nowhere in the Apostle's writings that indicate that we despise writing, or even reading. Simply that the main focus is elsewhere. We do not have to "make up our minds" in relation to Shallam, because while we may hail from the Fallen Jewel, we are no longer the same men and women who weakened it through pointless strife. I also find it ridiculous that you make light of the many men and women who fought bravely and died in the sinking city to buy your Bastion time, and that without the intervention of Han-Tolneth, your own city would lay in rubbles. After you show how much contempt you have for mortal life, I am surprised that people still take what you say about innocent lives at face value.

Forever Their witness,
Siduri Azagnanna
