To the City and Leaders of Hashan

I am not one to speak in long annoying riddles, nor is my speech pattern straight from a poet's dictionary so I will be blunt. Very blunt.

For your small, but noted, participation in the Reckoning, your ignorance, omission and disregard as to the effects of Malak's efforts, Eleusis pulls all ties from you. No Eleusian shall carry the name of ally and, as you are aware, all Treaties once held have been severed.

While Eleusis is not declaring War, be very clear that the next time you make a stand with our enemies when Nature is concerned, no matter how small that effort may be, you will be declaring War and the declaration will be met full on without discussion and without mercy. If that happens, Eleusis will not listen to pleas of a Treaty from Hashan to end aggressions this time around.

The Northern Ithmia is your home. Whether you follow the path of Nature or not, to allow harm to come to that which shields you is downright shameful.

Further, for imitating the Will and Desires of Lady Artemis and attempting to enter the head of Her followers, your Patron's shrines shall fall. For now they will be those positioned outside of your City. They will continue to fall until Eleusis is satisfied. Participation by any non-Order member to protect the outer shrines will bring us into Hashan, again, to demolish any and all shrines to Him within its walls.

I will not be responding to any of the postings that will likely follow to state this, that or the other. If you wish to speak to me, you know where I will be.

In service to Nature and Eleusis
