Speaker,

I must confess my surprise when a kestrel brought to me a letter stating a surrender and a withdrawal of your forces from the fields of battle. Your choice of cowardice - to submit a declaration of neutrality by mail - is one I would only ascribe to you. By doing so, you have presented your leadership council in the City of Eleusis as dull and simple-minded grunts incapable of tactful deduction and decisive planning.

No doubt the custodians of Nature are required to ensure that intelligence is uncommon within the village.

The struggles of your Ithmian settlement as she sought not to be swept away by the tide of blood were amusing and for that, the City of Mhaldor thanks you for your contributions.

Therefore, as it began, so it will close with a reminder that there is a reason why the City of Eleusis will stay, after all these years, an unevolved tribe of pagans under the charge of a weak and ineffective leader.

His Eternally,
Tyrannus Ruth I'llur
