Xinna,

I won't attempt to indulge the endless cycle of rinse-and-repeat insults/debates regarding the battle of Good and Evil. I could easily just point you to, more than likely, 10,000 of the previous 20,000 posts that, I assume, will make all our points for us. I will, however, address the radical idea that the formation of two Houses has led to some fundamental shift in the perpetual mediocrity of your impact on our will and/or devotion to our cause.

Do you realistically believe, with the looming threat of Darkness, the ever-present threat of Chaos, and the often times overwhelming forces of the Bastion of the North, that we tremble in fear at the thought of the Western puddle dribbling across our gates? I fear that if the destruction of the Bloodsworn's shrines (resulting in a net loss of three shrines as of the time of this post) is your opening number then we must all hold our breath in silence to ensure we can hear your resounding grand finale.

Our battle is eternal and will not be hindered due to a focused push by any faction. We have seen our city and beliefs besieged on all sides, our forces smothered by one banner or another, and our voices drowned out by the resounding shouts of indifference towards the well-being of Creation. Here we remain, however, our resolve and devotion to the Bloodsworn having only grown. The paths of Light and Righteousness are certainly not easy, and I'm sure you and yours will do your best to ensure that trend continues, but do not operate under the illusion that you can rob of us our desire and willingness to fight and die to prevent your, or any other, attempts at perverting the populace of Creation.

In service to the Bloodsworn,
