Old friend,
Mockery, bloodlust, derision, deceit, and disrespect are the foundation of the puppet state now masquerading as Cyrene indeed. Elements that were always present and recurrently tried to erode at the foundation of the city were finally locked in place through powers and a Will that could no longer be checked by the efforts of society, civilization, the rule of law, and the striving of gentle and honorable folk.
Cyrene has not risen. It has sunk, by any metric.
To the outspoken mouthpieces of the unfortunate present,
I will not save my indignation! I have never given up my home in over two centuries of loyal service, but was cast out with unjust impunity for being one of those inconvenient mirrors to the obscene march of what you are attempting to paint as progress.
You do not get to dictate nor discount history. You owe where you are to it, and it will ultimately be your judge through the eyes of others who see you - truly see you, though you would rather put on a mask now. Then again, perhaps you take for an example the airs of benevolence your Master puts on right before killing another Cyrenian.
Let us not mince words, the Heart of the Vashnars has long been the object of power hungry cliques and individuals of various standing, that serve nothing but their own narcissism and desire for what they perceive as accomplishment, at any cost to everyone and everything else. This time, with better backing, they have succeeded.
You people love to bandy the word "apathy" around as if it somehow justifies your actions, but the truth of the matter is that is just code for your own ambition, and everyone else can "suck it". You wanted to rise, and you think you have, but you did not better yourselves, you did not better that and them around you. You took the easy way, and you sold off the city, its people, and yourselves.
Cyrene belongs to Cyrenians? How droll. I am a Cyrenian. Does the city-state now have the power to remove my permanent enmity? What is my crime?
A rhetorical, of course. My enmity was Mandated, one of many injustices.
Cyrene belongs to the sea. A sea of shame.
