Archai Jems,

You say your city values strength and the advancement of all sentient life, yet your influence extends barely to the foreshores of your insignificant isle. The Antoninan Scar - the one and only lasting achievement of your ephemeral empire - now basks in the light of the Dawn. Mhaldor projects power an arm's length beyond its gates, while Targossas' reach spans the breadth of the continent.

Focus your efforts on starting fights with small villages, offering bounties on peasants, cooking mhun steaks and whatever other trivialities comprise life in the West, but don't presume to lecture the world on an ideal you have utterly failed to represent. Mhaldor's only value of late is as a cautionary tale.
