Riahn,

Upon checking with the service records for Thurisaz, I see that you were correct. You were never a Page of Thurisaz, only an Armsman. I've no issue admitting when I'm wrong or mistaken, and so you've my apologies for the assertion and confusion.

However, I did not refuse you when you sought to become one. Instead I offered you a choice, and a request, the letter of which I rediscovered while sifting through my desk for records.

I asked you to reflect on your recent many addresses to the people of Cyrene, to take a step back and look at how your words have landed. To ponder if they had built walls instead of bridges.

You refused to consider it, and would not be convinced otherwise. You made your choice.

Believe your intentions noble. No one will convince you otherwise. As you alluded, sometimes people refuse to hear what they find uncomfortable. The truth is often just that.

Wherever this course takes you. Best of luck to you.
