Greetings,

The challenge my neighbor the Blacksmith set forth will go unanswered for there is not a single Theran among us that will submit to Ashtan. They have attempted to strong arm us and failed.

They have attempted to poison our minds and failed.

We are peering through the veils they try to blind us with using the sugar-coated words of diplomacy they offer. It too is failing.

I stand with my people on this matter. We will not submit to such despotism.

The solution to solving this matter is quite simple.


Copernicus,
the patient one
