Eleusis,

Your village has grown weak as your rejection of civilisation and Progress has led you down a path of stagnation and regression. So weak have you become that the Tsol'teth didn't even consider your village worth assaulting.

You cannot even defend your village against a small incursion of Hashani without the assistance of civilised people; live proof of the weakness inherent in your way of life and those who embrace it.

Yet your leaders have invited the Court of Shadows to wage war against you. So war it shall be. We shall cut down your trees and burn them and tear down the huts you huddle in. You reject civilisation? Let none of it remain in your "village" once we are done with you.

Your army is already in shambles, only a small fragment of your villagers brave enough to join, but what little remains of it shall be turned into dirt to feed the plants you hold so dear. The fate shared by all those who refuse to Progress, and thus render themselves obsolete.

Some few of you may hold a spark that will eventually allow you to grow and progress beyond what is looked upon favourably in your backward village. Those of you are welcome to join us within the Court of Shadows and find like-minded individuals inside her walls to share life's trials with, and together march boldly into the future.

Eleusians, should you grow weary of wartime's trials, take it up with your village leaders. They can end this quickly, and your village can go back to obscurity and whatever peace there may be had in this world.


For the Court of Shadows,
Seneschal Krizal Nyxillum
