Eleusis,

Your resistance on the battlefield thus far is futile at best. You call upon the reserves of other cities even when your own already outnumber us. We are still in the early stages of this war, and yet you have already demonstrated time and time again that you are not up to the fight.

A fair warning to any foreign soldiers who decide to intervene: You will pay the blood price once for each Hashani soldier you interfere with. That is, if you interrupt six Hashani soldiers laying siege to the village, then you will pay up to six deaths. This war does not concern most of you, and if you attempt to make it about you then you will soon find the soldiers of the Legion a bigger concern.

Perhaps I should remind the Coalition that Eleusis desires to regress Sapience to the domain of Nature. If I am not mistaken, this would pose a great threat to many of the visions the city-states of Sapience possess. For Hashan, this is in direct opposition to our vision of Progress, and allowing the realm to flourish unhindered by oppression. Ashtan, if you support their cause with such ferocity, perhaps it is you who should volunteer to return your city to the wilds first.

The might of Hashan will rain down upon them in a storm of such fury the likes of Nature have never seen before, and none will stand in our way.
