To clarify events, as I feel they need clarification, I'll say
this once. Write it down, study it, and remember it. The Ashura, as
a house has never aided Shallam in any way. Our attacks on the
citizens of Mhaldor were in direct response to the murder of a
housemate by the dragon Eos and were limited only to those involved
with this act against us, and those who assisted in it. If you were
raiding or defiling at the time, and our response to your attacks
happened to rain on your parade, let me offer you our sincerest
indifference.
Your threats against our House have been duly noted, and your
demands that we apologize publically are herby rebuffed. The Ashura
bow to no one.

Good Day,

Sensei Reyn Xavier of the Ashura
