Figurehead,

You must be as addled as Aegoth if you believe your threats hold any weight. So far, Mhaldor is certainly winning this marathon demonstration of risk aversion and cowardice, yet even your Lord objected to placing such 'terms' in a war that went very similarly: the last war. Why should this war be taken any more seriously?

Your warriors plea for 'help, help' every time we assault your city. You seek to strike when there are few soldiers present to defend, repeatedly. All have seen the Dawnspear's Vanguard strike against long odds, yet still falling to the guards your army quivers behind. You are so terrified of risk you will not even accept the Dawnlord's offer to extend the war. Your proficiency in fear is commendable... but it is not victory.

There is a reason your greatest warriors are converts. Your 'Truths' amount to nothing beyond a sadist's delight. The emotionally disturbed teenager you hired to write your terms for you has failed to conjure anything of value; it is yet another demonstration of your single-minded obsession with torture. Have your 'Truths' failed you to such a degree that you can think of nothing else?

Reject the Dawnlord's offer to extend the war. Your army has not the strength to continue, and the world has not the stomach to watch it try.

Accept, and watch the victory you've humiliated yourselves for vanish.

Is this what 'victory' looks like to you, Tyrannus? I suppose none can blame you. You've never seen it before.


In Truth,
