Ah. What exactly is the Court of Shadow's claim to fame? Let us see.

You all bested everyone and claimed the Staff of Nicator... oh wait. That wasn't you. That was Mhaldor.

You proved your militant might in a war against another militant city in the last fifty years... oh wait. That wasn't you either. That was Mhaldor.

You claimed a section of the Cyrene as your own with your own sovereignty. Oh wait. That was Lady Pandora. Who you poorly try to emulate in the Muurn. Honestly, how much time do you have on your hands while everyone else tends to their own business against each other?

Tell us. What is it you have done to really impact the World lately? Besides lay into Cyrene which is not a militant city. You cannot declare all that agency, and all that standing on your feet when you aren't exactly pushing against the most brutal city currently on Sapience.

If you best Mhaldor then maybe, just maybe you might earn some praise. Some awe. A grain of anything besides a raised brow at your efforts to what? Kick sand at the smallest kid on the playground, and declare yourselves rulers of the sandbox?

You aligned yourselves with the Tsol'teth, but what are you really without them?

Spare us. Please. No one is impressed. And that will not change as long as being a migraine to Cyrene is the height of your prowess.

Ever faithful,
Jinos Inficio-Tiercel.
