Renegade Cringleader,

Your claims have reached my ears and I frankly laughed my ass off at the sheer amount of mental acrobatics needed to get from the truth to wherever you are.

You were never kicked out of the CIJ; you had the good sense to vacate the House immediately before it came to light what had been going on under your leadership. The only person who was forcibly removed was Rhydian because, being the good daughter you are, you left her there with her fingers still in the proverbial cookie jar of the House shop (from which the CIJ never saw a single sovereign of profit).

The Maliceux had a good thing going, but sadly it was only good for you and not for the CIJ. You defrauded the House out of funds to bankroll personal ventures and tried to tamper with elections via self-enriching credit sales with egregiously low prices (2500 gold per unbound credit). I bet the world would have liked to get in on that action while it lasted like your friends did.

It's wild to me that you can, with a straight greyface, tell people you were wronged and the House was stolen from you. The House was never yours to be stolen. Someone contested you which was within their rights as a member to do. YOU however, stole from the House - and that's only the least of it.

I haven't even discussed the appalling amount of romantic entanglements you all had with your underlings, or the nepotism and abuse of leadership powers to either advance those who played your game, or the ways in which you retaliated against those who rejected your advances or criticized your behavior. But I am now.

Here's just one example of the inappopropriate conduct permitted throughout your tenure: It was revealed during one of our infamous bard crawls that some of our erstwhile House officials, promoted and retained by you, were taking House novices onto ships and dressing them up in cow-themed lingerie and having them "moo" on all fours. It was far from an isolated incident.

You were not good leaders nor did you actually care about the House. You only cared about what made YOU happy, and how the House could be used to YOUR benefit. That's the problem in a nutshell. At some point, you somehow got it in your heads that you ARE the CIJ, which is evidenced by your current title and inability to move on. You are not.

You are parasites that miraculously self-extracted from the CIJ and were barred re-entry. You are not the victims nor martyrs that you claim to be. There was not some elaborate consipiracy or plot against you. You are merely reaping the consequences of centuries of selfish actions because you finally got caught.

Bonko always comes up as an example of how not to be a House leader, but frankly given all the abuse of power you've displayed, you are no better than him. In fact, you've set a new, and even lower standard, and that'll be your only legacy.

So to address everyone at once and clarify, so there is no misconception as to why you are enemied, these are some of the many reasons you should have been replaced long ago, and the combined effect of everything is why you are not allowed back in.

The House comes first, and it should always come first. Silvestri's legacy is not yours to trample any longer.

Sincerely,

Sevyn Si'Talvace-Winterbourne
