This has gone too far. Ever since I joined the city of Hashan, I have seen my city persecuted, oppressed and threatened. First it was Gaia, organizing the Druids against us. The recent changes, whereby now the land occupied by a city's military is harmed, have caused the Druids to be even more protectful of their land. Hashan is right in the middle of the forest. We NEED to expand into it. There is no way around it. The Northern Ithmia has been captured by us, and as Minister of War for Hashan, I can tell you that it will continue to be under our flag.

And so, Isildur, we cannot just liberate all these lands. Hashan is a small city, fighting to make ends meet. We graciously backed away from the Western Ithmia, but will not do so for the land surrounding our city. I am sorry it has come to this. On this account, Hashan will not back down. We have members of our city, such as Rhenn and Felwryn, that understand what situation our city is in. I only hope that the Druids too can see the light.

As for Twilight's influence on our city, let me speak. I do not follow Twilight. I know very little of his Order. Twilight has done a lot of work for our city, and I appreciate that. But not everyone here worships him, or follows him, or has anything to do with him. Hashan is a city of the free, and again, people like Felwryn see this.
