Friends and Companions,

If you witnessed a misdeed by one of your peers, would you stand idly
by? Would you 'drop the issue' and hope it fixes itself? I should
certainly hope not! Our virtues demand action. It is action that the
Jewel is lacking. Look around you, citizens; the stench of Evil and
Oblivion taints the land. Our holy fire has been smote to a flicker. The
Light dwindles in Sapience, our hearts and minds her last bastion. It is
our charge to cleanse Sapience! Alas, we squander about in poor
leadership and, worst of all, are content with it!

Adherence to the principles of Goodness and Righteousness does not mean
that you must be soft and sweet. There is Fire in the Light, in you and

me. Fire is a cleansing force, a renewing force. With it we burn Evil
and Chaos from the land. With it, we must burn away mediocrity and
apathy from our ranks. I oppose the appointment of Jovaras, because he
is not the best choice. There are others who have proven themselves
through time, and through their actions and words, who are more
qualified.

With regard to Lord Pentharian, I shall apologize when I feel He is
guiding Shallam to success in her ventures. Alas, the appointment of
Jovaras and the continuation of this defunct political situation is
unacceptable. If He were to facilitate beneficial changes, I would be
far more supportive. This means returning the responsibility of managing
Shallam to the citizens inhabiting it, and resuming a role of support
and guidance to the leadership of Shallam. Or, if that is asking too
much, then at least appointing a Caliph more qualified.

Freely and Truly,
