A Shameful Display

To the lords and ladies of Calradia,

War is no child's game. It eats at the conscience. Sacrifices must be made, and they are not always made for the greater good. Sometimes these decisions bear great consequence, and such is the case today.

Upon our siege of New Ayn Assuadi, 418 troops sought to take gold and equipment from this village. Unable to pass our siege camps unchallenged, they decided to flee into the desert but were pursued to answer for their crimes. Now they pretend to be simple folk, harmless in nature, but we will not be deceived for amongst these men is PhantomZero, the leader of LLJK, The Great Boar. Would such a man deny his lordship and pretend to be a peasant to save his life? Shameful. Mercy is not deserving of those without honor.

This man and those who follow him must be executed. No lord or lady in Calradia can allow this man to call himself an equal without dishonoring each of us. Join me. Raise your sword against pretenders and bastards with no claim nor right to rule.

One wiser than me once said, "The great are created in the forges of injustice."

Do you take no responsibility for driving the Great Boar to rage and madness, slaughtering your soldiers at every opportunity and fleeing down the path to survival when the tides turn? Do you disclaim your part in driving him into hiding, in oppressing a mind which yearns to be free, and in that unrelenting quest for freedom, finding solace only in the gutters of treachery, the last haven safe from your control?

When one must choose a side, must one necessarily hunt down and destroy the monster proper, or may he perchance turn about and face the monster's very creator, so delivering justice to those wanting? Answer for your crimes, Empress! For it is not merely PhantomZero you oppress with every word, every breath, every moment of your being; but the very root of thought! of humanity! of the natural capacity of the human mind for empathy, sorrow, grief, joy, and rage!

With this appeal of shallow platitudes, you may sway some of the weak-minded, some of the unaware, some of the sheep who find safety in the darkness of your harsh rule, but for as long as I stand, the battle cry of truth, liberty, and justice shall ring in your ears: "Defend the [s]tairs!"

Also, you misspelled "Shamefur".
