It is no secret that an overwhelming number of Non-Sentinels have joined
the conflict against the Infernals. In fact, the response has escalated
to the point where the majority of consistently opposing Combatants
aren't even part of the Guild with which we have been at war. This is no
longer an Infernal vs. Sentinel conflict, and I do not wish to start a
sapience-wide war by involving Non-Infernals to join our cause. Due to
this obtrusive interference, I have sent orders to all Infernal Knights
to stand down and cease all attacks against the Sentinels. Forty-One
Sentinel lives had been lost at the time in which I made my last public
address. This number has not increased since that post, and will serve
in place of our original demand towards Xon, that he accept one death as
punishment for his crimes.

As Commander of Infernal Knights and Master of the Iron Citadel, I
hereby declare to the Leader of the Pride our formal and permanent
withdraw from the field of battle, and from all conflict involved in
this war.

In Honor, Strength, and Darkness
Lord Josephus, Master of the Iron Citadel
