It's time for a clear reminder to Sapience.

The village of Jaru along with our other protectorates are extended territories of the Beacon. You can see that for yourself by the gold and azure banners in those villages when you do a quick SURVEY.

Enorian has been, and Enorian will be, sending patrols and deploying troops in her protectorates, as she deems fit. In our eyes, that's an act of internal affair. Aligned to this line of thinking, the sovereignty in the city-aligned Villages, has been something the Beacon demonstrated utmost respect on. With most recent examples of Bloodloch's military advances on El'Jazira and Kornar, in which Enorian had zero formal intervention.

However, earlier this week, two divisions of knights that we've stationed in Jaru were lost to forces of Bloodloch that was at least six times their number.

Evidently in Mazzion's post, this offense is justified by the slander that our troops were deployed at Bloodloch's border.
As everyone that has a simple map at hand knows, the Village of Jaru shares no border with Bloodloch. There lies at least the entirety of the Shamtota Hills between the Village and their city to counter this convenient excuse.

However, Bloodloch's troops did not just stop with violating our rightful borders and murdering our dutiful soldiers. These battalions carried on and even more audiciously, laid siege to the Beacon's Gates for roughly two days, as I pen this.

Our attempts at diplomacy and mediation of this transgression met with silence. Then came to a final halt, the moment they murdered a Herald instead of offering reparations or answering for their violations.

Yet another excuse to validate violence.

So be it.

What Bloodloch has done as a whole is unacceptable and by the nature of it, the city demands the harshest answer from the Beacon of Light.

No one should be surprised, when that happens.
