Chair,

Consider my offer to submit myself before execution as null and void. I do not allow myself to be judged by tyrants. You and your Senators will have nothing from me for so long as you outlaw the Instinct of the living to see the Cycle kept right.

To the citizens of the North, I beg you only to break these chains. Replace these lackwits you call leaders and help the continent keep the Cycle right. Show these thieves and traitors of Bloodloch what the price is when they tamper with things that they do not own. Resist them and aid us with your spears, instead of sitting in your dark corners lamenting your inability to do anything.

The only blockade is your fear of consequence, but there is no law greater than the one within your own heart! There is no treason greater than defiance of the Cycle, no law greater than that of Life and Death! Stand up for what you believe in. Show this world the northern defiance that you so often brag about.

Resist these accomplices to thievery, these craven cowards that would dictate what you may or may not do.

If you do not, the breath will be stolen from your lungs ere long.

If you refuse to heed the thrum of your heart, you will soon never hear it again.

For the Cycle,
Paragon Iesid M.
