People of Sapience,

It is not particularly in my nature to defend the Syssin, nor is it in my nature to call for unity with those of Shadow, but I find myself needing to do it now.

These squabbles, public and private, through word and sword and blood alike- they do not help right now. Believe me, were it so easy to simply close it and be done with our enemies, it would certainly be easier.

We do not have such a luxury. We don't have time for petty squabbles and groundless accusations. We don't have time for fools who think they and they alone are the solution to a problem that spells the end for us all, for what we love, for what we claim as ours. And we certainly do not have time for people attempting to further their own goals now, of all times.

Sapience, the only merit in Nipsy's rambling is to keep an eye on each other. On your friends, on your enemies. Look for changes in them, and not changes that may come from the stress of a world ending war. Things that are of the Shadow Mother.

This will not come down to only one guild, only one God, only one person. It will take everyone. It will take getting over your pride and admitting when you need aid. It will take forgetting the battles we fight each other over until this is done. We can draw each other's blood when the plane is safe.

I will not insult any of us by asking us to trust each other on an organizational level. We will likely be watching each other for slip ups, for actions that seem against the needs of the plane itself. But what I will say is this:

Make sure your watching is for the good of the world, not for some attempt to get back at people you hate, or at some twisted desire to seize power from this wretched thing and most importantly, do not be afraid to know when to step back.

We will fight. We will win. There is no alternative. Oblivion is not an option. It is the talk of people who have given up, the talk of cowards. Stand tall and strong, Sapience and, for now, know that I will fight alongside any one of you.

In Service,

Knight-Sergeant Rasani Morrog
