This thing you claim you value was threatened by your own actions, your own War of Night. Ohlsana would not have spared it. Her Generals would have felled it with their own hands. And you would have had to continue existing without, much like my fine City shall continue without Holbrook.

I was not there when the bomb was deployed, but I wish I had been. I would have reminded my comrades whose fault this all was, and maybe we would have thought to trap the Generals within your Ancient Heartwood instead. The victory we achieved would have been twice as great.

What you have started, we will end. By whatever means necessary.
