Charade's End (Gloomlight Grove vs. Midpoint)

[SwordDao]

.
Controversy was nothing new to the Chairman of Midpoint, fast approaching was a day they had been prepared for from the beginning. After days of careful consideration - or rather, holding his tongue, a response in open letter is given to all those who sought to bring ruin to his land.

.

"From humble tents to a bustling trading hub, with hard work we have grown from nothing to something great; we are no stranger to the scrutinizing eyes and jealousy of those who know not what it means to control their own destiny.

.

Our destiny shall not be shaped by undead abominations or demonic forces; their help is denied and unwanted.

I do not take kind to this blatant defamation. I have never paid a Hiraeth,  Ascera, or Aline Maroth nor do they wear Midpoint suits - as such their actions are not our own. Protection is offered to none yet instead of pursuing them specifically you seek to claim a place of business? Greed and gluttony shall be your downfall.

.

Midpoint shall remain a place of free trade where all are welcome, even the fools who wish to claim my work as their own. Fel and witchcraft are kept from within our industry. The expansion of Gloomlight's sphere of influence shall cease and the incompetence and greed of the Oracle shall be exposed to all and leave Gloomlight worse for wear.

.

This is the history that will be etched in to reality by I, Madavayanna Gregoris."

.

Rumours spread of CEO, Kinsley Kingsley having words of his own to add. Usually, they're shared with an imitation of his accent.

.

""Y'know what, I got slight respect for ya'. Out 'o all the old fucks - you're the only one to talk less, and fuckin' act. It's a shame you're all demon-lovin' hypocrites though. What, tired of sendin' 'lil kids to do your dirty work for ya'? The fuck's a Pleonexia? Golden Dreamer? This is how I know you're just decrepit 'n bitter over old tales.
.
All these people you've listed. . They've been frequenting this place; they've sat here unprotected, and yet you did nothin'. Now you think you can bully us and our stalls into acceptin' your bullshit? Fuck that. Free trade never dies. Coin don't discriminate.
.
As for the skeletons, go back to shutting up and buyin' our wares in silence."

.

MIDPOINT STAND THEIR GROUND AND DENOUNCE THE UNDEAD.
