Charade's End (Gloomlight Grove vs. Midpoint)

[Coroneljones]

---

From the Castle-City of Martyrs´ Vigil, training drills were a near-monthly occurrence for the Militant Wing of The Order, yet, seemingly even prior to the declaration from the Oracle of Gloomlight, their pace had increased with far more regularity, until the day came.
And as was formality for politics, flyers bearing the order´s crest soon joined Gloomlight´s own, seemingly trailing after, board by board, as an addition from its Church of Morality.

"The Crafting Delights.

Pleonexia, and then Prospera.

Midpoint.

The commonality of one thing.

Greed masquerading as equal fairness,
So that a want for coin without morality, may masquerade as neutrality.

To the Coven of Denath, know this.
We never forgot about you, since Prospera, and there will be no escape for what you have done.
We know where you shall go, when you flee, and so we will hunt until you accept judgement for your sins.
Again and again, until your works are naught but a memory, to rid the peninsula of your banal temptations.
Just as you and yours once tried to erase the memory of another long gone, through Atrellyan Witchcraft.


And to those of Midpoint, who reject history so they may claim ignorance when they repeat it.
There will be a stop put to the complacency that you spew, for it is naught but a poison that spreads.

For far better cities have been put to the pyre by others in memorable times, for far less, and this is but a mercy, granted by The Oracle of Athelios, to judge as is right, equal punishment as befitting the individual."

If right, to be kept right,

If wrong, to be set right.

Under the Benevolent and Vigilant Gaze of our Guiding Star.

Her Blessed Tribunal commands, and thus its Order answers.

This missive has been brought to you from the desk of the Hand of Hope.

The die had been cast.

The Goldlight Order would support Gloomlight´s siege and occupation of Midpoint.
