Imbalance

[GSM]

Questions were had about the whereabouts of one specific Archon- as if there were any others- for approximately a year.
Seeming to have vanished, only to be accidentally visited by others that have been responding to the crisis of the Tower, the status- for now- was ascertained.
Na'Ria, the Archon, was alive.
And though a litany of hushed speakings were employed, no words could prepare just what would be spoken of next.

A paper sporting a brand of six eyes would be used for notices given all throughout Meranthe.
An insignia that had not seen use for twenty-six years of any official capacity.
And the only place that was actively avoided was the Ten's Citadel.

The letters read as follows:

x

It is not often that I've a great need to air private dealings, but here we are;

you have a single hand to thank for such an action.

x

This notice is courtesy of the being once known as Na'Ria.

Though the past self has committed many sins and has done many wrongs,

I am not that Demon King any longer.

x

Recently, I was asked by Oracle Ysayl dul Vique to appear for judgment under the gaze of a court.

I would be appraised for my past self's crimes by the leaders of the world,

and sentenced according to what was seen fit.

x

If this is news to you, that is intentional.

This was a deliberate action by the Ten's Citadel, in their negotiations for a peace treaty with the Gloomlight Grove.

They silenced dissent before it could be voiced, by hiding this knowledge away from you.

And they played a near-flawless hand.

x

Sabathiel failed to mention the scheduling of any sort for the actual trial.

I went under the premise of peace and fair judgment, but I was told that I was 'the exact same as Sak'noth'.

'Little more than an undead, chasing their master's whims'.

'Sporting no free will, begging to be slain'.

x

Execution was among the sentencings discussed, for crimes I have- and continue to- pay penance for.

One of Londo stepped in and acted as an official, yet held no legitimacy, and was still treated to an opinion upon the court.

Those of Aegis had many upon their rank and file simply sit in listening.

x

And, of course, Sabathiel continued to do little more than twist any words he could into ammunition against me.

If I wished to right my wrongs, do good where I could? It was not because it was my own wishes.

Because Sak'noth was also revived, we share the same jurisdiction.

x

The representative of Aphros was continually silenced and told to hold his tongue.

Sabathiel himself spoke within the thoughtform of how he 'enjoyed watching him squirm'.

This is all to say, of course, that this judgment, though the gavel has not hit the court's desk just yet,

is entirely unjust.

x

To put it loosely, asking for a compromise between indentured servitude and mindless execution to be,

'removing bodily organs and memories until the being no longer resembles the past self',

is nonsensical at absolute best.

x

That is why I am no longer playing by this game's arbitrary-at-best rules.

x

When I submitted myself for judgment, I believed it would be fair.

I would understand anger, but I was left to be rambled at by a madman with a spear and a heritage of dogmatic pride.

Even as I write this, I afear the worst could happen at any moment.

x

So, this letter finds its way to you.

x

I implore you to form your own opinions, speak with me if you must, and discuss it with those around you.

You were initially not given that luxury.

x

I pray this finds you well, if you are unaffiliated with this case.

x

Because now, you are.
