Maccabeus, I write this post to you as your body lies broken and beaten outside the ruins of the Bank of Mhaldor.

It is normal for a man to question his ideals and motives from time to time, to seek truths to help guide you towards the future. It is a sign of weakness that your loyalty and dedication has faltered and it is indeed something you must seek to overcome.

If you believe that such can be done under strict rule of Mhaldor, then so be it. However it must be said that their so called claims at strength are false, and it is only within yourself that you can find what you seek. It is not through torture, sufferings and slavery one becomes strong, but through hard work, training at ones art and years of willful dedication.

What does it tell you when a person must be beaten, cut and molested before they can rise up to their potential?

I write to offer you a way back, you have made a bad decision, but it is not late to rectify the error. Should you so desire, you will be welcomed back to the village and the Pack.

I hope you see reason,
Blackthorn General,
Rangor Corten,
Guardian of Nature
