Eleusian Leadership

Written by: Tyrannus Ruth I'llur, Sartai Navarch
Date: Wednesday, September 10th, 2014
Addressed to: Speaker Ravien Corten, Arcthyos


Beloved Speaker,

I note, with much interest, that your penning of a public response has finally materialized, yet only after much domestic unhappiness and uproar following Eleusis's defeat in a wreck of a war and the public branding of the Wildwood Queen.

You are bold indeed to insinuate on these boards that Lady Gaia's acceptance of Mhaldor's public branding were spurred by Her personal motivations and reasons. It speaks plainly of an Eleusian leadership that has denied and failed its responsibility through the gross mismanagement of our year-long war, to the point that She decided to act on your behalf, as Matron of Eleusis.

One fact remains excruciatingly clear, then, that so long as you remain as Speaker of Eleusis, your shallow and fallacious understanding of the world at large, however minor or major, will ever prevent any attempts at negotiations by your Council to be successful.

Though I would relish a duel and your death, I will deign to repeat myself once again, this time directly to you instead of through your negotiator, Leath-ri Alrena, in forgone hope that my words may perhaps get through to you now.

It was never about the physical pursuit and acquisition of your decapitated head and battered corpse, Ravien Corten; it was the intent, the -meaning- behind my original demand of your public submission that holds the worth that Mhaldor seeks. Do not take me as one of your fools by attempting to offer a valueless alternative.

The matter of your Matron's brand is your own issue to resolve.

His Eternally,
Tyrannus Ruth I'llur

Penned by my hand on the 11th of Aeguary, in the year 664 AF.
