Greetings Sapience,

The past few articles have been masterfully crafted and have each aimed to forward their own cause while also defaming the new direction of Ashtan.

I won't speak to the theological debates, who is right or wrong. In the end, it does not matter. You are welcome to your opinions, for in the end we will all meet you in the Void when Chaos consumes Creation as has been foretold for millenia.

I will however, address this concept of Ashtan "losing" it's long renowned power in this realm.

Make no mistake, Ashtan is just as strong as the city has ever been, if not moreso with a unified populace to fight and defend under it's banners.

If you think Ashtan weak, I bid you to come try us. We will send you whimpering to Thoth to beg for another chance at whatever pitiful life you choose to lead.

We are here.

We are waiting.

In service to the former bastion hereby known as the Seat,

Atalkez
