El'Jazira,

We have found that pit you harbor, and slain the keeper of your slaves. We have slain your Sheik, and countless members of your guard force. Your supposed Warlord has approached, demanding to know our purpose there is. This is our answer.

-Release the slaves you keep for the entertainment of broken men.

-Release the slaves you keep in that absurd little palace of yours.

Fail to comply and we will revisit you with enthusiasm. We will burn your bazaar, take the heads of all those involved, and fill that wretched hole you have carved out for your games with skulls. And to those held in bondage there: If you would flee, do so. There is a better life, if only you dare to reach for it. The Beacon will shelter you. The Spear will guard you.

-Rashar Del'baeth, First Spear of the Dawn
