Do not unleash yet another EVIL

Oh! I know how to respond to this.

Integrity:
The state of being whole and undivided

I apologize, seems a bit late.

I promise, this is the only scrap of paper I will ruin. The trees are going to be so angry you wasted so much of their energy to build up enough waste that any of you could choke on it and still disagree. Please, discuss this in person. We did not become educated enough to read so we could cause our eyes to bleed from nonsense.

Protesting something by stating you will refuse and instead ask those who do it to stop indicates that you are unwilling to do that thing.

Once again, your "opinion" that we should not free Miranda stems from lies you keep telling yourself and others. If you truly believed we are all free to speak on this topic, then you would not attempt to silence those who point out the fallacies of your words.

Fact: Miranda is the source of the power of Evil. Fiona is the source of the power of Good.
Fact: Miranda was imprisoned in the Weave by the forces of the Fiona Argentis.
Fact: The Fiona Argentis did not - or refused to - understand why Miranda shouldn't be imprisoned (after the fact).
Fact: Fiona imprisoned herself because they did not understand why Miranda needed to be freed.
Fact: Miranda put more effort than Fiona into imprisoning the Null the first time, as Fiona was too distracted by trying to save one person to focus on the task at hand.
Fact: Fiona can not imprison the Null without her sister.

Fact: Your crops are erupting in white flame.
Fact: The day is beginning to eclipse the night.

(Rumor: "Releasing Miranda will destroy the Weave." Do you really think we were given magic by the Fey only to imprison someone they don't really care about? Sure, destroying the Weave would have been a way to release her, but the opposite is not true.)
(Rumor: "Releasing Miranda will have dire consequences." What proof do you have? Stop pretending you know the truth. There is quite literally no evidence to support that.)

This is what we know right now. Forgive me if I missed something, but most of everything else you are spewing is simply an opinion, a baseless claim.

Do you not see what needs to be done?
Release the Darkness, or defeat the Light.

I am not saying there is no other way to defeat the Null. But in the course of events that you all have chosen, there are only those two options.

Do you listen to the people you are supposed to be protecting?
Open your ears to the commonfolk. While you are busy struggling with your morals, they are suffering.
Ask the Seekers. Chronicler's slaves are good at their job, at least.
Do a little digging. Your libraries hold all this information, most of you are just too blinded by light to see it in front of you.

She cannot present proof as these are the words amongst the common folk. Is she to rally them all together to write to you personally?

I have also heard the common folk talk.

She is not trying to incite chaos. She is merely defending herself. When she tries to educate or even perhaps suggest that things are not as some of you think they are, you jump at her throat.

You all want to work in "unity" but want to exclude the darkness. That is not unity. That is not even balance.
The darkness is willing and able to work with you but some of you refuse to let it in.
The problem isn't the darkness, it's standing with it's hand outstretched towards you all, waiting to be grasped so that we may defeat this together. You need only to grab it.

That is knowledge we learned before fighting Balfurous, December of 1214. What do you want me to do, destroy the Baron's books to tear out pages for your viewing pleasure?

Your bias is clear. You will not believe a word written by my hand. How just and fair of you, Templar. There is no use to me copying those passages here, because you will just stamp your feet and whine that I am "being rude" by spreading the truth. If I seem abrasive it is only because I am tired of repeating myself, only to be ignored because my blood runs Black and I wield Frost in my claws, when I am apparently one of the only people to have educated myself on the situation. Open a book, listen to the people, it is all there, and you are all closing your eyes and ears to it because it is not what you want to be true.

Ask Fiona yourself if you don't believe me - but apparently you don't believe her, either, as she quite literally said she needed her sister and most of you are refusing her.

The swamp lord answered half of those questions days ago, but you probably didn't read it, as you were too busy pointlessly arguing.

Subjects of Travance,

We can end all conversations about treason because there will be none. We are facing very trying and very telling times, and for us to fight each other is irresponsible and benefits no man, woman or child; no race, creed or culture; no force for good and no force for evil. All words spoken in passion up until this point shall be forgiven, for we are all fighting for the same survival, and we would do well to pause and remember that.

We have gotten to this point to no ones fault. Some force or greater being has decided that our time with this world is done, and we are speaking out that they are wrong, and that we will not comply with this imposed fate. Since the moment that we have known, all of you have tried your best. The solutions that we are working towards now are not because of a lack of thought or effort, they are simply the best possible course of action discovered in the incredibly small amount of time that we have had to react to it and try to stop it. If any other ideas are being thought of, then bring them to me in person as soon as possible. I will make myself available during this month’s baronial feast.

I am not particularly a being of good or evil, but my beliefs lean far more heavily towards good. While I do not seek to serve Fiona, I am inclined to believe that her words are likely truthful. If she is either physically or metaphysically the force of good, then I am inclined to believe that her intentions are probably good. None of us decided that Miranda was needed, it was Fiona who did, and so while I trust that the greater force of good is likely right, like you, I want answers first. I don’t want answers from Miranda’s followers, or from those who think or claim to be experts. I want answers from Fiona. If she is truly the greater force of good, then she will understand why we all take great pause to this course of action, and she will take the time to explain to us in great detail why we should do as she asks, and what short term and long term effects it will have on the world on the weave and on us. Only after she has answered all of these questions to our satisfaction, will we entertain assisting her in this.

I too have noticed irregularities in the world. I have been under the assumption that they were connected to the null and the possibility of the world ending.

There are two things that we need to focus on. One is following the plans that the Baron has laid out; reaching out to the civilizations of the world for their help in leading the nulls back to Travance. The other is that we must seek out Fiona, have her return to us in person to talk with us so that she can give us the answers that we need before we can decide on how to proceed.

By my will be done,
Count Sebastion Everest of Winterdark
Earl of the Marches
