To The People of Travance

Dr. Willowyn,

The Quinarian man you refer to is Renior Fai, the selfsame man that everyone else refers to. I have read his journals, and spoken to him and his former symbiote, and what all these experts have told you is true. I encourage you to do your own research, if you are a man of learning, because I have confidence it will lead you to the same result: True Warlocks must become what they are willingly, else they would not be True Warlocks. If you want resources to begin this study or suggested avenues of inquiry, feel free to ask.

In the interest of pursuing and sharing truth and knowledge,
Talaniel Starling

I feel like my work here is done.

Yes, one can hope you learned those important lessons Doctor.

I doubt it, but hey if I didn't have hope I'd only have the crushing sense of despair for future generations.

For those attempting to follow along with this bewildering "discourse"and might be a bit confused:

1) A "true warlock" is the name given to the being that is both host & symbiote, though it is sometimes used to refer to just the symbiote alone.
2) The symbiote is an intelligent, sapient demon from the Abyssal Plane of Shadow.
3) Like all demons, the symbiote cannot exist on the Material Plane without an anchor for long. The host serves as the anchor.
4) The host must willingly allow the symbiote to enter their body and co-exist.
5) Yes, there are cases where someone has not realized the full extent of what that meant, and regretted their choice afterwards, but on the whole this is not what happens, because...
6) A symbiote seeks a powerful host, which means that host would be much more difficult to control. Thus, the symbiote seeks a person whose goals align with their own for a host, to eliminate the need for control.
7) In other words, anyone who takes on a symbiote has some less-than-savory goals.
8) The government of Kormyre (including the Great Council of Travance) only care about those goals if they would harm the people of Kormyre.
9) Chancellor Enzarond, who has willingly taken on a symbiote, has brought war to Kormyre and is currently trying to mentally enslave the entire nation.
10) Chancellor Enzarond is now an enemy of the Kingdom.
11) Anyone aiding the Chancellor, or actively preventing us from dealing with him, is also an enemy of Kormyre.
12) It is possible the Duke is being mentally enslaved by Chancellor True Warlock here. We will investigate that. If he is, it just adds to the list of crimes against the kingdom that the Chancellor has committed.
13) If the Duke is not being controlled, then he is an enemy all on his own, and will be dealt with accordingly.

So talk all you want, but anyone stepping inbetween any of our forces and the Chancellor will be treated as an enemy, and, well... have you seen what Travance does to her enemies?

Oh man, I have...

The remnants are hard to describe with words. There's only so many ways you can write 'bloody pulp' before it becomes repetitive.

It's ok,

When we kill them all the gods can sort out who did what and who is responsible for what and make sure they go to the right place.

That's how religion works I've been told.

Then, as was indicated earlier. The Symbiote wouldn't take that. They want minds that are perfectly aligned with their goals to make it easier. A mind controlled person would not be an alike mind, that's not how any of that works. Yes I am an expert. Yes I do know what I'm talking about. No you do not have a counterargument to your point that actually makes sense or is worth exploring. The Chancellor is dead, will be killed and that's the end of that discussion. If you continue to support him you are a traitor to this place and should probably return to Grimwyr and to your masters service.
