A Vardakkian Note

You know,
I've always thought that the light of Valos to be a metaphorical one. More like shedding light on a unknown situation than literal, burning, fire. Always respected leading by inspiration, rather the typical negative reinforcement you see in so many.
The problem is that too many weaklings are getting titles and leading others under them. Ya gotta inspire with strength, and victory. Leave your weak at home, take your strongest, and claim what you know by Enax's law to be yours.
If you want to win, you need Gaaldron.

This is enough.

Your bickering is unbecoming, all of you.
You, who serve General Hogtooth, should feel ashamed. This is completely out of line behavior for such militant trained soldiers. Do not start a fight for your General to happen upon when he arrives. This matter is with Duke Balliol and not commoners and clergy. What kind of insubordination is this that you would find it acceptable?
You are representatives of his and as of right now, you are giving him a poor image. He is coming to discuss the concerns of Duke Balliol's battle plans himself, unless you lot now claim to speak for or above him? But I might believe that to be stepping out of station and a very punishable offense.

The rest of you, you are representatives of the Duke's Empire in this moment. Act like it. Be the example that shows you are not like the criminals under Count Everest. The Church is held to the same laws as the rest of the kingdom. Enact your retribution against the enemy, not the citizenry. I will remind you, murder, in any regard, is punishable by the Empire by summary execution. If they be of vile faith, their crimes will see them kneeling before the executioner.

There will not be disorder before the Duke's arrival. We will not be the same chaotic disorganized population that answer to Count Everest.

In Loyalty to the Empire, I remain,

My apologies Ser Tristram. As well as to any I may have accidentally offended with my words.

Orders are orders.

Sherwynne,
You know, you keep on blathering the way you've been, and some of us "heathens" are going to get sore about it. We vermin, we roaches, we march like the hoard you want us to be in the name of the Duke, and we kill and win for him. We proudly take down the maggots, the weaklings in our way, and we swarm to victory. Just because you find the darker places from which some of your fodder crawl distasteful, don't forget those fighting on your side.

Hail Enax, praise His mighty name, for it is us acting as His armored fist who will bring down the enemy. His proud and righteous armies will route the frightened, the cowardly, the ones who fail their betters.

And, Sherwynne, if you like fire so much, I'm more than willing to let you light the way to our glory with as much flame as you're into. Knock yourself out. Please.
