On The Declaration of Rule

I can tell that teatime is going to be quite tense this upcoming feast.

You seem to mistake my call for neutrality in an uncertain time as acceptance of this Duke's claims when the truth couldn't be further. I have always, and will always, stand for the Kingdom of Kormyre and it's prosperity.

It appears now that the time for uncertainly is over. Given the letter from the Count posted by Squire Odette, the Duke has made his move by attacking Loez and taking cities and villages by force. This regrettably, but necessarily, means war. Many will die and the innocent will suffer. I hope you're happy, because I for one will lament each and every life lost unnecessarily due to the actions of short-sighted people.

I have just returned back to the Barony and have read the news from Squire Odette.

Nay, I would never rejoice in any life lost in the ravages of war, quite the contrary. However, the blame is to be placed upon the treasonous and not on those to whom you have deemed short-sightedness. It has been the choice of the treasonous to bring this war to us. Our response will be to end it as swiftly as possible.

Yours in Light,
