Winter Dark Deliverance

All,

This infighting will not help our war effort. Everyone is doing what they can to help in the ways they know how, whether that be just following orders, as I am, and the rest of the Guard is, or acting on what they believe is the right thing to do. I will say again, as several of you have already acknowledged, these boards are public, not just to heroes, but to anyone. They look upon these papers, tacked in anger and signed by some of Arawyn's finest, and they see squabble, petty slander, most importantly, destabilization.

We must show them that we stand together, differences in strategic opinions or not. What's been done has been done. I will not allow the commonfolk of Travance to wander into the Dragon's Claw, seeking shelter and comfort in this time of war, and find a board full of messages showing that we are focusing on a simple disagreement and misunderstanding more than steeling ourselves for the time again.

I say again, we are stronger than this. Winterdark will not fall. Travance will not fall. Lord Aleister and Count Sebastian will stand victorious with our help, and they will be proud of each individual, hero or not, that stood loyal to the good of this land.

Who the is this guy

Allow me a moment of clarification,

I am not angry. This is not slander. I am telling you as a Kormyrian authority to mind your wording. It is my duty to do so. I would not come here hoping to use emotion to change anyone's mind. I have accepted that no amount of patience or explanation will help Mr. Zanthios understand any fact that does not conform to his flights of fancy.

And I have the utmost confidence in our leadership; this farce has done wonders for morale. Everyone needs a good laugh from time to time.

Best,

Magistrate,

If you think this was a farce, could I suggest speaking with Count Everest himself since he plotted the course rather than lobbing blame at a newly minted squire trying to do right by lawful authority? Ethan and I could use some assistance in organizing the cellar if you find yourself bored.

--Squire Chet Hardwick

Let us leave this with Private Marcain's wisdom instead of yours, Squire Hardwick. I know you are new to this, so you will report to me as soon as you enter the Proper at this upcoming Feast for instruction on how a Baronial squire should act.

There will be no further postings on this subject on this board. If anyone has any questions as to why these books were moved, you may speak to me in person or send myself or Lord Tartaros a missive.
