Dearest Stavenn and its Imperator,

Recently it came to my attention as the Sacred Fury of the Red Maiden,
that you were overcome with a fear that the Black Jackal monuments to
the Red Maiden Herself were to be used as weapons against the Empire of
Stavenn. It took me awhile to recover from the chuckle that comment gave
me and here is why.

At no point in time in the modern history of our world, have the powers
of the Red Maiden been evoked through the eyes of the Black Jackal.
Unlike many faiths, those of the Seasons, of Death and of the Suns, we
do not call upon our faith to accommodate that which our bodies and
minds cannot alone.

Furthermore, to call down the fires of Her ire, I would need to declare
some of your armies as enemies, heretics to our cause and honestly, I
cannot in good conscience do that. As per my beliefs, even the lowest
form of life can be useful in spreading the seeds of strife, malcontent
and hatred in this life. You and your playthings of the pit are pivotal
in maintaining the strife, the bloodshed and the never ending hatred
that those of my fold revel in. While you are nowhere near grasping the
finer points of Wrath in its truest form, you are far too splendid as
instruments of Wrath to cast away for something so petty, such as a
mortal war or the temporary elation of a single raid.

The only crime that would call down the declaration of heresy would be
to defile or mar the visage of the Jackal itself. Only such an action
could earn one Her eye which would call those who follow Her to name you
Her enemy. Until such a time as that occurs, there will be no enemies of
Wrath in this world.

I do hope this has alleviated any confusion or misinformation that you
might have encountered so that the Empire of Stavenn will not entirely
turn their back upon One who was so dedicated in the Empires foundation
and prosperity before the modern times.

In the fires of Her ire,
Kabal
