Neotaku,

Amidst the 'tripe literature' of slack opinion and slander came
something that caught my eye, and it would seem that of the Imperator
herself. And near immediately after, I sought you out and contacted you
on the matter, to better aqquaint myself with the details of certain
decisions and stances taken.

Though as you brazenly seek to defame and insult the Imperator, speak
half-truths, and spoil your credibility as a so called 'Scientist', I
decided to speak up and give an account from the other side.

On the matter of the Wytchen - really, it is neither our concern nor
yours what the Coterie and their wytches do. And if you have blood ties
within the guild, why not just quietly enquire instead?

On the matter of the Empire - Your ignorance and false accounts may be
mistaken for courage and acts heroism among the Khandavan's, yet it
takes only a bit of archive digging to find out the greater truths.
Among the dead are Cetaran's, Kohdon, and Dwarves. Some are leaders,
some are simple shop-keepers, children, and other innocents. Your
resistance movement as far as I can tell is made up of two or three
people at the most and as it was stated before, the killing does nothing
that benefits Kragge nor Cetara or any of the Empires allies. I cannot
speak on the matter of Kragges former leader, as I was not there and
have never heard of such a happening before now. However, as with the
Wytchen, our dealings, our politics, none of it is your business to
spout about.

And lastly, as a man of several sciences, I am insulted that you would
consider yourself a learned man. Your statement alone is preposterous,
your wit flawed, and your attitude toward the Imperator of Stavenn
unfitting a man of education.

May the darkness consume you,

Eol Caladwen
