I stand accused of acting in bad faith, but my detractor does not bring up the Kinsarmarian actions of killing our citizens, and invading and attempting to occupy our council chambers. An act that strikes at the very heart of Celidonian ability to self govern. An act and attempted annexation of council land and the very seat of our power. I've not at all acted in bad faith, I've spoken honestly of our policies at every turn acted to correct any failings we have as swiftly as possible and the Kinsarmarian people were not blind sided by this change that has decades of achieved history behind it.

The Kinsarmarian people have a long-standing history of duplicitous action, from not disclosing the full extent of their crimes here to active treason against the circle. I ask the people of the realms to remember Celidons long history of openness toward other cultures that extends to times long before my birth. In days long before great siege weapon brought fear to travelers when circles weren't even a thought Celidon had open borders welcoming those who wished to visit our wonderful lands. The history of Celidon is a history of coexistence, taking up arms for us has always been a last resort and response to oppressors seeking to harm our people, take our land, and burn our forests.

The people of Celidon maintain our Traditions,
The people of Kinsarmar maintain their treachery
