I awoke from my slumber on this day, quite preturbed. Something has been wrestling in my mind since I viewed the decree MiLord Tarothin has set posted throughout the lands of the LightBringers. For though, as it is surely known, I lurk in the shadows and keep my own thoughts and opinions to myself, the recent events, as well as the rumors and hustle and bustle about replies to Milord's action has forced my eyelids to remain open.

As far as I have ever known, it has always been known that one can own or claim a territory, or acres of land that they call their own, as personal property. Yes, I believe this is truly correct. This blatant, yet simple fact is surely a statement of truth, otherwise there would be no Yew wars, no hostility, nothing to fight over, nobody to get angry with. Our settlement on the outskirts of Cove is what we call our own, those we do not wish to step foot may not, or they shall be asked to pay a small tax, a fee for troubing us to even stop you from treading across the lands that we have fought for and established. If you cannot pay this small fee then you my friend are one poor sample of pity to be looked down upon. If you do not wish to pay this fee for your own reasons, besides poverty, whatever they may be, then you pay the price of death. It is that easy. Do you not expect such things? I ponder to myself, concepts such as these are taught to newborn's and those who remain unknownst to this fact must be quite ignorant indeed. Speaking of ignorance, of all people, I believe the Lightbringers would know what it means to defend their own land. Was it not last week when just as I had stepped off that Luna moongate, I was greeted headstrong by two House of Gauntlet Guards. The first, what was this fellows name again...*ponders to himself* Oh yes, Chad...tried to drive me out, even after I explained my business of re-supplying my vendor house staked in the Eastern corner of the Paladin city. He acted as if he owned the entire city and he demanded my departure at once. Either that or death. That is what my choices were limited to by this man and his silly white robe. She was from House Gaunlet too I believe. To avoid further confrontation, (which I indeed do regret now that I look back) , I decided I'd come back another time when power hungry fools weren't patrolling around with swords wielding, pretending like their going to do something about it. I, on the other hand took the iniative further down the road. *smirks a bit*

The thirst for power which is quenched by the imperalist notions of these Lightbringers has forced the Dark Order, as well as the rest of it's dark alliances to protect their land against all costs, and all of thine enemies, especially those who deem the same actions upon them. I see no wrong in this. One of the things I do see , on the other hand, is that the name Lightbringers really does suit their fancy quite well. As most have already seen, amongst myself, the name is suitable given that the Light they shed and yield as their power force is just one of blinding and deciet. Their virtuous values which they try and follow throughout the days is clouded and veiled by a mask of evil. The same mask of evil that I wear, the same mask of evil that we all wear deep inside our soul. The difference between the Lightbringers and my fellow comrades is that the Lightbringers supress these notions, and disguise them with fun, charming , delightful little words such as Justice, and Honor, and of course, the most ironic of them all, "Light". What is light you say? I have come to realize it is no more then a flicker of nonsense that will be stomped out.

As for my fellow comrades who have not seen this fact, which presents itself clear as day, I do not understand what has compelled you to follow in their footsteps. Perhaps it's the fear of being marginalized after the battles in Yew have ended, or perhaps it's more of a tendency to jump along the bandwagon and fall into line like so many already have surrendered to. For whatever the reason, I loathe the darkness in you I had once called my own as well. My bretheren, my mentor, Beowulf, has indeed shown me much and taught me well throughout the months, but I am sickened and disgraced by his lack of respect and regard for those who have sheltered his existence and kept him from the brink of death many a times, for many a moons. Though I do not understand his decision, I do understand what it must feel like for him and the rest of the lightbringers, with the threads of their throat quivering in the wake of the blade of death. Our numbers prove this as no jester's line. This is the truth of the situation. The Orcs, and the Order of the Ebon Skull, despite past relations, have thus far proved as extremely worthy alliances in our cause against the matter that stands before us. I will submit, toppling the regime of the Regency, and seeing Rufus's head on a silver dining plate before me, served with cabbage (how fitting), is indeed a task and a half. But once completed, the echoes of the after-effects will free those who have fallen under the grip of a band of silly beauracratic tyrants. As for the rest of the Lightbringers, their ears will be served as appetizers, and their memos of the readings and scriptures of the Church sermons will continued to be used as proper paper to wipe with. To those that continue to oppose the Dark Order and the Armunn legacy, your time will come. I am sure of it.

I must go seek rest as I see that dawn is finally approaching.
