Algoron,

Two years ago from today I took my quill and urged an insurgence to find me.

I recalled the tale of the man who found me and gave me life.

I wrote of Shay Kayen and the philosophy he and Malcom the Prophet

augured through sheer profundity of thought, through the constant

questioning of things as they exist today. I am not interested in

professing invalidated "truths" that claim enlightenment, not without hard

sources invoked from the experience of living and thus knowing.

I wrote two years ago that peace can be found at the end of bloody roads.

Ours was a revolution, not only of the fiery steel of military warfare but

of faith and experimentation. We asked 'why? ' of every question. Why

must Kwainin's balance exist if it will result in war neverending - of an

unconquered bloodshed persisting in a status quo that will never yield peace

nor order?

Why do the beggars still shamble in the golden streets of Althainia if

Austinian represents "Virtue" and "Goodness" and other philosophical

concepts bereft of actual weight?

They call us evil. Evil is by common definition wrongdoing. Because we

desire order, because we desire an organized Unitarian society which will

pool a likeminded community toward a common end, we are called evil.

You may or may not hear rebuttals. You may hear from Malachive's traitorous

brotherhood who trusts the Godson who betrayed his own father, or you may

hear from the men who insist there are no beggars in Althainia. I will say

it again.

More than anything, I ask that you look at the world with objective eyes.

When you're finished, find me. Any able-bodied man who seeks real change

through methodical principles will find their way to Storm Keep paid in

full. I will arm you, and I will fill the vacuum which has plagued you and

displace the faiths which have antagonized you:

I will save you.
