*the following letter is delivered to the Royal Court of Light [Luna and her allies, as well as the Sanctus resistance force]. It is to be read aloud at the next meeting of the Court*

To those concerned,

I am more than capable of empathy. The very energy you all now feel invigorated by as you prepare to march on my great city must truly be palpable and I can appreciate that. First, let me salute you and extend my congratulations for you ability to finally pool together enough dimwits and followers to mount an attempt at my throne.

I truly believed that my presence in Sanctus would secure the borders and let rest of the hounds of war but I can see now that peace is above you. I question your motivations, each and every one of you. If any of you were so bold as to take a walk through Sanctus, you would not find hellfire and brimstone rising up from the earth, stars falling and mutalated corpses strewn about the path. You would find a productive, active and growing city perfectly capable of existing on its own without outside influence.

It has always been so obvious to me that there is no such thing as a lightbringer. It is merely a title some people cling to at night before they go to sleep, to justify what they do. It is so glaringly obvious, that The Royal Court of Light and its allies, do indeed fall into this heading. No inspections...no requests for aid. Just bent your ear to Baron and Zarlox and called it a day, and declared war. Where is diplomacy? Where is justice? Where is reason? You may not like me, but damnit I do what I promise.

I am prepared for war. My mercenary guard has tripled in size and my coffers are insanely deep. I will give you your fight, if it's what you truly want. I will not lose. If my ragtag mercenaries prove a...fruitless investment, you will take back a broken, battered shell of what was once Sanctus. There is no tone of anger, no tone of revenge, and certainly no tone of fear in my voice. I am calm, collected and prepared as always. You will not be the ones to bring me down.

Be advised; March on my city, and I'll put it to the torch.

*Letter is not signed, instead is stamped with an insignia and a seal*
