[Smithers 388]

A simple statement is issued for all to see, distributed on the level of the wartime propaganda. Individual copies are issued to the leaders of Alras and Urguan, perceivedly in the hopes that both nations see the folly in their declaration. 

 

"I maintain no qualms with typical wartime propaganda, for it is essential to victory for either side, but this time you go too far. To fork blame on another nation and level accusations of alliances with the Black Scourge is to sow the seeds of chaos and unknowingly fall in line with the agenda that the dread dragon Setherien sets for all. It is an agenda that includes conflict and death among all nations, with the intent of the Black Scourge being to come in after the dust has settled and sweep over all weakened nations. I will have all know that it was I who faced down both of those who deem themselves 'Harbingers' in single combat, killing them both. It was not Oren land that they were fighting upon; it was the archway above the battlefield that offered oversight as the two Scourgemen fired down upon both forces, an area entirely and indisputably under the jurisdiction of Alras and Urguan. It was not the forces of Oren that ran back and forth beside them, unwilling to raise a blade in the defense of all sentient races, but instead the routed forces of Alras and Urguan, either stricken by fear or blissfully turning an eye to individuals who might heighten their chances of victory. Do not level blame where it is not due, or all is lost in the face of an enemy greater than us all."
