Address From The Silver Wordsmith

Of Silver and Fire
 

Dear Azdromoth the First-Born, It is evidently clear that my words and agenda are twisted wrongly by the populace of Mali’thill as well as by your children. Never not once have I transferred my own opinion within the pages of The Silver Wordsmith. I merely work as a messenger of those too afraid of speaking out loud.

 

Thus, Azdromoth The First-Born, I hereby offer you my deepest apologies as it was never within my personal intention to offend you or your followers. I would also like to offer you a headline, together showing a side of the Nephilim many fail to see.

 

Time and place of your choosing; I wish for us to privately meet and deliberate the headline if you are to accept it. 

 

The Silver Wordsmith does not have political views. It does not have opinions. It is not a person but a collective of journalists writing the words of the people.

 

- The Silver Wordsmith

[Demented_Delila 1248]

“And yet they offer no apology for slander. This simply just does not sound like an ‘apology’, it sounds like a list of excuses. Does not have political views but openly seeks to damage the reputation of Okariran, writing the words of the people to afraid to speak? We’re not Diarchists. Nobody’s been punished for speaking up or out since- well. I can’t remember, it’s been a terribly long time...” 

[Kalehart 1096]

An avid if mostly ironic reader of The Silver Wordsmith reclines in his office as he looks over the brief publication. A smile creeping across his features, the Okarir chortles to himself and extends one luminously tattooed hand to push the paper aside, head shaking slowly,

”A meeting I should most like to witness. To speak against those that work with the Firstborn in the city, to attack their purity and undermine their authority not just as the Wordsmith, but as individuals, and yet to claim that they are not responsible and do not espouse their own views... A most curious stance indeed. Wild coincidence, then, that the opinions they have thus far published align with those which the ones most likely to be behind the alias have been using to compromise the institutions vital to the health and safety of Haelun’or.”

 

A quiet sigh leaves him as he shakes his head and looks to the surface of his desk, brow knit with concern,

 

”I’m not sure I’d much like to see what such an article for the ‘other side’ would turn out to be. Misrepresented in the extreme, I fear, twisted to fit the narrative they favor. I do hope they’ll prove to have more integrity than I dare expect, though, in the unlikely event that the Firstborn humors such an offer.”
