Power corrupts

[Garn 14]

A crude parchment is found lying on the table of the new ascended base.

"Ascended I must speak out. The sages have abandoned us. I have questioned their thirst for power since I met the strange fellows at Aeriel's keep. It would seem te me dat the longer you have this power and the more ye use it the more it corrupts ye. The sages fell victim by tryin to get stronger than Aeriel had intended."

"And now we have a sage I have never met that was supposed to have been gone or dead a long time ago. I cannot trust him. He may have been corrupted as well. He may have the proper intentions I do not know but I cannot follow him.

"I will continue on as previously living in de north. I will stay at the FOA base and continue the fight."

"Others agree with me on thse things and have asked te join me. ye are welcome to join me as long as yer reasons are proper." We are not rebelling against the ascended we are just continuing de fight in our own way."

"Perhaps one day this sage and his followers will prove me wrong but I will not make the same mistake twice.Do not take this the wrong way brothers I will always aid you and any others in battle against the undead."

"My mind is open if any of ye would like to discuss this further."

Yer friend and brother Garn.

((I made sure this was ok with multiple GM"s. Garn has had issues with the sages for a long time and would never blindly follow a new sage after what happened.

" Brother this Sage I 'ave know for a very very long time. Since I was a boy 'e 'as been about... I am watching 'im and helping and 'e is the perfect Sage for the job. he will not fail you."

He did not fail us. We have attacked the Undead in numbers much higher than before. I trust him much more than the other sages.

I agree our last sage didn't leave us like th others.... that should say something

Hmph, you would turn your back on such a friend? True the sages are gone, but in sage okanowa[[?]] we have a chance to hope. I know that my self and the majority of the rest of the FOA are already allied with the sage.

After the chaos of the last few days many things are unclear, i myself am unsure of the current leadership of the FOA, however unless you are the new leader of the FOA than i cannot help but feel that you are oversteping your mark.

If you are the new leader of the FOA than i will, in sense of loyalty to the order and all that it stands for, follow you-though i plead that you consider the situation, consider our past loyalty and consider the wishs of the majority of the FOA.

Follow the sage.

I think some people misunderstand. Only the ascended with knowledge of the new base would be able to read this message.
