On War and Peace
Approved for General Publication

12th of Harren’s Folly, 1855


Violence and war have gripped humanity for centuries as we remain divided amongst the unequivocal sin that has rotted this world. The sins of wrath, ambition, covetousness, disloyalty and so many more have begun to rot away at the heart of humanity who is supposed to be a testament to the scrolls of canondom and lead by example amongst the heathens. This is not meant to spark deceit or for one to pick a side, but conversation and reflections over the actions that we as humans are all guilty of. 

 

It is time for the age of violence and spilling the blood of humanity to come to an end. Time and time and again it has been seen that we resort to war instead of allowing for the virtues given to us by GOD’s prophets to guide us. WE as the leaders of humanity have allowed wrath and ambition to cloud our judgment upon the actions we take to protect our people. Change can be made so long as we allow for the virtues to guide us, “So I am the Most High, and in pursuit of My Virtue, I bid my faithful this: You shall not raise a hand in wrath, nor in envy, nor in any kind of sin.” (Virtues 3:9) The scrolls have stated that we should not raise a hand in sin, yet is that not the root of actions that have led to the route of violence? Why is it that instead of taking action in the form of spreading the virtues to cite one’s wrongdoings that we instead raise the blade to those in some cases we once called friends? 

 

Not only in matters of the faith have we been torn apart by this, but matters of the temporal that we preside over. The numerous accounts of bloodshed of innocents that have occurred on account for our decisions as leaders of humanity, the numerous accounts of lifes being shifted and people displaced from their homes because of our actions we have taken, the numerous amounts of times which the impoverish have been taken from on the accounts of humanities actions; it is all relative to the fracturing of the faithful. It has further cemented these centuries long grudges and feuds that have led to nothing but an age of darkness that has clouded over not only us, but the common people that we have the responsibility of ensuring the safety of. This continuous turning towards war as the only option has led to the destruction of humanity time and time again; villages burned, children sent off to fight in battles they have no business fighting in, the distraction away from the true problems of the world and our homes. The suffering of those that we are meant to guide and protect must end, WE must be the ones to end this cycle of pain and suffering which has been brought to fruition from this violence. 

 

This is a calling to the faithful to do better, to be better, for all of humanity to do what our forefathers could not. To speak with words of virtue and faith to solve one’s problems instead of reaching for the blade to form resolve. We have an opportunity to right the wrongs of our generations that have been made countless times over to lead us to this fracturing point. The time to bridge our differences has begun, and it is time we do our duty to take action to do better.


Signed;
Her Excellency, Vasileia Ekaterini Basrid
Lady Chancellor of Savoy

Lucien reads the publication, settling it down afterwards as he allows for his thoughts to digest the most remarkable information and views. He smiles - visage shifting to the fireplace with much hope for a brighter future.

"The eternal war will end, as they say," muttered the Landgrave of Alstreim to his son and heir, "When the Emperor enjoys his own again. Not one moment sooner." @Fireheart

Melia nods her head along to the missive, concurring with the Lady Chancellor as she idled within the court of Savoy. Though the high elf was clueless to human politics, she certainly enjoyed the drama it brought along with it!
