ON COWARDICE

The other Day or so, A handful of men were captured from Petra and taken to Grense. Now, as for myself, lacking the age or stature to participate in combat; arrived late enough only to join in on the post-combat celebrations while those gathered anticipated a rescue. However, when I did arrive, I found THE MOST HOLY RALLY taking pity on two of the men captured, for their homelands and their allies had forsaken them: left them for dead. Treachery is a crime most foul, and treachery motivated by cowardice even more so. As for the other, he was taken into the Holy See for repentance, if I am remembering correctly.

Indeed, not long after my arrival did I hear a soldier cheer:
“Haense didn’t even ring their damn bell!”
Truly an embarrassment for that nation which claims itself to be so high-and-mighty.

I have heard nothing said on either side regarding this lack of action, so despite my youth I find myself compelled to spread the word. To those of the Covenant, remember: You have forsaken your GOD for these people.
 

Alicent Elena,
Princess of Ravenmire

Nicoleta Haverlock raised a curious brow. "How did said soldier know the Haense bell did not get rung. . .? Unless he was there the whole time and came back. Interesting." The lady spoke within her husband's office.
