or the past decade, only silence has seeped from my esteemed office. My, nor my subsidiaries, quietude is not one negligence or ennui, but instead one of concern and diligence. Many of you, as per the numerous letters we’ve received within the last month, are sure to have noticed the ‘new star’ within our skies. It has become an anecdote for hope and our impending success as a nation amongst our peoples, but it is far from what you’ve all happily understood it to be. This ‘new star’ is rather a large piece of cosmic rock—a cosmic boulder—and as many of you noted, has been growing.
This is not a swelling star, my fair people, but a sign of danger. I beg that you all heed my warning.
At the very crux of my soul, I feel as if it is Ybis himself that has appeared in our night, seeking to punish us for the crime of war and to interfere with our plans, just as he had done to Garmund.
The Cosmic Boulder has been nearing rapidly throughout our ten years of examination and we fear it is to make contact with our lands in due time. It is impossible to tell exactly when this may occur, or where it is to make impact, at this stage.
As examined in the past, the Cosmic Boulder can fracture during its descent and scatter smaller pieces of rock throughout our lands, of which we are hoping for. In other circumstances, however, it has fallen whole, creating vast craters that annihilate all in its path—homes, farmlands, farm animals, and people, and severely damaging all about it. We do not know its exact size as of yet, so we can not measure the fallout preemptively. However, we will continue to keep a close eye on the Cosmic Boulder and notify the Crown and the People as necessary.
With this being said, it is in all of our best interests that we designate safe houses for each village, county, city and otherwise. Spaces below ground are vital for the security of our people. It is imperative that we begin to harbour food, water, and clothes for warmth in each of these safe houses posthaste. Cut down on the sizes of our livestock and prepare to harbour your hardiest animals with you. In these times, class, age, nor allegiance matter.
We will survive together, or die together.
