“Tiberias’ dreams of human unity and an Emperor’s Laurels are delusion. I ask, once we are dead and Balian is in ruins, how long before the blood stagnates? How long will their unity endure without a common enemy, before the Hyenas turn on each other? No, we will not see true human unity within our lifetime. It is in our nature to be fractious, to seek independence and freedom. People will not long abide a tyrant, they never do. Sic semper tyrannis, Tiberias. You would do well to remember such.” Pontificated Miroslaw Jazlowiecki.
