Declaration For A Crusade

by Anastasia Alleeva

Hear ye righteous souls, Hear ye Anchorites, Hear ye Crusaders, Hear ye Zealots, Hear ye Vengeful Spirits, I declare a victory over the Great Enemy, I, Warden Amore Alleeva, wife of Warden Anastasia Alleeva, friend of Warden Cicero "Mage Slayer" Liao-Alleeva, have killed Dadrurom the "Queen piece" and highest lieutenant of the Great Enemy. With the aid of the righteous we have brought him and his fiendish Goddess to their knees under the great might of our Undaunting might. I know all of my kin felt it in their souls, I was chosen as a vessel to enact a deal on behalf of our god Kavaki, an honor normally only bestowed to Shamans or Sky-Watchers, but I did not disappoint the Ram Lord, I lived up to his expectations and crushed the despot with superior strength and skills. The Great Enemy is in a precarious situation now, although he still has many powerful allies, this is a hole in his previously thought impenetrable barrier, and we can drive our fists into it to further tear his armor asunder. Those who have been dispersed, threshed and broken, I offer you this glimmer of hope for freedom. I need not remind you that our peoples will never truly be free as long as the Great Enemy and his rejects walk the ground, drink the water, and breath the same air as us. So I use this victory to declare a Crusade within the bounds of the once grand Empire of Man, use your faith, your mind, your strength, and your will to root out the Great Enemies' Evil in every corner of the realm. Think of the Greater Good of the Tribe, you need not put fist to bone to root out this evil, reporting this evil to your Chief, build a community watch, protect each other, and when possible tampered with practicality, put fist to bone.
We can only stop in this great competition against the Great Enemy when the stones of our people are unmolested by the marks of his despotism. We must remember the screams of our fathers and mothers, and bring every blow down with the intent to avenge their suffering. Come forth from your homes, those of you who wish to be as brave as Naki-Uthai step away from your warm fires of comfort and into the unending blizzard.
 
Rivers of shame, the echoes of chains, long have we suffered this hunger, longer have we tried to carry the pain and keep it contained, but soon this winter of woe will come to end siblings, but it is up to us to see this destiny to completion. We have not been given one inch by the great evils around us, so we must do what we do best and break this evil with our ever enduring strength.
 
Through this crusade I offer repentance. Even the fallen can be redeemed, build a stone upon a stone and reclaim our dignity as a people. There is no sin too great that it cannot be forgiven through deeds, it merely that great sins require great deeds of virtue. Bodies break, virtue endures.

With Devotion to our Ram Lord,
The Elf-kin Alleevas
