Weep, Mother.
The Thorsrdyn of Evyn, Isathmæyr, aware of the ignorance that the Horselord possesses of the North and our customs, issues the following clarifications upon previous issued words. The title of Lawgiver (Thorsrdyn) is a hereditary throne passed down through the Imperial Line, from the founding by the Great Roech, down to his 20th successor, myself. By claiming the title, one argues that they are fit to rule by their relationship to the initiator- which he is clearly not, being a southernling. Furthermore, a Lawgiver is honor-bound by word- a declaration is binding. By signing peace with the Empire, and the prosecuting a vicious betrayal of that peace, Jahan has proven that his word is worthless. Even were he of the required royal blood, he is invalid to be Thorsrdyn due to his dishonesty.
In addition, the false Jahan proclaims himself a defender of the Ytauzi- yet he does not seem to realize that by ordering his horde- for that is what they truly are, a barbarian horde- he has wrecked devastation upon the community. With reckless abandonment, he and his horde burned the oirnaoss of Anyāis, scorched countless libraries, and slaughtered countless scholars during their siege of that city. Which is nothing to speak of the wreckage inflicted upon Asveydr, the other Learned City. He also seeks to paint the Lawgiver as intolerant, yet all that live within the Empire know that the Ytauzi are without restriction within the Empire. Furthermore, the minority religions are allowed – with tax- to operate within their strongholds, as has been the tradition for over hundreds of years.
The false Jahan seeks to sow discord where there is none to be found. All the quem of Evyn are honor bound in their loyalty to the Thorsrdyn. Perhaps it is a concept that Jahan is unaware of, as he is well known in his treacherous ways, but the quem of Evyn take their honor in detail. And perhaps Jahan is unaware that every qurœ of the Empire is ruled by a noble of their own people, as has been tradition for countless centuries. Perhaps Jahan is unaware that by asking the loyal lords of Evyn to betray their proper liege, Jahan insults that honor. There is much that the Horselord does not know.
But the Lawgiver of Evyn does not berate the false Jahan for his desperate attempts to secure some foothold in the North. Even as he begs for peace from the Righteous Moti in the south, he recognizes that his horde can not hold the North. His armies lie thin, in a vast land which they are ignorant about. All that his trickery and surprise have bought him lie in danger, as the true host of Evyn has yet been introduced to combat- has yet to even be called up. The Might of the North shall be brought against the false Pretender, and in the end there will be no sparing him from judgment.
