VIDEO CALL ☏ TO EVERYONE
[ on september 18th, the following message is broadcast to all knights via the drakenet after the meeting is adjourned. there's no disguising the fire in their leader's eyes, the burning anger beneath his words, and more than anything, the determination underlying his message. ]
Many of you have been long familiar with the threat posed by the would be ruler of Andres Isle, Dimitris Sarandis. Nearly ten years ago, he conspired against the reigning family of the Isle, betrayed their trust and usurped the throne under the guise of his 'Parliament'. Since then, he has turned a country that once stood for peace and hope into a bed of fear, hatred, and despair. He has exploited the Shadowkind of the island to further his own dark experiments into enslaving those who he considers less than humans, conspired with the same cult responsible for the incident months past in New York, tortured two of our number, and since held Sir Bancroft prisoner.
Some of our Knights have returned from a diplomatic mission to Andres intended as a parley for Thomas' return. Dimitris has made his terms clear: in exchange for Sir Bancroft's life, he would have us abandon our attempts to set foot on the island and halt his machinations, under pain of death. As if this were not an impossible enough demand, he has compounded this insult by demanding my head.
Whatever chance he thought he once had of this offer being accepted ended when he decided to capture yet another of our Knights, Sir Samcelot, and subject her to an even more depraved brand of torment.
The situation on Andres has remained unresolved for far too long. We have never considered it our place to direct the current of any nation's governance, yet these are desperate times, which call for measures beyond the scope of our customary domain.
Tomorrow, we gather for a War Council. This is an open call to any and all available Knights, who are willing to stand against this great evil, and move upon Andres to unseat Sarandis once and for all. I will not disguise the danger inherent in this impending battle. Sarandis employs monstrous creatures of Shadow bent to his will, as well as controlling his human army. He's a deviously intelligent enemy infamous for his ruthlessness and prepared for an onslaught.
Yet, I have every faith in this Knighthood to overrun his forces, to free the people of Andres from tyranny, protect its citizens, and bring swift justice to those who have spat upon it.
Many of you remember our past Dragon's Claw, Sir Ellison, who vanished on Andres after Dimitris first took power. We fight for what was very likely done to him, for those of our number who Dimitris has personally tormented and exploited, and to reclaim our own who remain in his clutches.
We will not settle for defeat.
We will not cower before his threats.
Honor shall prevail.

thanks for the lesson. I had no idea that people died in war. so do you really want this to be us bickering? I mean, I have a long drive ahead of me, you could blow up my phone all you want with this or you could stop the negative nancy crap for a few hours and actually trust in yourself and hope that you will make it out of this alive.

[Which was like throwing half of the castle under the bus but for real. There were a lot of people Adam would rather not have his back.]
But while we're expressing our gratitude, thanks for he pep-talk. Sorry I like to be realistic about this type of thing.

I have been away a while, but I really doubt that the standards have been lowered any.
[SHE TOTALLY COULD HAVE MADE A DIG AT HIM... but she doesn't.]
Look, I wanted to come out there in a month and actually have the whole reunion thing and make it not like this. Not that I was going to bring you cookies or anything, but I at least wanted to just explain in person. I just figured you'd get pissed off and you're a lot easier to manage when you're just a ping on my phone.
