[i]Condemnation of the Dishonorable Peace with Windbeach[/i]
[b]Elder Chief Werdyun Aseltir Baldug of Baldugtagee (134 - 253)[/b]
[quote=High Priest Goldendew Heithwerd, 224]
Goldendew Heithwerd, your brother in the path of virtue, sends greetings to those truly earnest among the hunters of the realm. I ask you, upon which do the cardinal spirits bestow their favor: those that abandon the hunt, or those that pursue the dragons even unto death? Our late elder chief Aseltir Quericon Baldug was a true hunter. He sacrificed his children, his bountiful harvests, and even his own health in his pursuit. He witnessed his loyal servants being taken for their flesh meat, drowned in wine, and made into delicacies by the depravities of those who claimed to be righteous liberators. Blessed was Aseltir Quericon! The valorous four have awarded his sacrifices with a righteous furor among our warriors, yet our new elder chief Werdyun Aseltir Baldug has abandoned his prey. He says we have sacrificed so much that victory is impossible, when those with righteous thoughts all agree that we have sacrificed so much that victory is assured. Instead of slitting the dragon's throat when it is wounded, he has called off the hunt and left our rightful lands to the savage hunger of the wyrm.

Virtuous hunters, do not call off the pursuit! Do not disregard the sacrifices of your brothers. Do not reject the blessings of the dragon slayers. The church's duty is to see the hunt carried to its conclusion, and with our example we will grant the new elder chief the courage to cut off Galimbor's horn.

Brothers, our limited time requires us to strike only at the most sensitive target. The dragons among us who beguile our elder chief with their false counsel must be brought to justice. If their words are not discredited, and the treaty is confirmed, then we may forever lose the opportunity to free our shoreward lands from the terror of the neighboring dragon. Know that if the great beast is given pause to lick its wounds, it will bring its brood mates from Aedria and the steppes with it. If so, then blessed will our children be, for the sacrifices they will make shall put our generation to shame.

I bless all virtuous hunters of the faith the courage to bring their valorous thoughts to action, and await the day when I may yet again call forth the power of the dragonslayers to bless our warriors in the field.
