"I was certainly at Dragonrage Pass. And what I know was that neither side had any idea what was going on. Utter chaos. Both sides so quick to go at each others necks that they'd made the flimsiest reasons to justify it. It's no more likely the Ortusians any more than it was the Archanea." Danica said confidently. She's seen false flag operations before, and while she's certain there was some conspiracy going on, skipping the investigation to go right into the execution was just the sort of panicking knee-jerk reaction any political manipulator wanted. Danica turned to the common soldiers who seemed like they were merely following along with the loudest mouth among them. Perhaps if they could think for themselves they'll relize the mess they're about to get themselves into. "And honestly, do you all really want to start picking fights with foreign nations now? I understand the need to look strong, but this sort of mob mentality thing just makes you look weak. Clinging to someone who makes the most noise without thinking for yourselves, that makes it no better than sheep. And I know you're all better then that." [@PaulHaynek]
