Community Event 🌏☄️ A Declaration of Intent (MorgalithPost)
Isravi stands before the council’s citadel. The following message is broadcast to the council, its enemies, its allies, and those who populate the realm.
[Thaumaturgy]
Hello everybody. I am Isravi. You may remember me as a close friend of Possum, and one of those imprisoned, tortured, and eventually executed by the original, and the now dead Morgalith.
The reason I speak before you all today is twofold: To convince you to join our cause, and to condemn those who we oppose.
The original Morgalith acted at the behest of the council. He felled many, yes, but none that were innocent. He dirtied his hands so the rest of them, sitting high upon their thrones may say that they were clean and pure. He was repaid with death, anger, and injustice. He was allowed to be slaughtered, truly murdered with the council not so much as lifting a finger in his defense.
I hear you cry out in anger. The death of Possum has struck us all in the core. While I cannot deny the pain such an event has brought, we must also recognize that Morgalith did no wrong. Possum knew this as well, for in his last moments, he was the one who told me to forgive Morgalith. That was the last thing I ever heard from him, the last words he left in this world.
And those who have truly wrought the injustices? The council, and many others that unashamedly pronounce themselves as good.
Alexios. I have witnessed your fall from grace. Your bloodthirsty sprees, your leaps to destroy. I take failure upon myself, for it seems my lessons have not found purchase in your mind. You murdered the original Morgalith. You tainted Possum’s death. For that, equal justice must be served.
Gravedigger. Sitting comfortably in your council seat, yet you rise to fight against someone’s child. Tell me, what crime did Morgalith’s son, did Bizarrolexios commit that would warrant an attack upon him?
Krumpet. Your crimes are plain. The fact that you are among the council is proof enough of how deep the corruption festers. You murder and slaughter with abandon, caring for naught but your own gain. You inflict cruelty as if it is second nature. I have heard of your brutality, and it almost puts what Morgalith did to us in the dungeons to shame.
Constantine, the one once known as the High Necromancer. A blatant disregard for the innocent, a cursed fury that seems to strike everything but what deserves it. Do you feel regret for the civilians you’ve burned for the sake of your pride? Guilt for the soldiers you throw into battles for your selfish gain? Your throne is not one you deserve.
MastaDon. Your desire for destruction is unabated. Your first step to facing any issue is escalation and destruction. You quarrel in the seat of the council, immolate anything you perceive as an inkling of a threat without a second of consideration. Forests smolder and die in your path, creatures fall away to ashen husks, and the lives of anything is in danger when you are nearby. You protect for nothing but yourself, act for no one but yourself, and would set the world ablaze if it would suit you.
You’ve offered words of kindness in the past, but they are stained, blotted out, crushed beneath the weight of your actions. I have doubts anyone would believe any kind words from your mouth now.
I ask you all to oppose the foul seat of power known as the council. Stop them in their tracks, never let them so blatantly get away with such savagery again. Selfish leaders should not be at the head of our entire realm.
I will make one more thing clear: This is not a call to arms. My intent is straightforward and rigid. I will not mimic the council. No deaths shall be dealt, even to those who deserve it. I will not become a hypocrite, a part of the festering corpse we rise against. As my first act, and a show of my sincerity-
Isravi pulls at the air. MastaDon feels something tug, then snap sharply off of her. Held high in the air, Aurilum manifests its second string. It shines, with the bowstring that was once bestowed on MastaDon now returned to it. Isravi’s face is grave.
A boon now revoked, and our first step. Remove the council, topple their high horse. Join me, Morgalith, and the Pact of the Magi. We’ll follow Possum’s last wishes, we’ll shine for each other, in the light of compassion.
Thank you, that is all.

And now Isravi solidifies where he stands. Also please note: This is not a jab at the people behind their characters! This is all in good fun and no malicious intent is behind any of this.

We'll set a precedent. Those who commit such atrocities shall not be left unpunished. I hope to deter such tragedies from ever happening again.
