A Call to Action
Written by The Scion
Before I move on to my preface or even the main piece, a statement must be made regarding recent events on the continent. I am eternally saddened by the most recent attacks that have befallen Calemburg, and I wish healing upon all those affected. May those who were lost forever find sanctuary in the Everwatch.
Now, I would be remiss in my position not to regard any statements or public posts made to my previous critique as worthy of consideration. After all, it's not often that the representative of a corrupt mafia of landowners places a bounty on you, especially when you would normally not even warrant a greygate cell! It is curious afterall, that such a conservative as Dietrich von Drachenburg would waste so much effort on a conservative ailor like myself, just because I wrote a few words on a parchment and posted them in public places. Nonetheless, I appreciate and thank you for considering my writing important enough for such an honor. Moving forward with the remainder of the preface, I must first ensure that my words are not twisted. Regardless of any agreement with other pieces similar to mine, I did not write the Questions of Man. Whoever did so, is simply a reactionary looking to embark on the same intellectual quest as I am now, and I applaud the writer.
The last part of the preface includes those who I have decided to leave out from any criticism, those being the members of the Typhonus family. It would be a crime to pile onto a family that has suffered such a great tragedy in their lands. May the Spirit guide them through these horrific events.
Finally, we move onto the crux of this piece, which is both a response to the brief and poorly thought out statements of the mafia's representative, and also a call to action. I will begin with the statement made by this representative, that I cannot criticize the feudal system of land division because it has established what he coined as the modern era. It is definitely understandable that the mafia has such a misunderstanding of my arguments, that they would make such an outrageous assumption of me. I would not dare say to uproot the institution of nobility, for that would present a new facet of naivety for my critics to exploit. The keyword I will display is featured at the end of my critique, that being the term "replaced". My goal is to replace the unloyal rats that currently have usurped their power from good conservative ailor, with those who have shown great margins of respect for such power.
With any good reformist push, it is important to detail exactly how the replacement would occur, so I will lay out a case. The case first involves the Emperor's crackdown on the nobility, usually utilizing guard forces to excise any aberrant or void affiliated entities from the disloyal families. For an easy example, the Howlesters and their disgusting practice of recruiting sewer rats to their courts. The next steps involve the complete abolition of noble privilege, which has long been used to protect corrupt figures from the confines of a Krakenburg cell. Nobles that have abused privileges to get out of punishment will be dragged out of their estates in chains, no longer able to weasel their way out of charges that others in the commoner class have been executed for. Once the appropriate arrests are made, a new judiciary is established to begin the complete and total overhaul of noble landed rights. Families who were targeted for corruption will be revoked of their ancestral lands, and given to new families that have shown devotion to the Emperor, or current ones free of any committed crimes.
The question arises then of whether this solution is feasible, and whether the Emperor would even consider such a proposition. No he will not is the simple answer to this equation. Why that may be the case will be covered in later works or treatises, but the solution to noble corruption will never come from the top echelon of the Regalian hierarchy. The truth is that these solutions must be from the bottom, and I will be very specific in laying out who must make up this group. The group must be led by ailor, as no organization led by non ailor will ever make strides in replacing the corrupt noble class. It must be free of aberrancy and true to mundane assets. It must be led by idealists and warriors alike, as to prevent what occurred in the Rose movement or the Red Berets, who I will critique in later works. It must not be opposed to the idea of violent revolt, as in this great struggle the corrupt mafiosos will attempt to sure up their own power against this fair movement.
I will close with a simple foreword. Many of you do not know me at all, as in my anonymity I have not decided to come out to the public yet. Let not my identity distract you from the words in my message. Let the words in my message resonate and create a strong coalition of those looking to achieve the same future I am. Whether you are conservative, liberal, or somewhere in between, we must cleanse the nobility and replace them.
This is a call to arms, a call for all those willing. Reclaim our lost civilization.
Thank you, and spirit guide.
