[!] The following letter comes with an additionally attached letter, a copy of something made long ago. [!]
To the respected, and honorable House Hjortsund, [USER=18934]@Iyyiushi[/USER]
An odd excuse that one utilizes the matter of 'orders' to justify their actions, when in-fact it is the likes of yourself who repeatedly ignore the Lothar Order's plight that they themselves follow orders. The orders of which are not only sanctioned by the Emperor, given that the Lothar Order is a recognized Knight-Order of the Regalian Empire, but also acknowledged by the Mother and God-Empress Ness herself to be within the Everwatcher's Great Way. You are hypocritical, utilizing the same rhetoric of those of who you hate so much. What an irony that the Lothar Order has recently introduced the Randbane Chapter, loyal Eilirik that have joined our greater cause. It must irritate you, nay, it must infuriate you that your rhetoric that the Lothar Order is beyond all evil and suffering is now rebuked by those of your very own religion.
Furthermore, as you can see from the attached letter, I in-fact /did/ respond to the Demonic Assaults of Regalia by declaring war on them. It was the Imperial Court however who argued that the opening of the Vaarda Gates was no threat to the Empire, and more so a matter of which are not even classified as evil. Thus, by your claims Lady-Protector, you go against the Imperial Court and in extention the Crown and the Imperial Apparatus that we so diligently work to uphold everyday. For all those who read, the statements of 'attacking one's own comrades', 'abuse of their Cursed Retained', and more are all accusations so easily made by those in Crookback, or self-proclaimed pseudo intellectual 'gaslighters' that only make the most wild claims to try and fool the commoner into thinking that they hold some semblance of truth. A bad, horrible look for a Noblewoman to make.
Once more, my point stands- House Mekrov stands by their convinctions, and no matter what is said against us, we will always stand our ground. I henceforth extend the same offer I have extended to House Gwentyr; an honorable duel, or a selected Champion of our choosing to represent our Houses. Let us settle this the honorable way, the way of Knighthood.
Count Riftan Mekrov
Lord-Protector, Purger-Knight of the Lothar Order
Head of House Mekrov
