It appears that some in Eden struggle to grasp basic concepts, so let me clarify. Let's examine the terms "Order and Chaos."

Order is structured, predictable, and adheres to rules. It is within order that people can find joy and peace in their lives. Chaos, in contrast, is violent, unpredictable, and messy. Those who embody chaos can be likened to the group of masked, armed men storming a town of only women and children at the time, disrupting their peaceful existence.

Alder was the first mortal to truly understand these concepts, achieving ascension and ushering in the era of the Nine Sentinels, one of whom is Dolus, the Sentinel of Deceit and Corruption.

It seems that the masked invaders, along with the supposedly “neutral” Cult of Mortius, have chosen to align themselves with Dolus. The groups known as the "Nachtbrüderschaft'' and the Cult of Mortius now appear to serve Silas van Leuveran.

One might wonder if Gottfried himself dispatched the Cult of Mortius towards his vulnerable infant son to quash rumors of his fatherhood. What an exemplary father he has proven to be.

The Cult of Mortius arrived armed with the Nachtbrüderschaft, and prepared to kill anyone in their path, yet they seem to have forgotten their true purpose: to protect the living from voidal beings and those who disrupt the natural order of life. How then, do they justify raising their swords against an unarmed woman?

I now address the so-called “Black Abbot'' and self-appointed Erzbishop who once wept at my words. You are a disgrace to the clergy and lack any sense of order. Instead of holding a ceremony to honor Vater's life and journey to Mortius, you speak of finding someone to fill his role. Have you abandoned your beliefs for a chance at power? It seems you seek the title of Vater for yourself under the guise of neutrality.

Chaos follows a woman who associates with those known to be voidal. Order is fighting the voidal beings that prey on the weak-minded and protecting the land. Zladimir follows the true path of Alderism, while those who follow the Kaiserin are no better than the voidals.

I have seen the headless bodies hanging outside the walls of Adelsburg. The Kaiserin craves death and takes it without hesitation. Is it so hard to believe she may be collaborating with those who thrive on death? If refusing to follow such a person makes me a traitor, then I gladly accept that title.

I, Taffeta Blossom, am a traitor.
I will not follow laws that disregard the lives of others and consort with death bringers.

To those who read this missive,

It seems I must address the ludicrous accusations and slander being spread by those who claim to follow a path of “order.” Let us examine the truth behind their words and actions.

I have been called worse than voidals, accused of aligning myself with forces of chaos and death. But let us not forget that I have served justice according to our laws. The headless bodies that hang outside the walls of Adelsburg are not trophies of chaos, but symbols of justice served to those who dared to disrupt the peace of our land.

Moreover, it is well known that the man is sheltering Hemomancers within his Keep. This fact has been witnessed by many, disallowing is to reach and arrest said filths.
Where is the law that protects Zladimir, who took the life of his own son? Where is Ake’s body? Or did he already sacrifice it to his Necromancer friends in favor of his little conquest? Zladimir, the self-proclaimed champion of order, hides behind a facade of righteousness while committing the most heinous acts. While being the rotten head of the snake who spews lies towards the wrong direction to cover his own faults.

I am accused of consorting with voidal beings and chaos bringers, yet it is Zladimir who aligns himself with deceit and corruption. His actions speak louder than his words, revealing a man desperate to maintain control through fear and manipulation. The man who would sacrifice /his own blood/ for power is not a leader of order, but a harbinger of chaos.

To Taffeta Blossom, who so proudly declares herself a traitor: Your words are nothing but a desperate attempt to justify your betrayal. You speak of protecting lives, yet you support a man who has no qualms about ending them for his gain. You claim to fight for order, yet you stand an oathbreaker with a murderer. You speak as if you have all the facts but I haven't seen you before my door to question me and figure out the truth.

I have hunted voidal beings all my life and brought justice to those who threaten our peace. My actions have been in the service of protecting the Empire and its people. The accusations against me are baseless and born out of fear and envy.

If refusing to bend the knee and surrender to Zladimir and his corrupt allies makes me an enemy in your eyes, then so be it. I will continue to fight for the truth and justice, no matter the cost. And the wall shall grow.

Both letters would be torn off for use as bog roll in one of the privies around Adelsburg, if someone cared to delve into one. Apparently they were both quite long enough to accomplish the task of ass-wiping.

(Haven’t had much Caldwell action, apologies lulz)
 
[!] A a small parchment was placed onto the board [!]

It seems that the traitor Zladimir is not the only one to have lost their mind and their way to Alder, you as a member of the Temple have turned your back on the Vater and attacked not only his Clergy but also the Kaiser who was chosen by Alder to rule over this Empire. It seems your personal relationship has clouded you in your ability to find fact from fiction which has led you astray just like that of Zladimir. I find it foolish that anyone would trust you to care for a child as you follow the man who killed his own child, someone who Alder has sent to him to love and care cast aside for what?

For those who claim to be against the influence of voidals and to end their reign, your actions have proved the opposite in effect. You have allowed voidals into lands and have even begun to help them surrounding yourself in them and calling them companions. Is it not you who has moved to lands infested by voidals as you protect others who have sullied the name of not only the Empire and its nobles but others in their lust for power.

*This notice would be pinned underneath*

I, Konrad von Drachenfels, Warden of the Nachtbrüderschaft, wish to address recent accusations and clarify our stance. Firstly, I apologize for any harm or fear caused to innocent citizens. The Nachtbrüderschaft exists to protect, not to threaten. If our actions have led to misunderstandings or undue fear, it was never our intent.

Now, to the one that has written this notice: You claim to stand for order against chaos, yet your support for Zladimir de Tiri suggests otherwise. Why, during this critical time when our lands are threatened by the Bone Lord, has Zladimir chosen to defect from the Empire? If his focus is truly on defeating this existential threat, why abandon the fight now, at such a crucial juncture? His defection not only weakens our collective defense but also endangers the people of Lünburg, leading them toward a certain doom with his rebellious and traitorous behavior.
The Kaiser, is the rightful ruler of Hadriana, including Lünburg. It is under his leadership that we must unite, not fracture. For the sake of Eden and the innocent lives within it, we should not be fighting amongst ourselves. Why, do you support Zladimir's path driven by personal ambition and power? Why sow discord when unity is our greatest strength against the voidal forces that threaten us all?

Let us not lose sight of our true enemy. The Kaiserin, the Kaiser, and the Empire stand against the voidal beings that prey on the weak and disrupt the natural order of life. It is our duty to protect and uphold this order, not to tear it down from within.

A reply by Zladimir would be found near all those already present.

It seems that the Empire is working overtime to attempt to ruin my name with elongated words and claims. Let me explain the reality of the situation.

First of all. How dare you claim I killed Ake out of sheer bloodlust. I do understand you, Veredra. You lack the emotional attachment of a parent,a mother considering Wilhelm and Karls are not your spawn, as you are merely a caretaker of the true kaiserin's children. Hemomancers in my keep? Did you not forget who exposed the Rovelt's hiding spot? You claimed you would raid such when the timing is right, but yet no word of such came to my ear. Ake was killed by my hands, this is true. To prevent him falling into the hands of Daemon, as the Necromancer threatened to turn him into his soldier whilst holding a blade at the child's throat. The corpse of my son is buried in a location which I shall not share publically, as only Alder knows what you'd try to do with such information. You hunted voidal beings, this is something nobody can deny. But the beings you hunted, were specific. You did not hunt them because of what they were, you hunted them because they went against the plans your master has.


To Konrad,

It seems you are desperate for a reply from myself, so I shall grant you your wish. I never abandoned the Empire. All I did was in the name of the Empire's safety. The Bonelord threat is still very present, and if you decide to read my past missives, you would see I have kept my pledge to fight the fiend of the swamp. I never abandoned Flussland, as I am still here preparing for the threats of the dead. It is you and your guild which harass my people, forcing them to worry about an attack from the same people who claim to be against the voidal threat. You harass the same people who fought by my side when we pushed the Bonelord back, whilst you? You were non existant at the time. The Kaiserin had no use for you, so you were null. Remember that. In the end, nobody is barred from aiding against the Bonelord. I hold no hostility towards those who really wish for resistance against the undead, yourself included. It only requires you have a moment of clarity and realise that my conflict with the Kaiserin, does not reflect on my efforts against the Bonelord.

Zladimir de Tiri
 
Janne scanned over all the notices holding the hands of her children, her brows furrowed as she read through the words "So that is what happened to Ake.." she muttered under her breath before picking up the twins "He should've-" she paused shaking her head "I better not involve myself." she moved away from the board going about her day
 
Ake was killed by my hands, this is true. To prevent him falling into the hands of Daemon, as the Necromancer threatened to turn him into his soldier whilst holding a blade at the child's throat.
[One more notice could be found upon the Lunburg noticeboard, pinned loosely beneath the others in the dead of night. The pungent reek of aged blood would catch any passerby's attention before they'd even have a chance to read the words upon it, but one thing was clear -- a great deal of emotion could be seen in the messy writing. This had been made with haste and anger.]

Unforgivable.

I need not know you, nor your son, but the act of harming a child cannot be ignored. Murder of one? Even less so.

Both of your sides can preach that all Void mages are some evil menace that must be slaughtered, but those who would bring harm upon a child are no better than the demons you claim to fight.

Both the Necromancer known as Daemon, and the Ruler of the Principality of Volgrad, Zladimir di Tiri, will not be forgiven. The blood of an innocent child stains your very souls, and for that, the only fate that awaits either of you is an untimely end.

[!] Woah! Another note hung on the noticeboard. It had an overwhelming, metallic scent, making all efforts to track or identify the writer useless. [!]

"Come on!
We all know you are a voidal too, Ryker. Don't play innocent in this whole deal.
You had to take the lives of innocent people at one point,
want it or n-

[!] Right after this there seemed to be small fight for the pen, ending with a large splatter of blood and then a small, clean note can be found. The handwriting is far more elegant and completely different from the previous one. [!]

"Oh please, I was not the one who threw a spear in that child's face now, was I? dipshits."
