News From Zora

[Tidings]

Homins, I bring you tidings from the Zorai people. Opressed by the ominous words, the Grand Sage Mabreka Cho has communed with Ma-Duk and passed on his words to the herald Giao Fo-Chen.

His words ,presented for meditation last night at the Daisha estate in the presence of Bai Ji-mao and the honourable Chan Ji-Cian, were as follows:

"Open your hearts and minds to the words of our respected Grand Sage,
Matini Bremmen Kalus Cheng-Lo, bearer of the Great Mask of Ma-Duk and
healer of the jungle.

'Faithful followers, Ma-Duk has appeared to me. He has shown me the
future, our future. A war without mercy, a war desired by Jena and her
followers.'

This shall be a long war, many homin shall fall in battle. The Karavan
shall accuse us of a great many things but it shall do so in vain. This
war shall bring the triumph of Ma-Duk, Jena and her followers shall be
cast out into the void, Atys shall then be free from the stain of the
Karavan and the evil of the Night Empress.

>From that moment, together, we shall be free to commune with Ma-Duk. A
new era shall begin, an unending time where we shall be one with Ma-Duk,
an era of unity, serenity and harmony.

Before eternal peace we shall have to live through a time of suffering,
war and loss. Unit around Ma-Duk, fight for freedom together, as one.
Let us rid Atys of Jena and her followers.

Faithful homin, have pity for those tricked by lies, they are not our
true enemy.

Many tasks await us to prepare for this war. The Kami, speakers of
Ma-Duk, shall guide us along this path. Now, enjoy these remaining
peaceful days to meditate and purify yourselves. Be wary of Jena's
servants and do not trust Tryton.'

Homins, heed my words!
Medidate upon these words of the Grand Sage, Matini Bremmen Kalus
Cheng-Lo, bearer of the Great Mask of Ma-Duk and hope of the Kami.

Praise be to Ma-Duk."

That I have done, I still don't understand why the most esteemed sage Mabreka want us to slay other homins.
Surely the Zorais should at least take a defensive position, and work towards peace?

Maybe it is time to look for a new safe haven on Atys...

Mabreka does not want to slay homins. He is stating that there will be a war, brought on by Jenna and her followers. This much is true. Jenna (according to all indications, including Karavan statement) is returning to Atys to destroy Ma-Duk due to a percieved threat to homins (in Jena's view). Mabreka is merely stating that this is an inevitability that must be prepared for, else Ma-Duk followers will be obliterated if they stand in the way, and/or Ma-Duk will be destroyed.

Indeed, but still Ma-duk wants to cast Jena and her followers into the void.
One can hope that is the karavan followers and not homins.

One thing is sure, turmoil is ahead.

Yes, I also thought at first that this meant Mabreka wanted to rid Atys of all homin following Jena. I was in fact rather disappointed that Mabreka, the same who offered king Yrkanis asylum in Zora, the same who carries the Matisian name Matini, would now want to rid Atys of the Matis, and perhaps of the Tryker too.

But then came this part:

By "those tricked by lies" he obviously means the homins who follow Jena. So the part about "Jena and her followers" must be referring to the Karavan.

After hearing from the Tryker Govenor about the upcoming events, it seems we thrive to be neutral in this matter and not seek war. So as long as the Matis dont invade us and Jena lands in the forests, the Lake Lands are the safest place to be at the moment.

Well, safe if you forget about Bounty Beaches and Loria and Enchanted Isle. Safe from war, I mean....

Please don't allow yourself the folly of believing you are safe from Ma-Duk and his followers in the lakelands. Are the Tryker intending to aid the Kami by not assisting the Karavan as needed ? Serving Jena will bring us all rewards...

Ah, spoken like a true fanatic... If a broken, weakened land strewn with the blood and bone of former friends is Jena idea of rewards...She can keep them. The Tryker lands shall remain a refuge from religious bigotry and racial hatreds. All those seeking peace and to remain vigilant against our true foes the Kitin are welcome. We shall remain the voice of reason as long as we can, but should this insanity knock on our door...know that we shall be prepared to answer it!
