To the supposed Honorable members of the Peerage,
I, for a time now, have chosen not to comment on the current warring parties and conflicts out of respect to my family and patriarch, however there is a repeated pattern in the current denouncements and proclamations that do not settle with me. For those of you nobles preaching of the importance of the War ongoing against the Kathar in the Elven Moors, attempting to use that conflict as a bland excuse as to why the Wars both in the North and the colonies should end, you are spineless, pathetic and utterly revolting to me. The only Houses that stand even close to being able to use that rhetoric are the ones who have actually contributed to the war effort with troops of their own. Get off your damned high horses and cease acting like prissy Ithanian ponces. Nobility have a right to war with one another, it is not just a right but also a privilege of our blueblooded status. So again, for those who continue to attempt enforce this facade of honor and peace, put down the pen and prove that you truly care for the Dread Empire Conflict and contribute, lest you dishonor yourselves and your Houses with further ignorance. As a final note, I commend the House of Brilonde, House Delmotte, House Ravenstad and any others who have contributed men to the true war, you are the true paragons of our status, not the white knight pretenders I keep seeing popping up all over the Willow noticeboard.
May the Spirit Guide,
William Howlester
Imperial Marshal
Lord Commander of the Violet Order
