"The problem is that this attack goes beyond just my race. We Vampyres are going to suffer after this attack, there's little doubt of it, but that's not the end of it. Daeyalt, a unique ore found only under Morytania, was a critical part of Alexia's process. Now, with that technology smashed to pieces, we can't justify keeping the Daeyalt mines open any longer. It could take months, years even to rebuild what we once had.

And the miners? They were paid well, food and water enough for their whole families by them alone working a job. We're talking hundreds of people who have to go home to their families and tell them there'll be no food on the table. Tonight, tomorrow....or ever. This event's a tragedy for everyone involved. "

"Such behavior is....regressive. Morytania's made such leaps and bounds in the past years. Non-mandatory tithes, improved lawful watch over the whole country, protection for the smaller settlements trying to get to their feet. People might've been upset about the controversial weapon laws, but terrorists like these justify it by far.

It disgusts me to think that 'The Myreque', a name once uttered with praise, must now be said in such a bitter manner, knowing that short-sighted, genocidal maniacs are now part of the group."

"I've seen this land for a long time. I've helped it grow, develop, flourish even. In a mere three years, we achieved what Drakan could not - harmony between humans and Vampyre. I know, the weapon laws have been unpleasant, but with groups like this, they're justified.

I've enjoyed watching Morytania grow into a fine nation, a damned fine one. Even though The Myreque....the REAL Myreque....watch over Morytania, along with Vanesculea Drakan, I like to think it's Vampyres like me who do the leg-work, making our leaders' dreams reality.

That's why my statement is all the more painful to make. In light of the resent terrorist attack, until a stable source of blood has been developed, mandatory tithing will begin . It's not the news you want to hear, and it's not the news I want to tell you. But we have to look towards the future. The dregs of blood we have left will barely last a few weeks, and if we focus on the here-and-now like these criminals who strike at us, we'll soon find ourselves in much, much murkier waters.

And now, I address you directly. 'Myreque', who taint the name of a heroic group. Why? Who are you fighting for? Yourselves, or humanity? The people in Meiyerditch, THEY are the ones who will suffer from your actions. THEY are the ones starving as we speak because YOU put them out of a job.

So, if not humans, who do you fight for? Saradomin? One of Saradomin's graced Icyene helps to rule over this land, keeping an eye upon it from above. A queen, no less.

The only people you fight for are yourselves. Maybe you've had quarrels with Vampyres before. And somehow, you feel that justifies hunting down and killing an entire race. It. Doesn't. Nomatter what hardships you've faced so far, they will be nothing compared to the agony you will put the Vampyres and the humans of this land in if you continue your actions. Morytania has grown into a brittle nation, and you threaten to shake it apart entirely. For the sake of the people of Meiyerditch, for the sake of the honest-working Vyrewatch, for the sake of those in Darkmeyer who survey everything and make all the hard choices - I ask you, end this madness."
