In the Angelic Council, behind the very perpendicular Pedestal of Law stood Lexus Dominiel. Lexus Dominiel began in a voice that resounded with the sound of synchronized marching, of automated systems, of industrial machines following their cyclical commands, though already standing, he seemed to become taller, larger as he prepared to speak, "The question, my brothers, is what purpose does the law of non-intervention serve? All of you know that I am certainly for the upholding of laws, however, as this is a law we made for ourselves, we have the choice to either uphold it or change it. So what purpose does this law serve, and does it continue to serve this purpose?

I think that this law was created to allow humans the ability to grow and strengthen themselves. If we had intervened in the past, they would have remained weak. Sometimes, it is defeat, loss, and pain, that creates growth. Since we decided to not intervene, the humans have faced defeat, loss and pain. But have they grown? have they grown stronger? Or have they shrunk back against the demonic hordes, hoping, but not striving? Do they merely wait for us to step in and save them? Has the non-intervention created for us a usable ally? Or perhaps, they have not suffered enough. Perhaps this is the turning point. With Cloryn's Keep threatened, they may believe we would not allow it to fall. If it fell, perhaps they will finally decide to stop relying on us and stand on their own. However, to risk the fall of the Keep is to risk the diminishing of our own power. If the humans grow, the risk may be worth it. If, however, this becomes the last, crippling blow to them, then we will have lost both the humans and the Keep.

My analysis is that the risk is too great. Non-intervention has not produced the desired result. The humans cannot be left to their own devices. They must be...regimented, controlled...bred...farmed...cultivated...controlled, refined; preserving desirable elements and removing undesirables. This is not only intervention that I am proposing, but involvement, interference...rule. Their independence and liberty does nothing to help us. I realize this may come as a drastic proposition, but I am, as ever, completely honest with you my brothers, and I ask that you seriously consider the potential benefits."
