Vermiculus had had enough. The treachery, the half truths of other nations. It ends. He gathered his advisors and spoke to them each in turn. They were all agreed. He had a letter drafted that would be sent to all nations.
To all nobles of the land.
For years, Tar Sequinus has suffered at the hands of others. Our husbands, our wives, our sons and daughter and our mothers and fathers have all paid the ultimate price. We have fought and died for every cause imaginable, including our own survival. And now, we fight again not just for our survival, but the survival of all humanity. The Shadow Army marches once again, and I fear for my children. The last time they marched, my people were nearly crushed into extinction. So that is why I beg all of you to cease your hostilities with one another, at least until this new threat is dealt with once and for all.
That is why I ask everyone to join me in my capital, so that all those who are warring can make peace, so that our children and our children's children, never have to worry about this evil ever again. We stand at a crossroads, we can continue warring with ourselves, and allow this evil to claim what's left. Or, we can stand united, and ensure that our race survives. All I ask, is for your time. Please consider the alternative.
Signed Lord Lucius of House Vermiculus.
