People of the Greatwood,
I am sad to announce that I will be stepping down as your leader, effective immediately.
For some time now I've struggled to reconcile the demands of my conscience with those of my position. I believed that my purpose was to keep the Greatwood safe through an unwanted war -- that, no matter how much I disagreed with the war itself, I could lead our people through it by focusing on our defenses and not on striking out against the enemy.
However, I can no longer count myself as a follower of the Old Gods as they call for the destruction of an entire race of people based only upon their choice of god. The Ascended have harmed us, yes, and I still support the idea of bringing the specific individuals who made that attack to justice -- but to eliminate the Ascended as a whole is not justice, and I cannot be party to it.
Our supposed allies in Stormbreak have used our home as a staging ground for murderous attacks on our neighbors. They would draft us into a war created solely by their hatred and prejudice. If I cannot resist their efforts -- and I have tried -- then the least I can do is refuse to have my name appended to them.
I will leave Sidhe Village shortly and move to the Wilds. Whether you agree with me or not, I would ask that you do not look for me.
Take care.
