Eva the Old

"From the very moment of our creation by the Mothering Spirit of the Highest One, loyalty is the only code we have ever known, and honour the only path. The Clan Mothers have since the dawning of history handed down the law to us, and the law is fidelity, integrity and constancy. Our strength and size has maintained the structure of the world for the Thousand years, for we are the living embodiments of Yavaun. We are Her protectors, and so we wear the trinkets and rudimentary jewellery we mine from her skin with pride, for they have become the signs of the glory of our accomplishments.

It is a time of strife and trouble, it is a time of Revolt. The Eaggra rebels must learn their place, for they are workers. They are the labourers and builders. It is their value. The place of the Eaggra has always been fixed in the natural order of things. So it is as we have always believed. Time has, however, weighed heavily upon us, as we wait for the day of unification. We find it had to justify the ruthless acts of aggression and injustice recently asked of us by the Tha' Roon. We have been told that our weakness is our slow minds and slow bodies. We know this to be our strength, for in time and with patient confidence and force, all things bend before Obblinox might. For as the old Yavaun proverb goes; "When Obblinox have finally put their minds to something, then even the very stars and moon make way.

We Matrons and Elders of the Clans, have recently begun to doubt what the Tha'Roon ask of us, and what we doubt is this-that the Obblinox are ordered to destroy Eaggra rebels without mercy. War without mercy is a task without honour. And we Obblinox are warriors, noble fighters with a long, illustrious history, trained and disciplined for the hardships of battle. Above all others, we are best suited and equipped for both open conflict and covert manoeuvres. The Eaggra fall too easily before us, and there can be no honour in the slaughter of innocents. Into what future our path leads us, and what code of honour we must follow, now seems uncertain. We must consider very carefully which course of action we take. Shall we continue to listen to the Tha'Roon without question? Can there be honour in hunting down every last Eaggra rebel? Or must we, to save our honour, turn against our age-old masters, the Tha' Roon, to whom we have made that pledge of honour? In the end, must Obblinox integrity finally use the tools and weapons of deceit to preserve the balance of the world?

And what of the Shama' Li, those mysterious outsiders? The Tha' Roon have labelled them as evil, tribal wizards who work to bring about the annihilation of the world. That we must battle them as well seems certain, for no matter the course we choose, they are certain to interfere. These are times of trial, when what is right and what is wrong are by no means certain, but what is certain is this: that action must be taken, and taken now. Only our confidence, strength and honour can keep the others from destroying the world"
