<i>The royal flag of the Goshaka family flying over Mantayal Palace.</i>
<b>A Message to the Citizens of the City of Pradita from Your Living Autumn Mother Nanpia IV</b>
<i>20 Roo''Asha, i1195</i>
<i>To the People of the Great City of Pradita,</i>
The Goshaka family is aware of the actions of the Shroud of Freedom and their attempt to disrupt the harmony of our great city. A city that has been at peace for generations. For a millennium, they have been like a fly to us, hovering over our meals and buzzing disloyalty and lies into the ears of our citizens.
Be assured that is all they are. Insects. And I shall deal with them.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Our streets will be safe.
We will have LAW and ORDER.
On behalf of the Empire, and as the woman who has pledged her life to protect and guide the citizens of our great city, the “Jewel of Mankara,” I pledge to root out these terrorists. Pradita will be rid of them once and for all. As you are reading this, noble, loyal members of the Pradita Defense League, have entered the Valakarma, and they are going block by block, rooting these criminals.
Until they are exterminated, you are to ignore their propaganda. The documents they are distributing in this “Liberated Archive” are little more than spurious narratives designed to spread distrust and fear of the institutions that are here to protect and defend you from the very real threats that endanger the people of our great culture - be they economic, philosophical, and physical. Do not fear them. Do not fear the empire. Do not distract the Eternal Library. Love them, for they are here for you. They are you.
Do not believe these lies.
Do not shelter or abet these terrorists.
Loyalty to your Mother will be rewarded.
Treachery to her will be punished.
These are my words. As such, so too are they yours.
