Il vaut mieux avoir une méthode mauvaise plutôt que de n'en avoir aucune.
One siege wiser, our lives intact; circumstances could be worse. We know that our heretofore mysterious adversary, Morbrand, is a lich on account of him being Jane’s previous incarnation. Just a week ago he and a vast undead army stepped out from the shadows and laid open siege to an Ahldurian gate settlement, and she believes the correct course of action is to sit on this information? To do nothing? Refuse to take any proactive measures against a foe that already has us three leagues behind? Notwithstanding the personal connection, divulging that a lich is on the loose is a matter of life and death – giving townships and local commanders this crucial piece of information would allow them to drill their troops, revise procurement standards, reinforce existing supply lines: the list is long! Not to mention, apophatically, that the light of knowledge dispels the dangerous reconditeness of uncertainty. The nature of the threat, an actual lich, will encourage joint action and cross-cultural cooperation. We are not the only ones with a real, tangible interest to be rid of this unholy creature. As the new tombstones from Dur’Khazun can attest.
That is cause enough. Acta non reactiones.
