Rumeo,
Something went wrong. They tested the Oracle of War in the field and, initially, it performed admirably. The 15th Brelish Lancers were wiped out almost to a man by our allies, who utilised the device to learn their enemy's weaknesses and drive them into the mud. Pincer movement, I'm told. Augurine would have been proud. They even reported that feeding the machine data by parchment was preferable to talking to it, as the din of battle can make it difficult to be heard.
The problem came on the second test. It's difficult to explain - we need to talk in private. When you receive the Oracle, contact me. Delay your orders if possible. If they find out something is wrong with the device, they'll activate the Third Protocol and we'll all pay with our necks. The Twelve don't mess around, and we don't want Thuranni knocking on our doors.
Speak soon,
Gorth
