And there, my friend, you make the most fundamental of mistakes.

Just because we come from a city shrouded in darkness and steeped

in a history forged cold from the blood of it's enemies, there is

no surety that we are not as supportive, cooperative and efficient

as any other city.

Thakria has been strong before, and will be strong again, and this

strength cannot be achieved by 'simple' violence any longer. It is

the dawn of a new Dark Age that Thakria has entered, and a new breed

of Thakrian is slowly rising.

I would advise you take their measure carefully.
