| Message | The Immortal Zhelzo Immeressen tells us this looks a lot like the shadows of Likatonian history - the Eve of War before the expansionist militarism of the Greater Likatonia movement. For the first time, this party is in a crisis of faith. We know that the Immortal Zhelezo Immeressen is infallible... but we find ourselves desperately hoping He's wrong, this one time. |
