    • It is certainly unfortunate that you couldn’t find a solution to this problem. Everything seems peaceful and good from our current location, but if Uria’s minions win the war and take over the continent, it will be a matter of time until they come back to claim this island.

    • We aren’t the only group that has stood up against her rule, but we are one of the few that has survived to this day.

      • 8680: Re "that" -> "who": no, "that" is correct.
      • 8680: RFC: In "stood up against her rule", I think either "up" or "rule" should be dropped.

    • I would like to keep our pact as a secret between us. Even if the Grand Council understood, there seems to be a fair chance it could fall and provide Uria’s henchmen with information about our plans. Nobody should tell anyone else about this.

    • Their base of operations is said to be located in Telchior’s Hold in the Valley of Elynia — the very place whence we fled under Galas’ command following the Chaos invasion. Something really wrong must have occurred in there after our departure. As I recall, the last time we met you mentioned that Lord Lédinor was infested by Uria.

<vultraz> "darkness might claim our homes" -> 'darkness may'? "hope shines as a beacon which can help us vanquish" -> 'beacon to help'?

<vultraz> just notivced this after le tag
<_8680_> vultraz: Context?

<_8680_> "might" -> "may", yes.
<_8680_> "which can" -> "to"... I don't like it, shadowm may, I don't know.
<_8680_> "underneath" -> "beneath" (better flow)
<_8680_> Or "underneath" -> "under".
<_8680_> "Though at the end of the day darkness may claim our homes and lives and trap the world beneath its impenetrable veil, the night is not eternal, and even amidst chaos, hope shines forth as a beacon which can help us vanquish our worst fears and reunite us with our destiny."
