There is no greater mission in our time than to methodicize and empiricize our own existences.At the time of this writing, the world is little more than a morass of warring ethnicities, tribes, and nation-states. The Emperor and his Legion, hard-pressed to differentiate between their mouths and a rotting beehive, concern themselves mostly with a vacillating desire to conquer the slightly whiter or darker people on the other side of the mountains by Xolumir.

I will voice the thought that we may need to render him incapable of further action.
This is likely the most aggressive plan pursued by the Society in centuries. But I can not find one among our ranks who disagrees with the notion that it is time for Aquilans to deal with Aquilan problems.
