* A corrupt guard hand delivers a short note to Neradnal. The note is penned with a precise script, in blood red ink. *
Many young and inexperienced leaders make the mistake of thinking they can do everything themselves, but they--and now you--must come to learn that true power and leadership comes in directing and understanding the strengths of those who serve. You have the charisma and strength to lead and inspire loyalty, my dread son, but acts of lunacy like attacking the encampment and failing--all but singlehandedly, no less--do not serve to further His goals. In addition, such overt chaos is not our way.
Tell me: what good are you to me confined, or dead?
Tell me: how can you be my general if no one follows you?
You have failed me twice. I will leave you in shackles for a time to consider this. If I decide to liberate you I fully expect you will have learned to appreciate careful and covert action, and the value of loyalty and numbers.
