But we ignore that a cruel army offers one of the quickest roots to break an opponent’s army, or the uncertainty it causes our foes. Vigilance teaches to prepare for malice, to deter the blow so it never happens. We spit in the face of our traditions, ignore the wisdom of our Generals and the pride of our warriors who marched beneath the banners of the Dance of Blood. We proclaim Wisdom, yet ignore reality. We are losing this war. It matters not how we win against the Terror of the Druj or the eldritch horror of the vallorn, only that we do so. A sword is cruel in the ending of life, yet it is a tool to the virtuous.

It is not vigilant nor courageous to drop statements and run, leaving busy priests without context to be the ones to vote and potentially destabilise entire nations and ~~imperial~~ plans for the future. Courage does not mean impulse. Wait, think, decide. Revocation should be a final step, not a first port of call.
