The Magnaura

[Warmaster Horus]

I will not give Scopia back. The support I now see, as well as the thinking I have done made me change my mind. Mostly, it's the fact that you have been punished Tagaris. If I were to give you your land back, then that punishment will have been nothing.
You have kept Alexandria. You can have your House back. Add Scopia to that, and you're basically going free. I cannot accept that.
You have been expulsed of House Korakas. You have agreed to that expulsion. Expulsion includes your vassals and your lord breaking the oaths of fealty related to you. This is what I am doing.
You don't have a choice. You will be a law-breaker to the laws you made yourself, If you refuse this. Then I will hunt you down. I will not do that now, while the Empire is still troubled. But our paths will cross one day. And then...

Nikolaos, I hope all of us here would do the same. Tagaris is bound to serve the Empire, and that service includes protecting its cities and citizens. That argument is out.
