In these depths there is little strength when men are divided.
My desires are not Unity under one man; Hardly. But rather ensuring that all willing men are cooperating towards a common end, Sanctuary. The Seekers scouting and raiding Slavers with the aid of brave men and women, the Seekers reporting Findings to the Society, Spellguard, Watch and Tigereyes so that they may make use of this information.
End the petty rivalry which has done so much harm in the past.
In truth, not every man will wish Unity and will feel a desire to remain seperated from the masses; This is a decision that will be respected. All men willing to Unite may do so, and we will keep the offer out to any others whom decide to maintain their distance while still giving them the protection and strength that results from our Unity.
Unity is something the Drow, Beholders and Illithid lack and that is why they have been subjected to these depths for so long and why they do not conquer -every- hold and every cave.
Think of the surface, friends, the goodly folk of Faerun spread far and wide over the plains, forests and mountains because of unity against their greater foes. We shall mirror that effort here.
Unlike Dreagle, I do not avoid the problems that are present and obvious. It is a reasonable idea to extend our borders, but how? We haven't the men, he proposes no way to bring more into the Watch or Tigereyes. He simply presents his ultimate desires; To Challenge the Drow, Illithid and Beholder in their own domain. A Selfish and Suicidal desire as we are now.
Without Unity and Cooperation such plans would simply fall apart before they're even put into motion.
Let us work towards cooperation and unity amongst ourselves before we bite off more than we can chew. After we attain Unity we can then focus on strengthening our borders and then extending them. Men will pour into the Defense organisations of Sanctuary through my plans to teach new arrivals in Sanctuary various skills which -will- be of use towards these ends.
Ultimately, through my aims; We will attain a strong interior and exterior. Extended borders to give us quicker knowledge of danger. More men to see to the well being of our women and children. Seekers to patrol the depths, rescue those from bondage, and seek escape for those whom wish it. Prosperity, Community, Freedom.
Sincerely,
Ivandur Reynolt
