((fyi breen is pretty much precluded from using the herald at this point, so nobody aside from geigne knows of the announcement IG))

*the following letter is addressed to Geigne. it is sealed with a spider seal. The handwriting is jerky*

Councilor:

The time has come for you to prepare to exodus Sanctuary. The druid curse shall be inflicted on the city. Take any loved ones and any friends you care about and leave for Fort Mur. Do not return until our work is complete. I have included an announcement I wish for you to give to the people of Sanctuary read at your podium.

Attention citizens of sanctuary. This message comes to you as a warning. For some time now, the balance of nature has been dislocated. The city in which you live is largely responsible for this. We have worked hard at creating a means to correct this discrepancy. Yet, predictably, closed minds from the corners of the Ordered Mind to the demonic machines of the Spellguard have fought scientific evolutionary process. Your instinct is your true enemy. It is inseperable from superstition, your natural response to the unknown. Instinct is inextricably bound to unreasonable impulses, and soon we shall demonstrate its true nature. Your instinct, guided by your unbalanced nature, will become self aware of its own irrelevance. Your watch, your spellguard, your seekers, and your paladins will march into their own graves. We will devour them whole. The caverns and caves of the underdark will reek of a foul and odorous stench created by piles of rotting corpses.

You should not guage this as an attack on yourselves. You have misguided leaders, men and women blinded by their own simple offbased humanity, unable to accept evolutionary facts and principles. Mandarin Dreagle was your best hope to leave. We want you to leave. It is not our desire to consume you, only to restore the balance that belongs. We would just assume have you march out of the underdark permanently, and let the rothe reclaim the land where this blight now stands. Your leaders did not let that happen, and Dreagle lay dead.

We advise all of you to leave for Fort Mur, or the Blue Mushroom, or even the Pyrimo Inn, to live as refugees for a short time. Sanctuary will be razed, and you will return to its proper setting. At that time, biological recombination will occur, and we will see to it you are better suited to the Underdark. You will come to accept this new reality, new species, new lives. You have no choice, unless you choose to find your own way out of the underdark. Bressley is an outlier.

We will come soon, you have been warned.

Syndrome.
