Divide and Conquer

We have new problem, a serious one. Having found out that Gipat Orcs are not ghosts, the Empire will attempt to ally with them, and we can't let it happen.

Go to Shaman of Orcs and tell him how immoral, deceitful, and greedy the Empire is. On second thought... These words may seem tempting for the wild orcs given their wild nature. It might be wiser to point out the advantages of the Imperials to turn off those wild savages.

Tell Orcs about the Empire's discipline, strict subordination, compulsory duty service, and readiness of every citizen to self-sacrifice.

Sometimes the League lacks such commitment. Oh, Eternal Light, I hope I won't fall into heresy...

I calmed down and understood that I was wrong.

We don't need Imperial totalitarian enforcement mechanisms to make people a sense of responsibility for their homeland. But still... Hurry. If we do not talk the Orcs out from allying with the Empire, the very Truce of Gipat may be in jeopardy!

"The League and the Empire will die soon"? That's what the shaman said? Oh, Tensess... Of course I'm glad there is no need to scare off their alliance, but these words...

What if it is not just foolish pagan chatter? What if these "Masters" unveiled them something that we are not able to see or understand yet? I never imagined such an end.

I'm sorry but I need time to cleanse myself from sinful thoughts, so I can plan our next course of action. Hopefully there is still time left for actions...
