There is a military coup happening in Thorne. Admiral Sidwell has made a play for the crown that seems to be succeeding. The Summoned are currently being evacuated into safe rooms along with natives.

I thought this information best to be shared with all Summoned.

[He doesn't plan on bringing up how the doors are warded shut. That's for other people to say. This is all about information sharing, Istredd has other things to worry about.]

I am a mage so I am obviously biased, I love magic, but it can be used for terrible destruction and violence.

I think that is exactly what he is doing. It has been speculated among us for awhile that Thorne disarray would give the Free Cities an advantage. He's a military man, he thought that through.

I think if that was a part of it, it was more that it came from cruelty rather than sense. She was angry so she punished them, there was no strategy in it.

To be fair to you, most things can be used for terrible violence if you're creative enough. It's only that I've never dealt with magic before now, and between this and the last month I'm growing rather weary.

Lovely, so now we've gone from a queen who enacts cruelty for no real reason to a king who's cruel because he has what he thinks is a very, very good reason. From where I'm standing, things have not improved a whit.

It can also save lives and change them for the better. Like everything, it depends on the way people use it.

Yes, that is probably the summary. It's hard to say which is more dangerous, or that they merely were two sides of the same coin. I think our days of peace may be behind us.
