Intergalactic Summit

Your Majesty,

Firstly i would like to personally congratulate you on your ascension to the throne. I would also like to mention i attended your coronation ceremony. Sitting in my Shiniest of ships buzzing around the outside of the mob in attendance; i felt nothing but pride in the display of the lands and teachings that gave me my life today, but also a bit of sadness not for myself but a great man that these lands will soon lose. I was thoroughly impressed by the presence of dignitaries from other nations. Most notably of which Maleatu Shakor. The thought that he would be in attendance would have struck me as absurd less i saw it with my own eyes. To think any Sanmatar would come to any royal event ... well i think almost nobody saw that coming. Nor did i expect the bombing attempt or all the negativity based solely on your heritage. I suppose i shouldn't be so surprised, but my mind is not so narrow to think only certain people where created by God, nor would i think a specific creed is all that matters.

Your words are what took the day in my mind however. Some lines in particular :
* "Today, I step forward to lead the people of Amarr into a new era. An era of prosperity, an era of growth. An era of change, and progress." *
* "A path that takes us on a journey paved with prosperity for loyal of the faith." *
*"To support this growth, our administration will work to make the Imperial economy a powerhouse of activity, with new foreign policy and trade legislation that opens up our markets to the cluster like never before."*

Ordinarily i might push this off as typical rhetoric of someone in power, cheeky to be in their new station. I however am not of the short minded type. I recall past positions and opinions. Yours in particular have made me all the more curious with the Sanmatar's appearance. I wish to bring to light the memory my mind holds World news article 8-20-2013. During the succession trials i believe most to of thought of you as one of the more moderate potentials, a view i did not share; In fact i down right laughed. To think that a woman who cares more about her pockets than her message to be thought of anything other than hungry... well that is quite a joke. Now after this days events I'm at a bit of an impasse with myself. I'm not sure weather you have fooled the Sanmatar in some way, or if you have somehow deceived even yourself. Or maybe Maleatu Shakor is in on this, In one way or another himself. In any way it takes place i know whats coming. I mean to say i know some sort of Reclaiming is on your to-do list.

In my letter to Rehniz Zateki and subsequently to Lord Yonis i had outlined that i had a peculiar ride in my life up to this point, even more so now with a culmination of events that has lead to myself becoming a holder. I was born to minmatar parents. I had a more privileged upbringing than most, but was still born a slave. I lost my parents in the rebellion at the hands of resentful men. Then i was forced through some horrific adaptations and training to fight on these same peoples behalf. I still hold so much hatred over this i feel as though its poring out of my eyes. Despite this i cant bring myself to hold innocent people responsible. I am not of Amarr ancestry which is probably why i look through the inbred and greedy hegemony, policies, and rhetoric, to the true essence of the faith. It's true that God calls for the faith to be spread, however greedily taking slaves in the name of the faith for your own selfish benefit is not in or of the faith. This is the greatest heresy. Lord Yonis understood this. When jamyl tried to smear his name by granting the Amatar mandate under his tutelage,the empress thought she had outdone herself. She thought she would brake open a mask and reveal an aristocrat. Instead she found the truth in piety. A man unbroken by faithless shames.

In some time a great man, one of true spirit and faith will show what it is to have conviction once again. I only hope you can live up to the crown adorned your head. I hope you keep the mask on, that so many see as your face. I hope that Garkeh Khanid, keeps his vows and honor in the same respect; and i want you to know that even though a great leader dies capsuleers live forever.

Ever Vigilant

SoulLess Zealot

I'm not personally familiar with any capsuleer who has lived over the maximum human lifetime.

Take note that 'maximum human lifetime' is no longer what it used to be. However, you are right. We are a very recent addition into the interstellar scene. The Minmatar Rebellion itself started, correct me if I'm wrong, nearly two centuries ago.



The Sanmatar might be there just to screw with everyone else.

My bet is on the free food.

Thank you for sharing these words with us, my lord.

You're welcome.

You claim to look to the 'true essence' of faith, and yet you have chosen one of the most blasphemous call signs imaginable. I simply will not repeat it.

The entire tone of your letter and in particular your closing statement is quite shocking. A holder you may be, but you are in no position to question the Lord, or Her Holiness on any subject.

I'm confident my words will fall on deaf ears to one who has strayed so far from the Lord. I do however hope you are truly 'ever vigilant' and can someday find your path to God.

Starving people seldom have much time to spend in contemplation of scripture. The first duty of every state head is to the prosperity of her polity - without that, nothing else can be accomplished and with it, everything else is possible.

Only through many hardships
Is a man stripped to his very foundations
And in such a state
Devoid of distractions
Is his soul free to soar
And in this
He is closest to God
- Missions 42:5

And indeed, the first duty of a state head is the prosperity of her polity. How can you see to the prosperity of your people if you fail to Reclaim their spirit? Prosperity of the soul must come before prosperity of the body. The people of Amarr are starving. But it's not food or coin that we are hungry for.

I pray that Her Imperial Majesty will see to our real needs.
