My fellow Dalayans, this is not a message for all of you. For those of you with heavy beliefs in purity and the message of the light, I speak not to you. But for those of you with darkness in your heart and the shadows in your mind, ah you. You should listen closely. It is to you that I give my message.
The Bearers of Truth rebuilt Athica. I know. I helped them do it. I spoke with Athica herself, the original voice of the then-dead city, and I sought to help her. But the Bearers are not a force of good. They have never been and they were never meant to be! There is no shortage of Bearers who also wear the mantle of evil. The Bearers of Truth have one job. To stop Kaezul. To that end, good and evil must work together.
But brothers and sisters, we have been betrayed. Athica has become perverted from this message. When was the last time you strolled through the fine city and saw a Troll resting upon his porch? When was the last time you saw a young Iksar swimming in the ponds? When was the last time a Cultist of Entropy could pass through without receiving hateful glares? Surely there are many of darker influence who go through Athica every day. But none maintain residence there. None sit and stay awhile, to call Athica home and raise our young. No, we are driven away by the prejudice of a city that we helped build.
We shall not stand for it. Athica, we are done with it. I shall not stand to destroy a city which I helped raise up. Nor indeed should any of you. As angry patrons of a tavern which has grown abruptly intolerant, we shall simply take our business elsewhere. Where you ask? Shall we come into Grobb, already well past its breaking point? It was full enough with Trolls, and now it hosts the unfortunate Iksar as well. No.
We shall take Kelethin.
Kelethin is empty, the ghosts that infested it have gone. We believe they have left because Athica is rebuilt, though this is hard to prove. Why then, have we left it empty? It was a home once. A grand and beautiful city. And we shall make it so again. It took time and effort to rebuild Athica, but we can do it again. The efforts of a few can be truly stunning, have we not already seen so? It will take time, hard work, and patience. But we are just as capable as any pompous high elf. Indeed, we are more capable for we are the ones who have clawed out a life in muddy huts and cruel rainforests.
Well, my brothers? Are we ready? The Iksar have long claimed to be conquerors and I can think of many a Dark Elf who longs to see Nagthilian back in our hands. Let us take the first step. We shall strike out across the world with no more tucking our tails between our legs. Kelethin will be ours, not by right of conquest but by the right of architects. And no more will we stand the hatred of Athica.
Kelethin will be ours.

Non-Roleplay bit :
The Cult is stagnating. Something needs to be done and frankly, we need to initiate it ourselves if we expect it to get done. GMs are busy people, we understand that. But we could be doing our own shit. Kelethin has been empty and dead for ages and nobody has taken any interest in it. Well we are. Athica really HAS gone astray from the Bearers message of neutrality and an evil outpost not too far away would be a key step in the balance between good and evil.
If we start doing what we did with Athica, IE collecting money, making armor for guards, food for inns, all the sort of thing, then perhaps we can get Kelethin rebuilt. Like Athica of course, we'd have to rename it. Kelethin is far too puny a name for our new bastion of the wicked. You're welcome to submit a name of course, but that's a secondary concern right now. At this point, we're frustrated enough to do the entire thing ourselves, but please. We'd really appreciate help in our endeavor. Evil roleplayers aren't much catered to so we'll just have to suck up our pride and do it ourselves.
Don't worry guys, the slaves will come after the city and your pride will be right back to where it was.
