To: The Brotherhood Leaders || From: Custodi

[Corile]

Kalhmera,

There is nothing permanent except for change and times of change are ahead of us. The last year has seen a lot of turmoil, both on Crete and beyond. Battles were won, battles were lost, we flourished but also dwindled. And any change that is not properly overseen, will eventually turn into chaos.

In Attica, the term of Archon Aesop IV is ending. I intend to participate in the race for Archonate, however regardless who wins the vote, a permanent place for Custodi within the broader Corsair society needs to be ensured. For centuries we stayed, hidden away in our valleys and fields, without much regard for the outside world.

With the Apostatas being openly rebellious and our enemies growing more and more audacious, it is clear the Empire needs to be reformed. We can, and must, preserve our unity to flourish, but the situation of the Corsair nation must be examined, flaws within must be found and rectified so that progress is made.

I will reach out to you again after the Attican elections with more clear plans of my vision for the future, either as the future Archon or an advisor to one. For now though, it's imperative that you also identify where Custodi can be useful to strengthen the Empire.

Yours faithfully,
Ίκαρος Αυγουστόπουλος
Icarus Augustopolos
General of the Custodi
