	Perhaps you are prepared to pay. Perhaps to save the souls in Asavea, you will risk your life, sacrifice all material wealth, and imperil your home. But what if you are not asked? What if the price is lands far from yours, homes far from yours, families far from yours? Perhaps you are prepared to sacrifice everything. What are you prepared to take?		Perhaps you are prepared to pay. Perhaps to save the souls in Asavea, you will risk your life, sacrifice all material wealth, and imperil your home. But what if you are not asked? What if the price is lands far from yours, homes far from yours, families far from yours? Perhaps you are prepared to sacrifice everything. What are you prepared to take?

	Turn your back on the Brass Coast to spread the Way abroad, and you are taking it. Or the Marches. Or Therunin. Navarr has declared that now is the time to fulfil the oldest of their oaths and take the fight to the ~~Vallorn~~; will you sacrifice that? Or the Holy City? The Empire must spread the Way. The Empire must protect its people. The Empire must inspire Virtue across the world. The Empire must earn and deserve the Loyalty of its citizens. Can we do it all? What if you must choose? What will you choose?		Turn your back on the Brass Coast to spread the Way abroad, and you are taking it. Or the Marches. Or Therunin. Navarr has declared that now is the time to fulfil the oldest of their oaths and take the fight to the vallorn; will you sacrifice that? Or the Holy City? The Empire must spread the Way. The Empire must protect its people. The Empire must inspire Virtue across the world. The Empire must earn and deserve the Loyalty of its citizens. Can we do it all? What if you must choose? What will you choose?

	Do not be children and assume the worst will not happen; that is Hope. If you will spread the Way across the world, take responsibility. Turn to those who are most imperilled, look them in the eye, and tell them you demand they make the necessary sacrifice. If you cannot do that, you have two choices: uplift the people here and leave the horizon be - or work. Work to shore up our armies, work to shore up our homes. We know Asavea will attack our trade ships, and I have heard priests scoff at the loss of sixty thrones a season in revenue as a petty, material concern. Sixty thrones is more than the cost of feeding an army for a season. I am a senator of this Empire, responsible for finding those funds, and I cannot feed an army with the flames of your Ambition. The Empire exists to spread the Way, but to fulfil that duty, the Empire must exist.		Do not be children and assume the worst will not happen; that is Hope.
