Winds of Reformation
January 8, 1007

To restore the Republican Army and bring discipline back to the military requires extreme measures. In recent years, select generals who have been with the Republic since the initial revolution, Reinhard Suntail and Claus Rosewing, have caused severe problems that have resulted in the Army's current status of disarray.

The once-proud Republican Army, built on the ideals of freedom, unity, and progress, has been compromised by the internal corruption and ambitions of high-ranking officers such as Suntail and Rosewing and their followers. These officers, once revered for their valor in the early days of the Republic, have become parasites that threaten the integrity of our nation.

Suntail: Following the 1003 banning of the Griffonian National Revolutionary Front after they committed a terrorist attack, Suntail, in disagreement with the banning, took an army north and began to plunder and raid communities. A decorated and skilled officer, his own arrogance and ego has unfortunately has led him to commit terrible acts. This can no longer continue.

Rosewing: The former President-Marshal's closest friend, confidante, and once-Vice President. After a series of disagreements on republican ideals, the two drifted apart. Over time, he began supporting a monarchist movement within the Republic. Recently, he took the army under his command and began raiding republican armories for weapons. He needs to be stopped.

The Republican Army needs new blood. Approximately half of the generals are considered Old Guard and unflexing in their military views. A Republican Military Academy needs to be created to train republican soldiers and bring in fresh officers who can replace some of the untrustworthy Griffons.

To ensure that the Griffons stand behind the Army, there must be a public reaffirmation of the Republic’s principles.

May the winds of the sky guide the Griffons to victory.
