Good Yawning Lo~


Little Lady Xiao's silly head bumped into a chair.
Waking as she stood up, a tangled mess of hair~
Little Lady Xiao cupped her mouth from yawning.
Turning to the side, was a crumpled paper falling~

Dear Civillians, young and old,

Zhang Lar hereby declares himself Emperor of the Han and leaves you with this message: You and I are both as sick of this long drawn out conflict, and the Lords of the lands can not unify it. It is they, who are ever greedy and hungry for more power who will keep pushing for it, causing a trail of death and destruction in their wake. Needless to say, they will justify it..."In the name of the greater good!", but what is the greater good to these men and their loved ones when they had never volunteered to fight, but were mere conscripts to their Lord. These soldiers are forced to bleed and to die, but who are these Leaders who enjoy the spoils of war? They take men's wives for concubines, and livestock for feasts.

Now - I plead to you, no, Beg that you will aid me in this conquest of restoring the Han. Where we shall not fight with weapons, but with our Words. This conquest is vital to the safety of all the Civillians so we must seek out and remove the Traitors of the Han and return it to it's former glory. From there, we can create a firm foundation and listen to the Views of our people. The era of peace is long gone. Who can remember now what it was? Like a dream after you've woken up, you think you can remember it, but if it ever came to it you could not recite it to anyone else because the feeling is now lost. This is why our Era of Peace must be restored.

So, I declare myself Emperor purely to give you, the people, comfort and leadership in these troubled times. You shall not be confused by these poor, bloodthirsty leaders who merely want to see you dead for their gain.

If you are looking for a way out of this turmoil, and a peaceful life free from the horrors and chaos of war please reply as fast as you can. Together, we could defend our lands from marauding bandits and hostile Lords and craft our own pocket away from the troubles of feudal rivalries. Please, reply swiftly, and we can begin plans to find a way out.

Yours Faithfully,
Zhang Lar
