Message: <blockquote data-quote="William Ronald" data-source="post: 161163" data-attributes="member: 426">Serpenteye:OOC:   You have agents trying to forment separation of the Humanoid State.  If Hazen was able to learn of this, everyone on Toril knows about this.  Also, last time I checked the Githyanki Queen was at the peace conference.  You spoke to her publicly.  Also, if you can try to manipulate public opinion with words and bribes, I can try to address my views. No personal insult meant.Also, do realize that the UC of Toril probably has one of the best darn spy networks around.  Also, Krynn, Mystara, and Athas do not have banks so transferring credits means moving gold (or steel in the case of Krynn).  In the last case, your actions will be noticed.  Heck, on Athas your delivery people will likely be jumped on for any metal they have.Hazen speaks, moving slowly to the microphone.  It is obvious he is weary.  Even with a form like that of the Angels, it is ovbvious that he is tired."God Emperor of the Union,  I am personally offended by your remarks implying that the Oerth Alliance is insane.  Considering how much help you could have provided to Oerth, you have done little except build your power.  When there was a chance to clean the Red Waste, the Union of Oerth did nothing.  Indeed, there is a growing opinion that the Union of Oerth is about nothing but greed and the accumulation of power.  Some have said you wish to have the other nations of Oerth solve all the problems, fight in all the battles, and then you will move in to conquer all.""Also, I have identified this person" shot of a goblin mentioned in Serpenteye's previous post "as an agent of the Union of Oerth."The individuals remarks to members of the Humanoid State is mentioned.  About separatism.  "I have people on Toril as well.  I evacuated my civilians to Hope Isle.  I asked a few people to keep their eyes open for any interference in Torillian affairs by powers of Oerth.  As I speak, copies of this tape are being provided to the media on  Toril and all intelligence agencies."You have said:"The United Commonwealth is falling apart, regardless of my actions. What I'm trying to do is making sure that it divides with a minimum of bloodshed, because of the Mists, because of the Red Death, and because of my own concern for the people, especially the opressed humaniods, of Toril. If my ends are selfish... they are no more selfish than your own; survival." "Is the UC of Toril falling apart regardless of your actions or because of your actions?""Also, a friend on Athas has reported mass shipments of gold by persons who are walking through a gate.  What role do you have to play in this?""I have given the people watching this conference full knowledge of the events on Oerth.  I have shared with them the knowledge of my world and others.  I have shared the knowledge of the peoples and cultures of Earth with you.  Arthur MacKeppoch said if I thought it was needed to do so when I saw the need.  It is obvious that we need as much wisdom as we can obtain.""I pray that this conference will lead to something besides dischord.  However, there are those who are indifferent to the fate of their own world.  There are those who seek to conquer all. Yet there are those who will stand for peace, fighting if they must on behalf of their people, and stand for tolerance, understanding, forgiveness, and reconcilliation.""As Lady Shyntara of the Baklunish-Esmerin confederation may not appear until later, I will relay a message from her:" You are the people of Oerth, the people of Toril, and many worlds.  What can you not achieve?  You do not yet fully realize your own wisdom, your own glory, or your own strength?  There is no burden you cannot bear, there is no problem you cannot solve, there is no adversity over which you cannot triumph.  If you choose wisely.  The hour is late.  The multiverse is watching.""A senate insures that all voices, no matter how small, can be considered equally?  What is the power of one voice?  It depends on who that voice is?  What if that voice is Ian Payne's? Or Goldmoon's? One voice can make a difference.  A democratic republic ensures that a minority is not subjected to unfair treatment by a majority.""A senate helps ensure that all voices are heard from equally in a society.  Sometimes the small still voice is the one that speaks most truthfully and eloquently."Hazen holds up two documents in either hand."Here are copies of two of the most influential documents in the history of the planet Oerth.  Both come from a single great nation.  Here is their Declaration of Independence and their Constitution.  I have separate copies for the press, but everyone can find these documents in the information I included.""Let me quote briefly from the Declaration, whose words inspired a new birth of freedom on an entire world.  Though centuries and worlds apart, this statement also summarizes the views at the core of the Oerth Alliance.""'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness -'""There are choices we all must make.  I pray that the people of Oerth, Toril, Athas, Krynn, and Mystara will chose wisely.""Again, I thank you for your time.  I realize I am but one old man, but one who wishes well for us all.  May all the powers of goodness and Light bless us all.  May we listen to the nobler parts of our being and take actions that our posterity will honor."Hazen sits down, wearily.  Gwilym is chatting with the parents of the lost child.</blockquote>
