The Address

You have all been summoned here today, these are unprecedented times.

As you all know, recent events saw many people descend into a dreamlike state, echoing out cries of a child, a thing of evil, that the land is not safe while it lives. You saw these people become catatonic afterwards. Eventually, when roused we found that they had entered a nightmare state.

Since this event, it has come to my attention, rather more closely and personally than I'm frankly comfortable with. That the child in question is my very daughter. There have been, since that day a number of attacks on myself, on these folks around me who have done everything in their power, and on the High Priestess herself.
