It is known that the Civil Watch's recent presence in the north has pushed back the Shadow and weakened their cause. It is also known that darkfriends do exist and that they work in ways so as to remove suspicion. The recent acts of both Corath and Walker within the Saldaean Cavalry as well as the cover up by their clan as a whole has shown that they have moved beyond the already despicable levels of corruption. Not only have they murdered a member of the Light's biggest ally, the Civil Watch Patrolman Moric, but they have used their connections to the Shienaran Lancers to help aid in riding the Civil Watch's presence from the north in order to diminish our impact on the Shadow.
The only explanation that reason can conjure is that the Borderland clans have let themselves be havens for darkfriends. It is our duty, and our intent to cleanse the north of these evil, corrupt men. Nothing is worse than forsaking your own kind and you will not be safe. Unlike the banishments of the previous proclamations I will tell the Lancers and the Cavalry that there is no place upon this world in which you are safe, for justice knows no borders.
