As commander of military I would be thrilled for our defense measures restored back full glory and function. Also indeed overwatch guard station of the eastern shore is vulnerable and needs desperately repairs. But I hold on trust that with scavenging for supplies we should use supplies first to forges, as with forges everything comes possible to be produced faster and better. I do agree we need keep making ourselves known to outside world delayed for until our forges function and we had done some critical repairs.<br/><br/>But we can however still do contact so long we keep our exact origin and location of our home a secret from potential enemies and spies. Even when we spread outward we can keep location a mystery, as our secrecy and location is still one our better defenses than any artifact cannons and reinforced walls can do. If need for trade with outside we can build external outside fort or even city for that purpose than guide trade vessels to us. Using camouflaged sorcery or ships to do supply recovery and delivery for the manse.<br/><br/>So to remind Ashen Hero, enemy of my enemy is my friend. The world at large is potential enemy of War Manse 13, but also same world is largely enemy of those chosen of Sun who weren't chosen from War Manse 13 population, so that makes them our allies even if their not part of War Manse 13. With them as our allies we can accomplish much more, like secure fairly solidly safe and secure crew for scavenging and people more familiar with outside world to deal with trading and in return we can give them safe haven where come for protection and start rebuild and repair slowly the world which was destroyed in the ancient betrayal.<br/><br/>We have long lived in isolation but isolation itself is not purpose we live for in War Manse 13, as we live for a day when we can start and be part of restoring the glory of solars back into world than be hunted down and killed by traitors. A world where we can live without fear being discovered."</em>
