*Letters and a Herald is sent out, detailing Lana's response to Aleksei's and Ashna's accusations.*
Recent announcements have painted me within a dark light. It has caused a great amount of stress and thus I am forced to write a response.
The conspiracy that I am empowering the entity known as Magic through creation of the Anchors is unjust. It was through my own theorycrafting that we came to a conclusion on how the Anchors worked; being the only device in recent times that was known to deter Planar Convergence. When I discovered that it may be empowering the rogue Goddess, I contacted Aleksei Ivanov and told him. To confirm this, he-- my husband Linden Silveira and Elder Ashna-- contacted their respective divines in my presence. My theory was reality; true. In response, I went to the White Tower and asked Aleksei Ivanov to aid me in an alternative to protect the Veil, as I did not wish to empower Magic, yet I wished to protect the Veil-- and the Keepers of the Veil were the ones to contact.
His response was firm.
I must give up my magedom to recieve his aid.
He banned my work from his Archive, censored my contributions to uncovering the Precursors and now seems to conspire with the Ministry to spread this false accusation that I somehow concealed this information when I was the one that gave it to them to find an alternative to protecting the Veil.
Instead of wanting to help; they desire my infamy and humiliation.
Long ago, I was infatuated with the Goddess Magic and that much is true.
It is true that she is an entity that encourages concepts we, as Alterans, simply do not oblige nor tolerate.
That is why I gave up this heresy long ago.
I have taught every curious mind seeking arcane studies at Evenfall Academy that, whilst she has the domains of magic itself: no mage is bound to her.
All mages produce their own Essentia and, by extension, are responsible for their own actions, spells and gatherings.
When I discovered that the Anchors were connected to Magic, I knew it was a threat and I responded by seeking divine aid.
This is how they repaid me- by tarnsihing my name, my reputation and by extension my life's work and Academy.
I am happy to stand trial for what I know; what I have done.
I refuse to be damned by rumour and the zealous misinformation that I, of all people, do not care for our Realm.
I fought for our Realm when the demons invaded, I made the threat of the Immortal Seekers known, delved into the Cradle and helped save the Constructs and I have made every effort to help the Pantheon. I care deeply for Altera. It makes little sense why I would dedicate my life to research of Altera's history and her aspects if I only meant to betray her for a heretical Goddess whom is not part of our Realm.
Henceforth, Evenfall Academy shall no longer produce Anchor Arcana's in the face of the Final Mage Law.
However, Evenfall Academy will still welcome arcane study and prospecting new Mages.
We shall continue with caution; as we always have.
The actions of few do not define the many.
Elder Ashna and Lord Aleksei Ivanov are no longer welcome at Evenfall Academy for this tarnishing of my name and my work.
Yours thankful,
