To the Esteemed Ulrich Wagner, Pardoned from Mandalore’s Tyranny, Awakened to Power,
By your word you claim a prolific duty under the last drawing strands of the previous Sith Empire. Referencing and cross-referencing such events you have claimed, I myself can only find truth in the things you have claimed and so humbly spoken. You stood by the last vestiges of the Empire, and for that you have won honor among the Sith at the cost of disgrace at the galaxy’s greater hand. Ambition drives you, same as want, need, arrogance, power, and all other mortal and immortal vices. For as far as all I can find, you are Sith, and you shall be honored as such.
So, it may be of no surprise for me to state that I have considered well what you are asking for. It is not only some draconic desire for dominion, but rather an innate need in all things. We all wish to thrive and rise above those around us. I would ask why you aren’t content with your crown of an undead throne, but I need not an explanation to know that it is ambitious that sings in you. You have the will and desire to see a dream of empire, and for that I offer my sincere hand and even my blood in kinship. We are beasts of the same nature, shaped by flame and twisted into the pinnacle of what it means to rule purely and freely. Which is why I do not offer you the gift of what you seek, but a gift through the same question the once-Emperor Prazutis asked me:
Why ask for what you can take?
You have proven yourself Sith, and that loyalty thrums deep in your veins. But look out among the ashes of what we once built: there is your dominion for the taking. You yourself are born of ash, and fire is your word; cultivate that fire now, and claim these ashes in the name of both yourself and the Sith. If you wish to prove yourself in some capacity, then let this conquest be proof of your word of allegiance and power. Show us that you have the mettle, strength, will, and cunning to take with the same hand that serves the Sith. Alliance means little when neither is able to give. Take this as proof of me giving in return, lest you have any doubt.
You and I are one in the same; beasts of fire and want among a world of cattle for the taking. We are a rare breed, and I would accept your allegiance in truth, earnestly.
May the Force be with you,
Of Highest Honor,
Telis Taharin-Zambrano,
Darth Aagenti,
The Lord of Ambition,
The Hand of the Emperor
