A number of days passed since the events that transpired at the Illumination Academy the Tirdas before last, with little word at all coming from Sapiarch Dalion following his near death experience that night, until a letter to the public by him was found around Lillandril just today.
Fellow citizens of Lillandril,
The events that unfolded in the recent days amongst members of the College of Sapiarchs and the Mages Guild resulted from Daedric trickery, using our prejudices and past grudges against one another. I regret to say that I fell into this while under the control of a Sea Sload enchantment induced upon me by my Assistant Sapiarch, Lorentir, ultimately learned to be a worshiper of Daedra in secret. With fortune, this spell was broken last Tirdas by the very son that I pushed away and ousted many years earlier, and my life itself was saved by the same outsiders we so often scorn. The traitor Lorentir is to be expunged from the College of Sapiarchs entirely for his actions, and hunted down for his treachery, and so shall any that follow his ways. Now, we must all work to heal and forgive one another, and work to defeat the true threat to our lands: The Court of Bedlam and their Daedric Princes.
Note: Though I will be taking a leave of absence from the College of Sapiarchs while I recover at my estates under the care of my son, I shall gladly answer further questions that will surely arise, that much I owe the city along with all of those hurt in some way from my actions.
For Summerset,
Dalion of Lillandril
Sapiarch of Armamentry
Though a few questions still remain left unanswered, largely in regards to the infiltration of the respected College of Sapiarchs, it appears as though the Schism of Lillandril has come to an end. Emissaries from the Mages Guild and the Sapiarchs have met with one another to mend relations and work towards dealing with this growing Daedric crisis together. Dalion himself is expected to recover in full, presently cared for by his formerly wayward son, of whom the Sapiarch is now healing things over with as well.
