An excerpt from a conference of the leaders of the clans of the Wildlands in Sentinel Bay, circa 855
Protector Marduk Voyle of Lochfell speaking:

"Let my presence here speak for the dedication of Lochfell to the betterment of the Wildlands.  Despite the wild accusations and constant slander of some of the clans, we have participated in this council with the best of intentions.  But our patience wears thin.

Long have the Dead Falls emptied into the waters of Lochfell at their base.  For nearly as long have we dwelled there, living our lives and fending off the aggression of those who have tried to claim the lands for themselves.  We have used every weapon we have had at our disposal to do so.  Let the so-called earth scholars among you scoff at our command of necromancy; you are merely cowards who fear to tread the path to the true power of what earth magic offers us.

And for this: for guarding our homes, our livelihoods, and our children; we are to be held up as a danger to our neighbors?  There are necromancers among many of the clans who are represented here today.  Perhaps what you fear more is our mastery of the art you cannot seem to master yourselves.

Nevertheless, Lochfell will continue to guard itself against all aggressors and if this means striking first to keep the battle from raging in our own homes, then so be it.  There is more than magic in our hands; our blades stand strong in battle and our enemies have learned to fear our daggers in the dark of night.  Remember this in the years to come: you can have us with you or against you.  Where would you rather have us?"
