[Matis] In search of Svaldi Bucci


Woren siloy young homina!

By the tone of your letter, I am sure I may address you in this way.
Even if I cannot, alas, grant you an interview (my hours are very busy, especially at the moment) I will nevertheless try to meet your expectations.
First of all, you will allow me to be astonished that you did not find nothing in the Royal Archives. But perhaps, indeed, the times were too turbulent for certain documents not to disappear, by accident or not...
For Svaldi Bucci was a great homin and he deserves to find in our common history the eminent place that is in fact his own.
You have to know, indeed, that Svaldi was my predecessor at the head of the organization that we today call the Rangers.
But to better appreciate the importance of the character, it is necessary to go back even further in the past, at the time of the settlement of homins on the New Lands, after the Great Swarming and the exile that followed.
Svaldi was then in command of the Matis contingent of the armed force willed by the PMA and led by the four heroes of the Force of Fraternity. I think this name at least is familiar to you and I don't need to remind you of all that the guild it refers to has brought in the fight against the kitins.
It is on the remnants of this army, and by taking up its objectives, that the guild of the Atys Rangers was built. And Svaldi took over the leadership of the guild: his experience in command was designating him for this role.
He firmly held the helm in the storm raised by Jinovitch's accession to power in 2504, despite restrictions, despite pressure from all sides.
And when the time came to help Prince Yrkanis flee Matia to save his life, he did not hesitate for a moment.
Then, because Jinovitch's suspicion of him put all the Rangers at risk, he sacrificed, for the good of all, his position as Guide and disappeared, probably to join the rebels led by Yrkanis.
This is when I took the lead of the Rangers of Atys.

This is what you must retain from him, young Matisse: devotion to the common cause! Remember this when you report to the Karae!

Svaldi Bucci was great. Give him back the place he deserves!
