Lament for Fools (Note)

Transcription
Go on, celebrate it as victory. Tell yourselves we have defeated the Udug with bravery and cunning. Rejoice.
The fact remains that they have simply disappeared, and we have no idea why. In Irikar the ever present sounds of exploding storms suddenly ceased. At the forward operating base in Ziudsudra, where our forces were completely surrounded and starving after a months' long siege, the enemy pulled back to the watery horizon and has not been seen again. The Lamassu, that thinking machine our great grandparents thought of as the gods' messenger, seems satisfied enough that they won't return. What is it not telling us? Why is it so sure?
Mageshgetil, Wielder, on behalf of Amashilama
