Line 24: In his essay, Loremaster Giovanni Mercedes would go on to talk about what he felt were the true strengths and weaknesses of his former Clan. He would describe the leadership as conflicted and often at cross-purposes with the needs of the Clan. Mercedes felt that the officers and leadership had clung on too long, and increasingly were unable to see the real needs of their Clan. He would cite poor relations and communication between castes - and often within the castes - and associated conflicts that would constantly slow down their progress.
