War calls for reciprocation. The enemy must never be a step ahead of us, my fellow dragon riders. It's for this reason that I suggest the creation of the Spy Riders who will work in the same manner the witch-spy works.
They shall be trained to be the best, to be even more vicious than the witch-spy. We shall stripe the spy rider of all emotions, save the gnawing need to infiltrate the Vale and steal intelligence.
