There is already a great divide ripe for exploiting. Human against inhuman. The denizens in my castle are incapable of fear, but their numbers are limitless and they have centuries of experience in generating fear.

The other guardians will not intervene because the war will be confined to our little hamlet. If any attempt, the condition of the barrier should be enough incentive to stay their hands.

As for sides, my place has always been opposing humanity, and as guardian you would be better suited to protect the insects, so I suggest we start there.
