Josh3738 3137 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Following Balek’s speech, Zahrer goes to move up the steps. Standing clad in his old legion armor, as always, he looks out calmly over the crowd gathered within the halls of the capital. Running a hand through his beard he clears his throat before beginning to speak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MT1Qy-v5eM&list=PLAZ5mqe3exRY5eLVBmishEbO8BrDkwtpr ((Common for easy reading.)) “Lads and lasses of Urguan. I will not give a speech like that of Balek, nor will I be giving one like that which I expect from Ognar. I will not promise you that which I do not believe possible, nor will I proclaim that which I do not think I can provide. I will not give an illustrious speech proclaiming the founding of another Empire of Urguan. No...I will not do that.” Those gathered look around them, whispering and questioning the purpose in his words. He remains silent as they do this before again clearing his throat to gain their attention. “It remains clear that the Dwedmar have fallen lower than ever before. Our legion sits inactive and our soldiers remain untrained and undisciplined. The renowned workforce of the Dwedmar has fallen into utter chaos as the economy breaks down into a few Dwed who jealously hoard their wealth. I am ashamed to count myself among them… Should I, through some miraculous twist of Yemekar’s will, be elected, I wish nothing more than to see the rise of a new Urguan. A strong Urguan… But not an empire… We are Dwed, unlike the faithless humans we have spent decades fighting, we pride ourselves on our honor and keep with it to the grave. Yet now come the cries for conquest and blood that will forge a new Urguan? How might we accomplish this sought after goal if we still lie in ruin? When our glorious Father Urguan was placed upon this realm we were tasked as the chosen of Yemekar. We are those whose duty it is to maintain Yemekar’s Balance and keep the peace of nations. We are those whose duty it is to defend the weak and restore justice to the darkness of the world. Yet now we scramble for swords and shields in a march towards an Empire? Many of you have known me since I was a lad. I grew to be a protector of our culture and our faith through the sword. The Dwed have never shied away from a fight nor do I believe they ever will. Though why must we seek peace through senseless and endless violence? All I ask of you now is to listen to the reason I so desperately wish to convey. My clan...the Irongrinders...a name I know all too well that many of you care not to say out loud. But despite the endless slander and hatred that seems unending...we have remained… We infact have grown. Grown to the point where we have an astounding voice within this Dwed Kingdom! It is with this voice that I speak my intention for more voices to be heard. In the hopes of a better future I should like to make these goals a realization! Not an ideal! More seats upon the Thanes Council for those whose voices cannot be heard due to the transgressions of past ancestors! The rejuvenation of the workforce, not through the lists of product and quota, but through the structure and use of the guilds! The reformation of the legion into the force it once was, a military renowned for effectiveness, order, and justice! The reforging of a Grand Kingdom worthy of the name Urguan…” He trails off, giving a moment to let his words sink in as he catches his breath. “Dwed of Urguan… Citizens of its renown… I will not buy your votes nor will I slander my worthy opponents. I shall leave you to make your own choice and decide which path is better for our beloved nation.” He descends the steps again, patting a few Dwed on the shoulder with a grin, before making his way to his home. Without speaking again, he leaves the gathered crowd to reflect on his words. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
