If Sebastian could talk, he would talk about wasted resources and men on silly skirmishes, and a lack of realising their opponents understanding of their own tactics. But instead he does not because what is done is done but for the first time in over 100 years the Crow has not been allowed to regain their standing. The Crows should have died with Henrik.

Ser Dederick Varodyr observes Tarcells speech for a distance as he begins to pack his belongs with Bishop Edmond.

 

He sighs, for a moment saying...

 

"May the creator stand by you in the bloodbath to come. I will pray for you, Tarcell and for your men. Who will follow you to what ever end."

 

((Defiance.))

[Kralek 519]

Ulric Lothorn rallies the remnants of his men and begins to seek out refugees of the scarred battle grounds and the lingering husk that Brelus begins to form. Among the stirring of packing and rallying he overhears the speech and speaks out to his family and companions,

"A fool, that man. Barbanov is gone and he has abandoned his people in the time they would need him the most. My oaths to Siguine were fulfilled when he disappeared after the battle. This war is over and the time for restoration and peace is now upon. Let us not dream of a hero's death when in reality it is a fool's. These men will not be remembered for courage or glory in this scant of a fight, but as fools who have thrown their life away and gnats to be swatted away. Let all men of Adria and the coalition know that it is time to begin anew. The coalition is broken. All noble men left flee. King Olivier has defeated and subdued us. Spread the word that we must make a new home under our King. Whether we think ill of him or not he has proven victorious over us and seek his mercy. There is no use for stubbornness and wish for a fool's death.

 

There has been enough shed of human flesh and blood over this throne. There is no need or cause for more to be shed. We must gather ourselves from the ruins of the coalition and start anew just as a dead tree provides life for a new one. All refugees of this terrible war hear this and yield, gather what men, women, and children you can find and follow us to a new life under the victorious King. Let us not folly any longer over whether he is idle for he has proven to be our true liege by defeating us.

 

Creator bless these men and bless those men who will now have to throw their lives away to put down this insurrection. Creator bless all those who have suffered in this war. It is time to reunify mankind once more under our great Creator."
