Triumphant. Victorious. Undefeated.

 

          The criers fanned out through the city singing jubilantly of an Imperial success, traitorous Adrians squashed by a superior Imperial force. But it is at a cost, humanity’s ichor stains the marble floor of the Imperial Palace; Heartlander and Highlander alike lay dead, and now hungry, fervent flames devour the city of Ves in its entirety. But the echoes of night shall not have the reverberation of a disunified, broken Empire.

 

           No longer will the poison-filled Adrians latch on to Our Empire and sew dissent, chaos and disillusion. Our Empire emerges anew from the flames, the banner of our dragon gripped tightly in the soldiers and men who give it its power, its strength: its unity.

 

           This aforementioned unity has resonated in the actions of the noblemen of Our Empire today, the men of Renatus, Curon, and Haense stood beside each other -- as equals as a foe was vanquished, as the bricks of a city crumbled down, engulfed in imperial flame. Truly were these weeds ripped from their roots, forever singed.

 

           Let this harrowing night convey a message, a warning to all who think they may prevail over Our Empire of MAN. There is no prose that can be formed in which the Empire shall fall and lose; Our peoples stand together in unwavering unison, and respect their brethren that spans across Kingdom to Kingdom. Our Empire shall remain triumphant.

 

The Empire stands as one.
Ave Imperium.
