Dear Comrades, soldiers of Salvo, legionaries of Urguan, Fighters of Anatis, Brawmia, Haense, Balian, and all lands befallen to the Imperial yoke, brave guerrillas who strike at the rear of the invader scum!

Even before the coming to Azuras, the enemy has ever haunted our steps and we have ever resisted! The Pontifical States, the Kingdom of Burgundy, and the Empire thereafter. From the time of my grandfather to the time of my sons, Salvo and her allies have held fast against the endless greed of monarchs, false icons of the people!

The Enemy comes for us again soon enough, for we have taken the mantle of command for the final stage of this prolonged war of aggression. May it displease the mongrel dogs that we have denied the disintegration of the Horde, that we will not give up this new land we have built without fight! Should the foe desire these southron provinces, they will come to find fields strove clean, cities evacuated and despoiled of all things useful, the earth scorched so that no army of theirs can be sustained by it!

Now we prepare for the coming battle, the final trial of this ‘war for Azuras’ where we make our stand, so those under tyranny may one day follow our example. No expense shall be spared, no soldier so meekly armed, no wall raised too tall, for a’las this is our final effort! Let no one deny nor forget the courage and will of the descendants that still fight in the south!
 

Should we be favored in the coming trial, we will grow bold in the face of victory. The defense will be advanced ten-fold and this city of Ghorazad will be made our permanent stronghold. Should we deign to rout, we will seek refuge in the hills, in the forests, beneath the earth, within the shadow of arrogant keeps, the headquarters of revolution will prosper no matter the outcome!

This will be the final trial for the war for Azuras but it shan’t be the final trial of Salvo!
 

We will never surrender! we will never yield nor collaborate! we will never negotiate vassalhood nor mercy! Another day, another time, there will always be a Salvian flying the tricolors of the lone-star banner, even if the entire world has lost their courage! We will still stand ever-defiant, against all odds and opposition, until the freedoms and liberties of our state are secured!

[Epicethan4 948]

Cicero offers a firm nod. "Aslong as we stand, this war is not over. The Empire was so hasty to claim their fake-title that they forgot to actually rule ALL of Azuras. GLORY TO SALVO"

Elsbeth would be smoking her pipeweed while observing a apple for the past thirty minutes, only taking her attention away to read the notice about the Salvians. "I s'ppose its proof tha' the Alliance never truly died in the end."

"He spelled my fuckin' name wrong!" complained Attorney General Mark Calhoun

[Navigator 4260]

Inquisitor Amyas scratched his chin in confusion.

"Well, we outnumber them ten-to-one. This ought to be quick!"

[Mescaffier 6197]

A powerful rebuttal was sent to them, by the girl they'd captured but a few days prior . . .
