The Emperors Speech

[Will (TauFirewarrior) 2466]

The King of Oren, William Horen III looks over the crowd of people assembled in the Abresi square. All is deathly quiet, unusual for a crowd. There is a somber mood in the square, but the King maintains a serious and non mournful look. Looking over the quiet mob, the King clears his throat to speak.

 

“Many, if not all of you are concerned that I have made the wrong decision in making Oren a Kingdom again.”

 

The King bows his head for a moment or two, before looking up again.

 

“But know this. Oren is not dying, nor is it defeated. I have made this choice in the best interests of humans, and the rest of the world as a whole. For the past many, many years, we have been selfish. Yes, selfish!”

 

The King rests a hand on the podium.

 

“But now that is done, and the world can go back to the way it was back in the first continent, in beloved Aegis. Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Humans. Together, we will conquer the growing threat in the North. A shadow rises there, the likes of which have not darkened the skies since the presence of the terrible lords of the Undead.”

 

The King looks over the crowd, focusing on several individuals with his piercing gaze.

 

“But we can defeat this evil, and all other evils that come our way. For we are the sons of Horen. No other race, no other force, can take our lineage. Or, our hope. For throughout the ages, Oren has stood strong. Even now, we stand strong and resolute, in the face of sadness. We are not defeated, merely changing, becoming a better version of ourselves. Keep the faith, sons of Horen. A new era dawns, and I will not say it will be easy, but when the challenges we face are past, it will be an era of peace, and well-being.”

The King sighs and turns back towards the palace, keeping a stern face.

A peasant shouts, "You suck!'

[ĔṀĔŔĨĨČĶ 519]

A Peasant goes to throw a tomato at William but then he blinks, going over the speech again in his head. 

 

"Wait that makes sense.."

[Watyll 1104]

The Grand Vizier nods solemnly.

 

"Long live the King!"

[Shadeleaf 1022]

((Best way to describe Arzota's reaction))

 

Walking by Arzota is pleasantly surprised by what he hears. 
"Finally... someone in Oren is actually making sense."

he chuckles, quite impressed by how well this new Emperor King is doing, even within his first few months.

[Redbaron™ 690]

Lancels face twists in disgust at the words, staying silent and sitting with the other members of the privvy council. His eyes and mood dark as he looks over the distant shores. Looking and hoping for the return of Horen.

[FalconByte 156]

Listens to the speech and when the king is done he shouts "long live the king!!"

[Shadeleaf 1022]

bend over some more why dont you

 

 

Arzota glances to the peasant behind him, 

"Not today thank you~ and I don't think the King has many plans to either."

he says with a grin, looking back to the crowd.

"Oi, so dost that meaneth we art all equal?" An astute pigherder raises his filthy hands in the air, "Oi've thought quit some time a'but us bein' equal, but O'im gonna hath to sayeth that I shain't be fightin' boiy tha soide of no dwarf. Dost no one remembereth that they are accursed?" 

 

He sniffles slightly and looks about him confidently and spots a noble woman by her lonesome, "She is a fine wench that hath enslaved me and moine with them arbitrary class erm . . . Conditions," Theodred this fine pigherder declared indignantly has he ripped the pearl necklace from the neck of the noble woman. "Now dis 'ere wench doth obtaineth these 'ere jewels by the fruit of poor men's labor, so if'n we starting over an' no longer bein' selfish than I declare the wealth o' them nobles ta be tha' wealth of tha' people!"

 

A one eyed peasant salted with age nodded strongly in agreement; he had since his youth aspired to spread his political inclinations among the people of Anthos, but had not the means to do so before. "Aye! We should not allow ourselves to suffer beneath the heels of Absolutism anymore! Oppressed socially, and oppressed economically we have been! But there is no difference between a pig herder and a king! And the wealth that hath filled the coffers of the aristocracy must be distributed among the masses where we shall  spend it equally as a community of man!"

A cutthroat without any direction in life stepped forward knocking the disgraced noblewoman to the ground, "And we shall topple the  aristocracy! And the nobility! And replace it all with a system with which we elect representatives from a portion of various populated districts to act as constituents to the desire of the voting man, and each representative shall server ten year terms before they are brought before an appeal panel where their services shall be critiqued and deemed worthy of reelection." From his pocket the cutthroat Benny pulled a dagger to pick his teeth, "And from the parliament of the people we shall vote from one among them a President of the Parliament to be our Head of State for a period not exceeding 7 years"

 

The one eyed peasant Cleisthenes Marx smiled and shouted, "Down with the false Kings! We shall change the world with Representative Democracy and a fair and equal economic policies that reflect mankind as a community!"

And with a cheeky grin Theodred the pig herder yelled, "And it shall be called Communism!"

*The old Paragon grumbles as he crumbles a parchment of paper and throws it on the ground, if one picks it up and unfurls it the paper would bear the following "Communism fer Dwarven Comrades - Paragon Kjell's plan." with a few more uninteresting paragraphs after. The old Dwarves waddles homes beginning to think of a new form of society for Dwarvish kind.*

[calculusdesola 1658]

Several hundred partizani peasants levy pitchforks and makeshift pikes and flock to the glorious innovator known only as Theodred, each individual vehemently slandering the completely false king.

 

"DA KOMMANDIR"

"ZA MNOY"

"GOD SHITS ON THE KAISER"

"NU PODHODITE SUKINY DETI"

[Aetosion 2062]

Edward Winter II breaks from the crowd of people in the square, unsure of his opinion towards the dissolution of the Empire.

 

((What happens to the Flay-Silverblades in Kaedrin? And are noble families with oaths sworn directly to Salvus/Kaedrin assumed to the Kingdom they were directly vassal to, or the Kingdom of Oren? There are several noble families, just looking at the list, whose oaths are to Salvus. Those would automatically carry to the Kingdom of Salvus as their liege, so would that mean that their oaths are then to Uruguan? Or do they have oaths binding them to the empire, and thus to the Kingdom of Oren? Are noble families of Salvus recognized in Oren? Just curious as to how all this is working politically.))
