Guided by Priests and the will and determination of the strongest warriors, soldiers this Prince General has ever had the Honor, and i mean Honor to serve with." He has to stop and breathe.

OOC Information
Savaren was killed in the 2nd part of the Battle of Ellish as an @offline soldier. This means he was not connected and was puppeted by another player. It had been the policy to let an @offline-r killed in one battle actually have his death scene in the next, which would be impossible for Savaren and several others since there would be no other battles. Instead they were set to Dying instead of Corpse of, and allowed a little over a week to rp their goodbyes and reach some closure. This speech was delivered at the 'Mustering Field', a permanent room that represented right outside of the front wherever it was; but it represents the fields surrounding Ellish, where Savaren spoke to the troops.
