Speech Text

The Shamibelians thought the Republic was dormant; we did but pass a time and now have stirred and woken fully. We have taken up our weapons and set our helms upon our brows and wrought anew that which once we wielded.

When first they struck at our heart we did the same and they have forgotten it. Throughout the Republic, soldiers bade their time until called, marching together to the beat of the drum. One by one our cities were freed; one by one our people were released from the chains of slavery and did take up weapons to join the fight.

The gods were with us then, as they are with us now. You saw how the fires did strike the barricades upon Judano's Steps. And wasn't that a pretty little slaughter we did unto them until they ran like rats, fleeing the sight of Republic green until they crawled into their hiding place. Well, there stands their hiding place; a Firan fort. A fort with beds and good thick stone; all you have to do to rest within it is root out those rats from their hide and finish what we have started.

Eleven years ago a Firan soldier stood before these walls and gave his life to assault them. A name that stands proud among our people, a Lord, a Minister and a High General of the Republic. He was loved, he was respected and he was feared by the Republic's enemies. Here is where he died; here is where he gave his life to take that which we seek to take today. Many of you have been counselled by his daughter, who stands now within the camp, praying to Lady Eesha that justice be done this day. We walk in the footsteps of those who have gone before, and it is to them and all who have suffered at the hands of the goats that we bring our righteous vengeance.

So, once more, once more unto Fort Triumph dear soldiers, once more and make of it a new wall of the Shamibelian dead.

The battlecry is Republic, Unity and High General Xegolus.
