Yours and Mine
Posted by Sen'azala on 08/13/22
Peoples of the Compact, peoples of Arvum,
We were allies once, yours and mine. My blood came to Arvum long, long ago to fight our enemies and discovered they were also yours. Before the founding of the Compact itself, we fought and died together at the Reckoning. Our paths parted at the end, but we remained. In the dark woods and the deep snows, we fought those that sought to destroy you.
We were allies once, yours and mine. When Queen Alarice called for aid to push back the enemy that had betrayed House Grayson and threatened to destroy all, we came to fight again, because your enemy was ours, and we remembered our promises of old. We fought and died together in the Elven War. We were betrayed by the Compact in the end, but we remained. In the dark woods and the deep snows, we fought those that sought to destroy you.
Our enemy comes again. Grayson, Valardin, Redrain, Thrax, Velenosa, and Pravus; he has the blood of your people and your vassal's people and your vassal's vassal's people on his hands. Every House in the Compact has bled or will bleed before this is finished. Every Abandoned house, clan, and tribe have felt his sword or will. And my people, one by one by one, have been hunted and slain, murdered in the dark by the agents of a coward whose own people deem him unworthy of the blood in his veins or the right to rule. He is a traitor and a kinslayer. An oathbreaker. A butcher of innocents. He will respect no surrender and honor no sanctuary or sacred place.
Bastion falls. Your people fight on.
Artshall burns. You stand defiant.
He will try to take everything from you, as he took everything from me, but I have seen that the strength of your hearts outweighs even the strength of your swords, and I will not fight in the shadows any longer. I will not let you stand alone. I add my voice to yours.
I would say this to you, to all of you, so that there can be no mistake of my sincerity. I ask permission of the Compact's leaders to speak it on the floor of the Assembly of Peers.
There are promises to be kept. Yours and mine.
Forever Defiant,
Sen'azala min'usra Venandi ket Wolfkin, Prima na Dhiibandzi
Sen Who Stands Alone, leader of the primary line of Venandi, chosen blood of the Wolfkin, First within the Chorus of Wolves
--- Valardin Stance via Alis ---
There have been others who address the Compact from the floor of the Assembly of Peers. As Highlord of the Oathlands you would have my support and approval to do the same, Prima.
--- Society of Explorers Stance via Lou ---
As Pathfinder of the Explorers, I will personally vouch for all of the times I know Prima Sen'azala has come to the aid of the Compact, which are quite numerous. She is welcome among our camps, any time.
--- Helianthus Stance via Evelynn ---
We are -so- proud of you, dear friend.
--- Riven Stance via Mia ---
Those of House Riven have stood shoulder to shoulder with Prima Sen'azala before. We would proudly do so again.
--- Nox Stance ---
Let the Traitor see that the more he tries to separate the Compact from its allies, the more we cleave to them. I am proud of you, Prima.
--- Velenosa Stance via Jaenelle ---
I'll have the Nefer'khat Embassy dusted and a new wing added.
--- The Crown Stance via Eleanor ---
The Crown warmly welcomes Prima Sen'azala to speak at Assembly.
