Finally, the deed is done, two centuries of his brother's cancerous stain upon the House undone in but a few moments. Two centuries of ever diminishing borders, increasingly decadent nobles and widespread regress, the army brought down to a mere shadow of its former glory; even worse, the House's own name had been nearly made fade into obscurity, culminating in a marriage between the Matriarcha and a thug. the worst of insults Aeverys could have wrought upon the House. But no more...
"Good men of Ravenwood and my own brothers-in-arms. For too long have we been wallowing in the mud, misled by the likes of "Lady" Aeverys and her consort, who would have you believe the reality you've been born into is as much as you could hope for. Allow me to tell you of other times, times ancient, prior to the very Downfall which brought the Empire to its knees; a time when mankind had set forth to conquer the very stars, and succeeded, a time when we dared to dream, dared to achieve, and, in turn, there was bountifulness aplenty. Does my very lifespan not serve as an example of one such a conquest?"
"But of course no, Aeverys and her accomplices would not want you to discover the truth, lest you know how utterly lacking their reign, and that of their direct ancestors, has been, how the far the great have fallen. Rest assured, that will never again be the case, for this moment marks the dawn of a new age for the House. No more will those two fools have their way, Aeverys and her lap dog's reign of debauchery is at an end, and, even now, we stand on a monument to the days of old, a spaceport fitting of Nova's nascent glory!"
"For now, however, we head to the Capital, you are no doubt tired from this long campaign and just as there will be time for fights anew, there must now be time for commemoration"
