| “ | Open your eyes, weedling. Look around you. Every home, every spire, every bridge bears the mark of our tools, the loving handiwork of your ancestors.
We Eaggra are the most abundant of all the races of Yavaun. Our nature is like that of the very land we work, as strong and resilient as the trees. In the blood of our veins flows the very energy of the earth itself, the flood of feelings in our hearts is the heartbeat of the world around us. This is what drives us to do the work we are given, not the lash of the Tha' Roon. The Tha' Roon rule by use of Obblinox militia, and it is only the brutish and cruel strength of those warriors that has stemmed the tide of revolution. For the Thousand Years, we have toiled under the heartless, iron fist of the Tha' Roon and their fawning war-dogs, the Obblinox. By our hands, through the weary labour of a thousand years, we have fashioned the bones and sinews of the Empire. All that has been built is the work of Eaggra Artisans. Yet freedom and liberation are not enough. If we are to be truly free, where then lie our own towns and our own settlements? Where are the homes in which free Eaggra can raise their children? Slavery is the name of our condition, and evil the word to describe our twin slavers--the Obblinox and the Tha' Roon. To be in our own land, our own country, where we are finally free, this is our dream. It is the Tha' Roon who thought to enslave us, and their loyal hounds, the Obblinox, who carry out the crime. Where is freedom? In what valley awaits our Homeland, the land of which we sing, that place of first memories which haunts our dreams? Strike out! Fight! A slave fears neither failure nor death, for the pain of this life is greater still. A slave is alone, for he has no one and nowhere left to turn. One by one we must come together, to ensure that slaves become free, and our taskmasters are thrown down from their thrones and seats of power. It is a time of Eaggra against the world. Stand strong against all enemies! We are like the leaves and trees of the forest, innumerable and uncountable. We must make our own way. Even those self-professed defenders of the weak, the Shama' Li, cannot be trusted, for if they were truly our allies, they would join us without question. Although it was the Shama' Li who provided the subtle inspiration for change that now has set Yavaun aflame, it was the Eaggra who took the first actions towards change. And it shall be the Eaggra who emerge victorious! |
