Hanneth.com - Ultima Online - Lord British's Speech (August 10, 1998)

<Lord British> Hail citizens, friends... Fellow Britannians.
<Lord British> 'Tis with an angry heart that I speak with thee tonight.
<Lord British> For We Have Been Betrayed!!!
<Lord British> The entire realm.. every living creature, great and small... Betrayed!
<Lord British> We face dangers each day. We are not cowards to cry
<Lord British> out at the first sign of hardship.
<Lord British> But the Zog Cabal hath gone too far!
<Lord British> By attempting to cast the Armageddon spell, they have shown their true face.
<Lord British> They mean ill to the entire realm. To each and every one of us.
<Lord British> Though their motives remain a mystery, there can be no doubt as to their
<Lord British> willingness to try again.
<Lord British> And with any future attempt, the Zog Cabal will at best learn
<Lord British> better how to correct their mistakes... at worst, render
<Lord British> Britannia a total wasteland.
<Lord British> With this dread knowledge comes responsibility.
<Lord British> Responsibility that none dare ignore.
<Lord British> The Zog Cabal and every being who claims membership
<Lord British> with this fell company are enemies to us all!
<Lord British> Thus I ask all Britannians to aid in the search for the Zog Cabal.
<Lord British> Seek ye any sign. Any clue. Aught at all which may assist us in
<Lord British> finding the lair or leaders of the Zog Cabal.
<Lord British> Any member of the Cabal who is captured should be brought to the
<Lord British> Court of Truth in Yew where they will be thoroughly questioned.
<Lord British> With the Virtues to guide us, I will have every
<Lord British> Zog Cabalist brought to justice!
<Lord British> Their fates will be tempered by Honor and Compassion, but they
<Lord British> will threaten our lands NO LONGER!!
<Lord British> Suffer not the indignity of such vile fellows and ye will be stronger for it.
<Lord British> I wish now to speak of another matter.
<Lord British> One of different focus but of no less importance.
<Lord British> With the earthquakes brought on by the Zog Cabal,
<Lord British> we have discovered a new land.
<Lord British> As yet only a brave group of six adventurers hath been sent to explore
<Lord British> this uncharted wilderness, including CrawWorth, who hath long been
<Lord British> a warrior of high virtue.
<Lord British> As word of their findings wends it's way back to us,
<Lord British> it hath become clear that more exploration will soon
<Lord British> be necessary.
<Lord British> To that end, I ask all stalwart warriors, mages of renown,
<Lord British> mapmakers of great skill, healers, rangers, scribes...
<Lord British> All who art filled with Valor... to heed this call.
<Lord British> Many art needed, yet I have full confidence that greater
<Lord British> numbers than are required will be willing to volunteer.
<Lord British> To all of ye, I offer my deepest thanks.
<Lord British> Fear not if ye are unable to join these early explorers.
<Lord British> For if all goes well, any who wish it will be allowed to
<Lord British> aid in the eventual expansion of our realm.
<Lord British> A bulletin board will be posted to allow ye application for
<Lord British> early exploration of the new lands.
<Lord British> Seek ye secure.owo.com/beta and utter the code "noneshallpass".
<Lord British> I give my personal thanks to all who accept this duty.
<Lord British> And also to all who possess the desire to accept,
<Lord British> yet were not called upon to such office.
<Lord British> Thank ye Britannians! And Fare Thee Well!!
<Lord British> Seek ye secure.owo.com/beta and utter the code "noneshallpass".
