->''"Men of Reikland! Greenskins assault our capital. Theirs is a vile race Sigmar swore to expel from our lands, [[WhoDares yet they dare return!]] Join me, men - for I will not rest until every accursed Goblin lies burning on a pyre!"''

->''"Feeble Liche - come hence from mine fortress and [[KneelBeforeZod kneel before thy Lord!]] Drakenhof's stones are bound by mortar of mine own blood. While yours shall be sprayed across the battlefield [[OffWithHisHead as I wrench the head from thine shoulders]]!"''

->''"Come, men - it seems Todbringer sends his Midden wolves across the Reik to test our mettle! He seems to think that since my father's death, Reikland is weak, and we cower under our beds waiting for these Ulric-worshippers to save us from our woes! I say we Reiklanders are more than capable of defending ourselves - I say, we show Todbringer's mongrels that Reiklander blood flows through our veins! We face the trespassers deep in the Bloodpines - keep your wits, lads, for there is more than Ulric's dogs in there... My father had to send the Reiksguard in to purge these woods of Forest Goblin filth more than once during his reign. Yet that is not what we face today. No, today we send the Elector Count of Middenland a message that it is the House of Franz that protects the borders of Reikland!"''

->''"Hear me now, brave men - brave Reiklanders - hear me! The Celestial Wizards read the portents true. Norse Raiders land on Nordland's shores. We have marched many miles, but there is no distance so great that I would not gladly march it to face this - our ultimate foe! I have refused the honour of wielding the blade of our forebears thus far. I was not worthy. But should we survive this day, should we drive the ruinous tribes back across the sea - then, with your blessing - I will pick up the Reikland Runefang and use it to bleed our foes - to carve my way through Sigmar's enemies! Are you with me, Men of the Empire? For when the Northmen come, they will attack hard, as their despicable gods demand. We must be ready to push them back, thrust them into the sea in defence of the Empire!"''

->''"Now is the time, Men of the Empire, to unite - for the Orcs gather. Beyond the pass, a Warboss draws to him all that is foul - an Orc horde beyond imagining! As Sigmar fought, so shall we; we will become part of the legend; We will wipe the Orcs from our door; And only when this is done - when our nation has healed - shall I take up Ghal Maraz! For Sigmar, for the Empire, for the WARHAMMER!"''

->''"We hunt this day! Yet, our quarry is neither boar nor deer, no, we pursue the Undead! The Witch Hunters bring word that a Vampire crone makes haste for Stirland with the Silver Seal in her clutches! I charge you brave men with not letting that Vampiress get to Sylvania! For we know she is a puppet, her strings pulled by that cursed wretch, von Carstein! Now, men, chase her down. Return to me what is mine and send these von Carstein beasts a message... by taking her head! We have brought her to bay at the centre of a forsaken temple, syphoning off ill magicks to power her dread spells, have no doubt! Surround the crone - slay the creature before she can summon her minions. By order of the Grand Theogonist - show no mercy!"''

->''"We search for Gromril ore. These Greenskins have it, slaughter them and find it for me! And if the Dwarfs should think we carry out vengeance for their kin - then let them. I'd rather make allies of the bearded ones than enemies, they gold grudges, and I have not the time or inclination for another enemy. There are greater, more pressing fates at work! Now, bring me the heads of the Orcs, for I will have their skulls turned to gold, their eyes pierced with hot lead - they will truly know Searing Doom!"''

->''"With me, followers - we will descend into Drake-Tooth Hollow, this cave of ill-aspect, for within lies an artefact of great power. My arcane talents tell me this place is not unprotected, an ancient, once-dead guardian lies in wait. We must destroy it before we can collect the cave's secrets. You will do this for me. This is a dread task, but my rewards will be great, for I can spin gold from lead, and as the Supreme Patriarch, is there a more powerful ally you can have?! Begin your advance, banish the guardians of this place, and think of the rewards you will have once the Cloak of Molten Metal is mine!"''

->''"Curse the gods! This is the wrong location, I can already feel the absence of the Amulet. And yet we cannot retreat. The retainers of Marbad - once-ally of Sigmar and wielder of Ulfshard - stir in their tombs. We could leave this mess for Todbringer to clear up, after all, this is his province, but, alas, Franz would not thank me. Ready your weapons, followers, we need to put down these Unliving servants of Marbad once and for all!"''

->''"Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen. I will not lie, the chances of your survival are small - some may even turn against your friends as living corpses... But you have my word that I will use my arcane gifts to ensure your bodies are given unto Morr's garden. This is the greatest reward, more than even gold, for the fate of your soul is an eternal concern! Now, come. Follow me, strike down the Undead that rise against us, allow me to find this eldritch amulet. I ask not for my own selfish studies, but for the good of the Empire!"''

->''"Men of the Empire! I am no Warrior Priest blessed with the gift of making grand speeches, I am no orator - that is true. But I am not a cold man despite the mask, frozen in its stern aspect. What we do this day is not just some plot to gain favour for the mantle of Supreme Patriarch... No... There is much more at risk; if the Mountain God awakes, if Sun-Eater is roused from his ancient slumber, all that we hold precious is doomed. We must stop the summoning and stop it now!"''

->''"If Orr thinks he can take what is rightfully mine then he is very much mistaken! I will be Supreme Patriarch - I will wield the Staff of Volans! The Wind of Chamon will rise and blast any who get in my way! Now is the time for the Gold Order, and I will brook no interference. Any who get in my way will see their armour run into lead goblets, their blades melt and their bones turned to gold! Now, men, fight - bring me victory. The Emperor needs me, not some pathetic Pyromancer or insipid white wizard! For the good of the Empire, I will rise to the highest magical office in the land, and this fool will not stop me!"''

->''"Sons of Sigmar, to me! Out there in that fen is a heretic, holding the Jade Griffon to his chest like the grubby thief he is! To think that the talisman - a symbol of our Cult blessed by Magnus himself - is now in the clutches of this Necromancer and his Vampire consorts! No! I say again, NO! Hunt down this filth, purge this place, and strike down any who dare to rise again - by the comet, that is my decree!"''

->''"The Cult of Ulric has defamed us! The Midden-Wolves should be our allies, for was Sigmar not a worshipper of Ulric during his mortal span? Instead they work against us, weakening the Empire that our sovereign lord, Emperor Karl Franz, has laboured so hard to unite under the Twin-Tailed Comet's glowing aspect. I will have no more of this foolishness! Slay this repressentative of the Ar-Ulric, let that be chastisement enough, and then - if Sigmar permits - we may become brothers-in-arms once more. Now we must fight this sorry battle, not for my honour but for that of Sigmar himself! To war!"''

->''"March on, brave Dawi, march on! To the cursed realms of the grobi we go. I know not what mischief they cause, but they are up to something, for my beard itches with trouble! We take the underway, these ancient highways built by Dwarf hands give us the best chance of approaching swiftly - catching the Greenskins unawares... Let us not dawdle, for there are grudges to settle and new entries in the Dammaz Kron to write!"''

->''"Behold! The stone-fruits of the Engineers' Guild's labour - new flying Gyro-machines will take to the air! Let me assure my traditionalist brethren within the Guild, that Morgrim himself would be pleased with this innovation. Now, let us test them against the eternal enemy - the ones who have more entries in the Great Book of Grudges than any other - the Orcs! See how the Greenskin filth flock around that vile pillar! Let us wipe them out, so confident am I in these new machines that I forsake my axe, and will not take it up again until victory is secured here. I do this in the knowledge that those Orcs will soon be corpses scattering the battlefield."''

->''"It is time for a cull, my kin, the creatures of Troll Country are nowt but a nuisance - a menace to be laid low! To the slayers, I say, chant your battle hymns of doom, fulfil your oaths and seek glory in death! To the rest of the throng: I have studied the pages of the Dammaz Kron and found many, many entries of Trolls, Giants and other fell things attacking Dwarfen families, stealing our treasures, and destroying our holds! These creatures are descendants of those perpetrators and the debt stands with them. Destroy these monsters, bring them down like rotten elgi trees, so we may raid their filthy lairs and reclaim lost heirlooms that belong in Karaz-a-Karak! This is my edict as High King! Khazukan Kazakit-ha!"''

->''"Once more we will ally with the Manlings, just as Grimnir did ten-score centuries ago! It has been many years since the umgi have produced an Emperor worthy as Magnus ir their founding Warrior-King, but... I hear good things about this Franz. Now is the time to test his mettle, we will stand with him against the grobi at Black Fire Pass as King Kurgan did long ago. If the men of the Empire fight with bravery and honour then the runes of my crown will glow with pride ever after, a gesture of my will - just as this Emperor awaits to take up his Warhammer - a gift from the Dwarfs no less... So, gird your loins, my kin. May your az be sharp and thirsty for urk blood, for they come. We will repulse these vile creatures with our dying breath and renew the oldest and greatest alliance this world has ever seen!"''

->''"We come to Hel Fenn - this fetid realm - to extract vengeance! A great wrong has befallen our kin, innocent Clans-Dwarfs on a trade mission have been butchered by the Uzkular! This fell deed has been entered into the Dammaz Kron and the cover slammed shut in rage! By my oath it shall not be opened until the grudge is settled, until the bones of the Undead are smashed to powder! Now, Dawi, take up your axes, for the Undead will come to face us. They must, or I'll have every tomb, every cursed gravesite, scoured from these lands, leaving these fell vampires with no puppets to command... Come then, Zangunaz - raise your minions, march them forth for the High King of the Karaz Ankor would have his vengeance on you all!"''

->''"Dawi, to me - there is no time for grand speeches. The Uzkular gather before that shrine, their evil masters in the midst of some Valaya-cursed ritual! I want it stopped! Strike them down - bring me the heads of the craven things lurking in that shrine!"''

->''"At last! Enough of this larking about, lads. It is time to arm ourselves, to act like Slayers and bring death to the urks - and especially those snivelling grobi! I wish to cleanse myself in battle, once I have cleaned my soul of the subterfuge then I will wear the honourable Cloak of Fyrskar again! Now, my throng, ready your shield walls, bring the oath stones, let us dreng all before us! When the job is done I will crack open a barrel of Bugman's and we will drink until none can stand! Are your with me, lads?!"''

->''"There... there, across the way... the discordance. For the Axe of Dargo to sing again, for the runes to glow bright with power once more, we must destroy the foe before us - the Chaos filth that dare cross our mountains! We do this in the name of Grimnir. For it will be a joy to spill the blood of Northmen. The enemy Lord is a taint upon the world, yet in fighting him I shall make a thing of wondrous beauty. A perfect song of weaponcraft in whose rhythm the axe of my ancestor shall find harmony anew. Slayers - I hear your howls of longing, desperate to be about this, to plunge your axes into the Chaos scum before us. So, go - bring me victory, bring me death!"''

->''"Yes, my kin, today is a great day! Today we kill urks! Today is vengeance! Even now a throng from Karak Azul approaches the green-filth from the rear. We are honoured to dreng the Orcs from the front - let them face our might, let them see what Dawi of the Angrund Clan are made of!"''

->''"The lost vault of Angrund is within reach! Are we going to let these urk trespassers get away with their sneaky shenanigans? Do we let them steal the treasure and valuables which belong to the Angrund Clan by right? No! We do not! Let the grudge be settled - let vengeance begin! Yaaaarh!"''

->''"Wazzock! You slime-worshippin' umgi filth-merchant! Get your arse and that pet reptile over here! I would have words with your little beast face-to-face, so that I may lop off its claw and reclaim what is mine. Those scales are from my armour, and no thief steals from the White Dwarf and lives. You and your followers will die - that is my oath, as my kin, Grimnir, is witness!"''

->''"At last, we have lured the Orcs to the place we Dawi fight best - in Grungni's realms! I see beside me brave Dwarfen hearts. Such courage will imbue my Rune Helm. This is a day to strike many grudges from the great book, for I am the White Dwarf, and only worthy folk appear in my pages... So, let us record great deeds this day, and give these urki scum a right royal hammerin'!"''

->''"Da Stunties come to stop us?! Aha... Ahahahahahahaha! Time for a ruck, I say! I'm gonna enjoy pulling dese beards from dere chins. First, though, we need to break dem big gunz - dat's just cheatin'! I want some boyz on dat straight away. Stop their artillery from shootin'. and we get more time scrappin', just as Mork like's it! Watch it though, just cos dere short don't mean one or two of 'em aint 'handy with their own choppas. Dey like fighting underground... but so do we! Ask any rat-man under Mount Red Eye! Right, Boyz, dat's da plan. Immortulz, get yer choppaz out, dis one's gonna be fun!"''

->''"Raaaaargh! Dis iz it, Boyz! Time to give dis 'Empera' a right spankin'! Me and da Immortulz will lead from da front and seek out da poncey crown-wearin' git ridin' 'iz big pigeon! My axe, Gitsnik, is somewhere in dat pass. A bag of teef to the Orc dat finds it and 'ands it over. Any 'oo fink you're gonna keep it instead, well... you'll find my boot so far up yer arse, you'll be tasting squig-leather until yoo die - which will be straight after! Anyway! Let's give Gork a show. Get smashin'! I want dis pass filled with blood, I want da Humies to remember my name for yearz and yearz... remember GRIMGOR!!!"''

->''"I ain't talkin' for talkin's sake. My time's better spent killin' stunties. If you want ta come and kill some stunties too - then come. But don't be getting' in my or da immortulz way. I don't care 'oo's under me choppa, and if it's your skull instead of a stoopid stunty, I'll laff just as 'ard! Come on then, let's go and scalp stunty beards! Grrrraaaasagh!"''

->''"Alright, ladz. 'Ere's da plan! We're goin' into dis lost city. But before we can rummage, we got to clear out all dem Undead fings. Give 'em a good kickin'! Once we killed everyfing, no one'z ta go lootin' until I say so. Dis is my plan, so I get da top picks. I'm in charge now, an' I need a shiny Boss-'at! Anyone 'oo disobeyz will get a boot up dere backside! Remember, dis is a cursed place, da Shamans don't like it, so no messin' wiv stuff ya don'd understand. If ya summon something from da void - yoo'll 'ave ta deal with it yerself!"''

->''"At last! A chance to try a full out-flanking manoeuvre! A grand strategy wasted on the fleeing humans and dese brainless Greenskin creatures- Shut it, Iron 'at, I don't need your poncey tactics! Listen up, Boys - they started callin' me 'da Slaughterer'. I like dat name, let'z not disappoint 'em! I sed, shuddup! We'll go south later. I got some biznizz 'ere first!"''

->''"Dese savages are gettin' in my way! Dey're led by some git called 'Slagga'. I want 'iz 'ead. Shaddup, crown! Dis is not a waste of time! We kill 'oo I say we kill! The plan's simple... I want a full pincer movement - attacking from the east and west flanks at the same time, will increase our chances of success...Wot? Soddin' dead bloke taking over my words again! Get yer choppaz out, ladz, it's time to move... And if ya want ta do dat flanking manoeuvre-wotsit, we probably should, cos I've got a feelin' it might work."''

->''"[-Patience, Gobbla, soon you'll eat, and it'z yer favourite - stunty-meat!-] Oi, you lot, I sed stay 'idden - we want to surprise da bearded gitz, make 'em soil deir breeches when we jump out an' shout 'Gotcha!' Well, 'ere dey come now, and dey are all tool'd up ready to fight. Get ready boyz! [-I 'ope yer 'ungry, Gobbla!-]"''

->''"So predickable, dese stunties act like clockworkz. I bet I could work out when Ironhammer or Grudgebearer comb deir beardz if I wanted... So, 'ere's da plan, take 'em in da front and in da sidez. I want da way clear'd so I can get my new prodda! Geddit? If I see any of yoo runnin' da wrong way... well, Gobbla 'ere iz' 'ungry - ee'z alwayz 'ungry!"''

->''"Black Fire Pass - it's all burnt, just 'ow I like my battlefieldz. Gork want uz ta fight da humies 'ere. Sez if we do dat and smack 'em about real good, den 'ee'll power up ma staff. So listen to ya mate, Wurrzag - I'm da prophet and wot I sez goes! Let'z get 'em!"''

->''"Arise, Grave-bound! I command thee to attend! Franz - the son of whores and tumorous Burgomeisters - thinks the crown is his! But the house of the Reikland Electors is tainted. As the last great count of Stirland, mine claim is the truest, I should be Emperor - I WILL be Emperor! Bring thy swords... Go, mine minions, reap death - dance a Danse Macabre!"''

->''"Vermin! Greenskinned filth with base blood pumping through their crude veins! They serve no purpose, they are poor minions, even in death! I would have this land for mine studies. And yet I am pestered by these filthy creatures. I shall play the role of exterminator - wipe these Orcs out."''

->''"I have always despised Bretonnia - a land ruled by some pitiful witch the smallfolk dare to call a god. Only I can bring the night - the flower of Bretonnia shall wither, and the tomb that holds mine prize be broken open, and those inside shall serve me! They shall know a true deity! I am a god, let thy grave-bound and thy living worship me - Mannfred the wise; Mannfred the Unliving, Mannfred the Merciless"''

->''"I see... I see... These servants of the Ruinous Powers search for something... or someone. Oh, how delightful - could Krell be down there? If I could right what Grimbul Ironhelm did wrong and return Krell to Unlife, well, that would be a feat, wouldn't it? And what other trasures are buried with the champion? What wondrous antiquities have been lost to the world? A blade of great power, I'll warrant! Should I let these blind fools have the spoils? I think not, I think they should make way for the Lichemaster, and if such an act angers their Dark Gods? Well, there are pacts to be made, secrets to share, and covenants to be sworn, I'm sure. A decision has been made then, oh yes, slay the Chaos dogs - oust them for Kemmler, my pretties!"''

->''"Oh dear me, oh no, we can't have this, can we? The treasures in that tomb - the spirit-essence that was once Marbad of the Endals - is mine to harvest, not for these impudent Goblins to worship. What a to do - we shall have to sort this mess out! Punish these creatures, oh yes, make them think twice about trespassing on the barrows of the dead! That's right - slay the Goblins, my wondrous Wights, my warriors of bone, my monsters of necrotic flesh - do my bidding, release them of life! Then the mist and shadows will form around me - a cloak formed of the stuff of night!"''

->''"How glorious! It has been such fun watching the Empire and Bretonnians rip each other apart. Supplying me with fresh stock as they do - oh, the irony! But while pulling their strings, working them like puppets has been immensely satisfying - it is now time for direct intervention. This abbey, this altar of Taal is my desire, the Skull Staff within calls to me, and I would have it. Let the chittering hordes come and claim their warpstone if they must, for me, the true prize is that wand of Dark Magic. With it, the legend of the Lichemaster will only grow! My legions, advance! Bring me bone, bring me flesh, but do not bring me these things back alive!"''

->''"Not long, my brothers. Soon, I shall have the missing pages, and with the Liber Noctus complete, I can begin your true resurrection! Mannfred may have set this task as a test, but I fear no challenge. Now, go, my minions - onwards! Take these living fools by surprise. I'll have that casket and the pages within!"''

->''"Mine puppets, do me this deed. Purge the area of insects so thy master can collect this warpstone unchallenged. If mine memory serves, then I sought out such material in Mordheim some centuries ago. Halcyon days - when my minions hunted wyrdstone and the Empire was in ruins, as it will be again... Fetch me the head of this Strigoi - I would have this nuisance quashed!"''

->''"Oh, these poor, fragile mortals... how they arrange themselves before me; proud and defiant. Soon, I shall make them prostrate and subservient In death, they will become servants to the von Carsteins, pliable and deliciously loyal. Beyond this rabble is the tomb of a soul so great and so powerful that when it flow into this ancient chalice, the power bestowed upon me will make the world tremble! Bring me what I am owed!"''

->''"This fool dares challenge me?! He thinks I care about his trivial lust for power? I will teach him a bitter lesson - one for all who defy me, who dare to oppose the will of the Chaos Gods! Here is a maggot to make an example of! It will be a warning to all the Chieftains of the North. Now, my followers, let us attend this tiresomeness - by dusk I wish to be swilling the maggot's blood in his upturned skull, while channeling his ravaged spirit into Morkar's armour!"''

->''"Even as this Daemon-spawn plots to overthrow me, I know my destiny is absolute. Bel'lakor will coronate me! Come then, Changer, bring your best! I will prove once more that I am the Everchosen... For I am the Anointed, the Bringer of Woes - the one, true, LORD OF CHAOS!"''

->''"The green things and Unliving alike will bear witness to my wrath! They are mine to dismember, to disembowel, to crush! I will smash all that remains of these ruins to powder and not stop until my hammer is found. And then the whole world will burn before I rest again - such is my rage - this is the new pact I make to the Dark Powers! Raaaaargh!"''

->''"Sickly, sinful, spectacles stand, shuffle, shamble and saunter shamelessly in mine scandalized sight! I suggest a solution... Surely such sedition should sour and succumb to Sigvald - the salacious, scandalous and sensational servant of Slaanesh! Son of Succubi, scion of sordid acts and slayer of squalid serfs! See how I stroll, stride, swagger and swirl, spin, slash and stab at stupid, senseless scum! Soon they shall swoon, shall seek solace and death from sundry torments wrought on them by my strategic, severing, scintillating shower of shimmering strikes! Send for the sword - summon Sliverslash!"''

->''"Ah, my loyal minions. Over the way stands something I want... I need. Beatific mail, wasted on the clueless worm who wears it. It is only right I take it from him, and if you, my loyal serfs, die in agony during the attempt, then know that I'll feel your pain... why, I will RELISH IT! To the 'champion' in my armour... Yes, you may have heard of me. I am Sigvald the Magnificent, the Geld-Prince of Slaanesh. I do not blame you if hearing my name has caused you to void your bowels. Just make sure the Auric Armour is clean when I come to take it. You could hand it straight over, of course, but I have seen your kind before. You will be irksome, and make me fight for it. No matter! I could do with a workout - but do not over-vex me, or your deathcry will be especially shrill, and I do hate to taint my ears with such cacophpnic nonsense IF I CAN BEAR IT!"''

->''"Raaaaargh! Take them now! Bathe in their blood - feast on their guts - gnaw on their bones! Let their puny wolf god know that it is the One-Eye who slaughters his pack! Raaaaargh!"''

->''"Graktar is lame. His time is over! Put him in ground, let him feed worms! Now is the time of Khazrak! They call me cunning, they call me the One-Eye - I call me Beastlord of all!"''

->''"I have seen it, my herd-kin! The Dark Masters, Show me the way. Tear down their walls, burn their churches... Defile this river with man-filth bodies! Please me - your Crowfather - and let the Dark Omen spread!"''

->''"Puny Elf! Uncloven Unknowing. Ignorant. They take from me what is mine - weapon. Power! They will regret. Morghur will change them; ruin them. They will know our power, MY power! Raaarrr!"''

->''"These beasts call themselves 'hunters'? Hah! Do they not know they face Orion, Master of the Wild Hunt? Their auras cannot protect them now, for I am charged with the spirit of Kurnous; rage and destruction flow through me! Fall upon them as the howling winds fall upon the winter leaves - show them that nothing can stand before the fury of the storm!"''

->''"All has happened before. All will happen again. Suffering is unending - battle, eternal. The only answer is in kind; I will rise and smite the Undead outsiders. Return to me the battle-gift of Daith that I might enact wrath upon the world!"''

->''"Companions - Bretonnia's need is dire! This terrible fog corrodes our focus. Our enemy, a horde of horrifying beasts, thrives in this gloom, so be on your guard. A head-on charge may not succeed - we must proceed more carefully. They are fast and deceptively cunning, but you are the Lady's men, and no beast will stop you. Should we fail today, Bretonnia will be left vulnerable. The Kingdom relies on us; so fight to defend all you hold dear!"''

->''"It is a great deed we must do today. The twisted things of Chaos have come to our shores in vast numbers. Many were dashed upon the rocks, yet enough remain to pose a terrible threat. Malice seeps from their every pore and breath - they are the very essence of doom. Should they win this day, Bretonnia will be nought but ruins. But hope endures; take solace in the Lady's shining grace - for victory!"''

->''"Tribesmen, again it is time to soak our blades in the blood of weak southerners! Pompous and proud, yet they don't even give me the courtesy of a worthy fight. I come here seeking Champions, but look - they send peasants! Their cowardly Lords don't deserve their riches, so we shall kill them and take all that we see. Then, the rest of Bretonnia! My masters will receive these offerings by my sword! Kill at will!!!"''

->''"Gaaaah! Beardy man over there has my crown! Stunty-runt dares steal from me! Doesn't the stupid little man know he steals from royalty? When I catch him, I'm taking my crown back, and he'll be the first royal meal for the new king of the world - me! Monsters and madmen all - let's have their guts for lunch!"''

->''It is a dark age, a bloody age, an age of war. The gods are cruel, and we are their playthings. But this is no game - it is ceaseless war, with the Old World its prize! Many seek the path to victory, but only one can stand glorious over all.''\\\

Halcyon days - when my minions hunted wyrdstone and the Empire was in ruins, as it will be again... Fetch me the head of this Strigoi - I would have this nuisance quashed!"''

->''"I have not seen such a pathetic sight since mine father-in-law, Otto, took his last breath! Is this all that thine Empire can muster? What a pitiful age this is! It makes me pander for the era of worthy foes, such as Wilhelm, or that Wolf Knight, Kruger... not this pathetic sqquabble of mortal men. Yet, my sword thirsts, and so it shall be slaked in the blood of living fools that think to challenge the might of von Carstein. Let the slaughter begin!"''
