*Magister-General TDKR aka Euandros Castelliani walks in on the Senate floor with an armed guard of Praetorians. The Senate grows quiet and the Magisterium watches attentively from atop*
ENOUGH! THIS SQUABBLING HAS GOTTEN US NO WHERE!
I have spoken to Archon RobRam and First Enchanter Monkey and I grow sickened of the corrupt pox that has been allowed to fester in our once Glorious Empire!
You grow fat and complacent as the savage Qunari pound on our doors. You'd rather preoccupy yourselves by feeding your depraved desires instead planning for the coming storm. Emperor de Chalons blames us for the havoc that the profligates have wrought in Orlais. The dying Markus sows fear and distrust through the Pentaghast Clan for the Venatori spy that has infiltrated his inner circle. THE SOUTH IS ANTAGONIZED! Do we need more enemies as we duel the Qunari for that which is rightfully ours!?
One third! One third is the number of indentured soldiers that has abandoned our glorious Legion to desertion! They would prefer to live under the Qamek of the savages! What does that tell you brothers and sisters?
We can no longer rely on slaves to fight our battles for us. A change is coming to the world. Some of you scoff at the Heathen prophet and yet look at all he has accomplished!!! As a mage no less! In a barbarous land where magic is viewed with suspicion! If he is not a Herald of our Glorious Prophetess he is certainly a Herald of Change.
Are we to sit idly as the lands beyond Tevinter rise? Look to our Circles!! Was not our magics the benefactor of Glorious Minrathous? For Ages Minrathous stood as a beacon and bastion against all that is unholy!! And yet the very Circles responsible wallow in disrepair and neglect!!
The hour of renaissance has long come. In this Dragon Age, an Age named for the Gods of Old, in the name of the Maker Himself, I beckon your arms and influence so that Glorious Tevinter can be reborn!!
