After rallying those who remain faithful friends and those still willing to aid or listen to Hano's plea, he stands to a podium looking to each one of them. Whatever pain, worry, and regret he might have had is washed away by his determination to remedy the situation. Placing his sword - Bane Slayer's - tip on the ground before him and wrapping his fingers around the hilt he looks to each one of them.
"Brothers, Sisters, allies, and friends. You have no doubt heard of the recent events that have occurred. It was on our - The Triumvirate's - decision and action that lost The Artifact to the Servants of Talona." He pauses looking toward the group gathered speaking amongst themselves.
He speaks up to provoke silence so that he might continue "However - We do not regret attempting what we had planned. We only regret that we had failed in doing so. Considering the situation it was deemed the best course of action we could take." He closes his eyes briefly to collect his thoughts. Opening them he speaks with confidence. "The Temple of Helm will no doubt send a representative to the people and speak of their plans and actions they will take to reclaim The Artifact. There is no doubt where they stand with The Triumvirate - Which, is well deserved considering our failure. I ask that you all attend and listen to their plans and aid in whatever way possible - I too will be there. During this moment, which is indeed dark, we must rally to the side of all those willing to help." Draws in a long breath while observing their reactions.
"This is not a matter of pride or who will have control of The Artifact. The Genum Cube is a matter of The People - Everyone in this valley. Not only The Triumvirate's, The Hands, or The Temple of Helm - It threatens everyone. I now understand this and turn to you. Those of you still loyal enough to stand at my side - Not as a Brother or Sister in faith, but as a Brother and Sister of Sundren. To gather your strength and courage to do what must be done to ensure the safety of this valley and her people. To tear the cube from the clutches of Talona herself if need be and place it into safe care - The Temple of Helm." He speaks the Temple of Helm with a hint of regret, but understanding all too well that is where it would be the safest... "This is what is right", reassuring himself as his eyes burn with passion.
"So gather your friends, allies, and all those willing to help our cause! It will become dark before dawn, but together we will embrace the darkness and claim the light we - As the good people of Sundren - are all entitled to! For Sundren!" With out hesitation, he turns lifting his sword from the ground and swings it over to his shoulder, resting his blade gently across his steel shoulder guard. He steps from the podium with a hint of worry, but is overwhelmed with confidence in what friends he managed to rally.
Moving from the podium and now through the group of people that attended he thinks to himself, "Torm... There is more than a lot of cleaning up that needs to be done. With your strength and the strength of my allies - We will prevail. For there is no other option."
