The Speech
The speech given to the citizens of das Kaiserreich from Kaiser Aztarwyn himself. It was copied onto paper and released to the citizens all over the empire. The official document he had written the speech upon is kept in Hauptsitz.

''Dear all of my citizens of das Kaiserreich der Cruor, today on the 18th of Pentember, Year 7 of the Sixth Age, we go to war with Lionheart. On the 31st of Bennath, Year 7 of the Sixth Age, they had attacked our land in a terrorist attack of der Mittelturm, killing many innocents. I am pleased to inform you out of the eleven terrorists, only one remains currently, with no legs or arms. For awhile there had been debates of war, however we took too long. Because we took too long, they decided to make up our mind.''

''Just yesterday, the Lionheart Navy and Army had attacked the ports of Hauptsitz Stadt and Blutstadt, causing utter chaos as soldiers were destroyed with incoming fire from their warships. Thirteen of our warships had gone down, and many of our men had perished. This was an open act of war, one that shall not go without punishment.''

''They look to destroy our nation, our home, and our people. For these reasons and these acts of war against us, we must go to war with the Republic of Lionheart. They will suffer our wrath just as our people had in two acts of war, only our wrath will be a hundred times worse. Their people will die. Their soldiers will die. Their land will be destroyed. If I must, I will see to it that their entire nation is ripped to shreds.''

And so war it is.

~ Kaiser Aztarwyn Zephon Gonzo
