Thrax Gives Honor

Posted by Galen on 03/25/18
The War is over, but the battles remain within our hearts and minds. The price was paid, the cost being sufficient to end that which oppressed us. Let us never forget this cost, let us never forget those brave men and women who fought beside us, let us never forget those who died so that we may have our freedom from this foe.

I, Prince Galen Thrax, do hereby proclaim under my authority as Warlord of Thrax that our family officially recognizes, honors, and mourns not only those whom we have lost from our house and those in our fealty, but those who fought beside us and fell. Thrax further recognizes and honors especially the memory of Grandmaster Armel Godsworn, Princess Serafine Velenosa, Lord Armand Farshaw, Baron Estaban Saik, Lady Eirlys Greenmarch, and Lord Darrow Darkwater.

The prayers of Thrax are with these Houses and families who have lost, but to them we also give thanks for their sacrifice and its enduring memory for all of our futures.

I close this proclamation with a reminder. On the battlefield, decisions are made, orders are given, and things happen. This is not to say there are not consequences for actions, but I challenge you to remember: Each person there was willing to make the same sacrifice that many did. We gain nothing from bickering and fighting amongst ourselves over what has happened. Our enemies want to see us divided because that is the only chance they have of defeating us, our unity is a weapon no one should underestimate and together we will defeat whatever comes against us. This is our time to stand united, to regather our strength, and to more closely build our alliances.

It was together we fought this enemy, together we suffered, and together we will become greater because of it. With all my other words written, I personally salute every member of the military forces and civilians who risked their lives or supported this war.

By my hand,
Prince Galen Thrax
Warlord of Thrax
Tears in our wake, never at our wake.
