Dwin appeals to the Norwick Citizens
-
People of Norwick, Listen to my words–I promise to keep this short.
As many of you know, we are again tested by an evil force to our South. It seems that we live in a constant state of such tests, and we have all grown stronger for it over the years.
Battle is on our doorstep, and I must encourage all of you with women, children, or elderly to take refuge - temporarily - in either the Dwarven Hold or with our friends in the Legion to the North. Safe passage will be provided.
The coming days could be hard for us all -- but we must do what we can to prevail against the evils that would otherwise see us gone from this land.
Those of you that can take up a bow, axe, or blade, I encourage you to see Lady Albryanna and volunteer to defend our walls while some of our Militia are away from here in battle. There will be monetary rewards for any such service.
We've been tested before, friends, and we will be tested again, I am sure. Your support of Norwick's forces and Norwick's allies is so important to us all, as is your orderly movement to a safer place.
Thank you, bless you all, and may your gods bless the Realm of Norwick!

Gives Alb and then Dwin a small nod as they return, then glances back to the people.
Any staying to fight who don't have much training in combat, I will show you what I can in the short time we have. Meet me by the Crafters Hall after you are equipped and get your orders.
With that said, he nods once more to Alb then heads just north of the crafting hall, kneeling on the ground to tend to his prayers as he waits to see if anyone needs a few lessons.
-
As well as holding his mass prayer, Hammerhand visits those of the townsfolk who volunteer for the defense, and blesses them in Tempus' name.
"You are blessed with strong souls. Though nobody asks or expects it, you still step up to defend your homes with nothing but the will to do so. If battle comes this far, I know Tempus will favor you. May you prove your worth to Him and all."
-
After a brief discussion, Dwin walks away smiling a bit and seemingly happy.
-
After a few moments, Albry gives a small smile and nod to Dwin before returning to Aelthas' side.
Your choices must be made soon. Those who wish to take refuge elsewhere during the fight, I request you gather near the northern gates. I will dispatch escort guards to the Kelemvorite temple, Legion tower, and Peltarch. Those who wish to make for the Dwarven Hold, you know the way.
Those who wish to take up arms and stand in the Realm's defense, I ask you meet outside the barracks. We will provide you with proper armour and weapons, and will issue your orders.
She gives Aelthas a nod and makes her way to the barracks.

Upon hearing about this new apointee, Dwn raises a brow and beckons Albryanna to come speak to him, alone.
Albry makes her way over to the Chancellor, lowering her voice with him for a few moments.
-
Ronan lofts a brow at the news, then grins slightly…
A good choice, Albryanna..
-
Said under his breath, an instant and dire rection to the news.
"A civilian over her own officers. As if Militia morale was not low enough…"

-
Albryanna speaks once Aelthas turns to her.
I am placing Aelthas as my second in command. His expertise and knowledge in battle will be vital, and will be at my side commanding the ranks. Any and all who wish to take up arms, step forward!
-
Hammerhand, on his part, begins gathering the names of those who do want to head to the north with the Legion escort, as well as organising them to travel.
-
Aelthas, who is recently returned listens to the speech and speaks up after Dwin is done.
For those of you who do not wish to leave, or are unable to go far, I will speak to Thander at the Kelemvorite shrine for a temporary place further from the town, a place where you will be able to make the trip further north if things go bad, but so that you won't need to travel all that way in case we are successful.
The choice is yours and only yours.
Aelthas then turns to look at Albryanna at his side.
