Final Words

The Final Words of King Pavel I of Stregabor to his son, soon to be King Jackson II of Stregabor, as told by a man at the local Fishdog Pub:"'My dear Jackson, my boy, I wish you health in your future. I am afraid that I am living my final hours right now, so I must have you know this. I am handing down the kingdom to you, my eldest son. I birthed this kingdom from nothing. My people from my time have long met each other under Yshmar's roots, and it time I meet them. Please, my boy, uphold the values of Stregabor I have instilled in every one of our people. Love everyone around, no matter how foreign they are. Be strong, and fight for what is true and holy: The words of Drathmir. Hope for a better future, and prosper and grow. And lastly, be peaceful. Our land was founded on war and starvation. No more is this going to happen. In Vordian, Stregabor means the Land of Hope. It was the promised land of Hörsar and his men, a place where food was not sparse, and where Ugra's life force was the strongest at midday. Uphold the Four Virtues, Peace, Love, Strength and Hope. Build a kingdom that you will be proud of, my son. For I am no longer in power to do so, nor will I be there to see it. It is in your hands now to grow, and teach the young the ways of our people. Put great importance on your own child, for he shall be the one to rule after you, and his child after him. Remember, our blood is sacred, filled with Voreir's spirits.""Now, go. I do not want you to see me in this state. Go to your people, converse with them, laugh with them, be one like them. Go and rule your kingdom, O Second King of Stregabor, King Jackson.'"
