My Lords, Ladies, Friends, countrymen,
Elwynn will be no more.
To this day, nothing sadder has ever happened to me. Elwynn the glorious, the beacon of civilization, home to cultures rich and rare, of music, literature, a myriad of languages.... It will be no more.
While the bombs burst in the air, mothers wailing over their killed children, the Ayreonist Alliance saw no other way to save the people of Elwynn, the Elwynnese nation, than to dismantle their body-politic completely. Only then could we bring an end to the many wars that have befallen our land since the days it resubmitted to the Mango Throne in 1599. Since then, the history of Elwynn has been a history of terror after terror, due to the evils of each regime there after. We had the harmonious state, the communists, the Vanics, and the Icebears. Each bringing their terror upon the population.
Elwynn brings only death. To create life, we must kill our mother. We must kill Elwynn. Only then will the Elwynnese people be free.
Lord Prætor
The Ayreonists took initiative to peace negotiations. We met with the Imperial Government and with the Icebears, with the Amokolians, Batavians, anyone with interests in the matter, to find a way out of the mess, the carnage, the tears...
In the end, after much toil, we offered our dearest mother to the sacrificial altar: Elwynn. If only that would save the people.
And we hope so. This is the last chance Elwynn has for peace.
