Just so we're clear—Yamalia is worried, rightly I think, about our ability to fulfill our word that we gave when we all agreed to this contract, which was, in a nutshell, that we would retrieve the Dragon Egg, if it still exists, and return it to Yamalia. Despite the ambiguity we all might have about the mission's hidden agendas, as far as I know the completion of the mission will greatly better Glenzor's political bargaining position in the War. Regardless of whether or not you care at all about this mission other than what you're getting paid, in money or rank, I honestly believe that it will benefit not just Glenzor, but the entire Dynasty of Tribes. We all have Glenzor City close to our hearts, but remember the tens of thousands of Clan-dwelling Orcs that are putting their lives on the line as I speak for Glenzor City. I take that back—not for Glenzor City, but for their culture and their traditions; for their families that are waiting for them to return home.

I know for a fact that this group was not the only group lined up as potential candidates for this mission. Yamalia is not leaning one way or the other toward the Orcs or the Elves in this war, and I'll tell you now that her second choice was an Elven group based out of Arthinon. We got this mission because Sindaraen helped out the poor Brass Dragon that lost her life in childbirth, a fate I would not wish on anyone, regardless of their race or position.

So I tell you, if we cannot convince Yamalia that we are still of sound mind, and heart, and conscience, then we are not only betraying Sindaraen's friendship with the late Dragon, but we are betraying our loyalties to Glenzor and the Dynasty of Tribes. Simon and Mikhael, we will be betraying Zed's Bastards, who are out there right now as I speak on the front line, fighting zealously for the Orcish cause. Lairunya, you would be betraying your sister, Fea, who is currently working for Glenzor in investigating the emergence of the Drow. Nicholous, you would be betraying the hearts in Glenzor who welcomed you into their arms as nobility, indeed as a protector of Glenzor.

So I ask for your testimony. Can you let other personal aspects of your lives lie by the wayside while you fulfill your agreement to Yamalia, and ultimately your agreement to protect Glenzor, its people, its culture, its traditions? If, in your hearts, you can answer yes to this question, then I say we stand up to Yamalia's fury and let her know our position in an honorable fashion. I say we not teleport away, as if we don't have the courage of our convictions to save Glenzor. If, in your hearts, you can answer yes to this question, then I myself will contact Yamalia this moment and demand her presence; demand that we be treated as companions, not as minions. If she needs to think, then let her think in our presence, with our input. Can you, my friends, answer yes to this mission?
