From the Desk of the Chancellor: A Call to Action

On this glorious day, I come to you basking in the splendor of our City.   The military has succeeded in a victory against the forces of the Shadow, but that victory did not come without price.  The price of our Commander but I know she would not have allowed any other in this city to take her place.  Commander Gawain did what was best, not only for Cordor, but for the entire island.  

I am not devoid of emotion, for I shed a tear for our late Commander.  But we must move forward.  

Are you certain you are serving your nation the best way you can?  Are you sitting in the background hoping that those around you will carry you into this glory?  Are you happy that you were not asked to make the choice that the Commander had to?  In my Cordor, we all do our part.   In my Cordor, those that serve would make the same choice as Commander Gawain did.  

There are times we must stay our hand but there are times when a reserved hand is the wrong approach.  Let Fate show us the wisdom of when to act and when to hold back.  Nothing is ever won in history without bloodshed.

The time to act now.  Join the forces of the State today.
