Shaghroth stands up.

A grim trophy crumbles into dust.

Davairus says 'Past few days have been painful for me, I was losing my mind completely for a while.'

Shaghroth says while chewing on something vile 'It saddens me that our halls taken such blow, she tought me so much in arena and outside of it.'

Shaghroth gurgles 'She has a place in my heart untill it beats.'

Shaghroth kneels in front of the corpse of Tearea.

Shaghroth bows his head in worship of Diocletian.

Szrevan looks at the corpse of Tearea.

Davairus says 'The sadness is very heavy, and the loss feels very real, and as well for all our power we are completely helpless.'

Davairus says 'For she is still gone regardless.'

Shaghroth looks at the corpse of Tearea.

Davairus says 'I gave Tearea the title of a red lotus.'

Shaghroth constructs a grim trophy and stakes it into the ground.

Shaghroth sits down and rests.

Shaghroth sniffs sadly.

Szrevan roars 'The passing of warmistress Tearea does not mean we will not continue the legacy she continued to build upon. She embodied the teachings of the titans from the ages past.'

Szrevan stands up.

Szrevan yells out his warcry.
Szrevan yells 'Scorch the plains, burn the skies, revel in Fire of my desire!'

Davairus says 'A lotus is a plant of great beauty that thrives in a very harsh environment.'

Szrevan bows his head in worship of Lorne.

Shaghroth nods at Szrevan.

Davairus says 'We can swap some memories of things she did we remember.'

Shaghroth gurgles 'We must continue our fight and in our victories we shall honour our mentor, our sister.'

Shaghroth stands up.

Shaghroth gets a Wayfarer's Cake from a Loot Sack.

Szrevan roars 'She fought bravely even if the enemy was a coward, always to her full potential.'

Szrevan roars 'And her tactics were often ingenious.'

A grim trophy crumbles into dust.

Shaghroth constructs a grim trophy and stakes it into the ground.

Davairus says 'She also gave opportunity to those we had felt were best given up.'

Szrevan roars 'She threw another monk into the giants of the ford when fighting as an underdog.'

Davairus throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!

Davairus says 'That was hilarious.'

Szrevan roars 'Being able to utilize your surroundings in a battlefield is a trait of a true Warlord.'

Szrevan roars 'And she was not an ounce short of being one of the greatest.'

Shaghroth looks at a splintered dragonclaw ranseur.

Shaghroth looks at the stone of the dragons.

Davairus says 'When I first took Tearea in Warlords she told me her long term goal was to inspire others to try to compete.'

Shaghroth gurgles 'She succeeded in her mission.'

Szrevan roars 'Being met with a challenge, she did not turn to moping and giving up like many do, she would come up with creative ways to overcome anything that was thrown at her way.'

Szrevan roars 'Our last mission, that was abruptly cut short with her passing was to reclaim the Forge from the Keepers, so that the legacy of the titans that bestowed their wisdom upon the early Warlords would be restored.'

A grim trophy crumbles into dust.

Shaghroth nods at Szrevan.

Shaghroth constructs a grim trophy and stakes it into the ground.

Shaghroth looks more enlightened.

Szrevan roars 'I plan to carry on this mission for the both of us, so that we take back what was a part of our legacy for such a long time. The Keepers will forever remain an enemy for disrespecting her in word and battle.'

Szrevan roars 'The presence of a Keeper means suppression to all those who strive toward greatness, pushing the limits, conquering the challenges and reaping the rewards or glory from it.'

Shaghroth nods at Szrevan.

Szrevan roars 'There will never be a peace until their petty crusade of balance has been subdued and everyone in Serin will be able to live up to their full potential, just as Warmistress Tearea also envisioned.'

Davairus says 'Perhaps one day that goal of unity could be properly achieved, therein lies the lesson though, that we fight with honor against those who do not.'

Szrevan roars 'I remember the early days of my trials upon joining the Halls of the Greatest. Tearea was being bullied relentlessly by those who held the power of numbers against one.'

Szrevan looks more enlightened.

A grim trophy crumbles into dust.

Szrevan roars 'Yet she endured and did not succumb to their tyranny.'

Shaghroth constructs a grim trophy and stakes it into the ground.

Szrevan roars 'Nor will we ever, or we would taint her legacy.'

Davairus says 'Her goal of unity is what helped our cabal out of its slump. To have camaradrie, a team, instead of the rugged individualism we used to have. Tearea's left a better Warlord cabal behind, a better Warlord code.'

Szrevan roars 'The Keepers have proven to be ineffective bringing down the tyrants that suppress individual freedom and the pursuit of excellence by overwhelming one with unfavorable numbers and dishonorable tactics.'

Shaghroth gurgles 'It's not our way to succumb or cower. We fight our heads held straight and eyes fixed on enemy, so did she to inspire us and other who whitnessed.'

Szrevan roars 'My plan is that we keep doing what we have been doing. We took care of the tyrants of Justice, dishonorable cowards of Legion and the bloodthirsty Knights that would go even as far as finishing off someone wounded from a duel a moment before.'

Davairus says 'Let us turn our attention to the current matter and we will discuss that afterward.'

Szrevan nods.

Davairus says 'Shaghroth, would you mind take this body down to the ship.'

Shaghroth gurgles 'We follow the code as we have followed it, dealing with threats as we have.'

A grim trophy crumbles into dust.

Szrevan bows his head in worship of Lorne.
