Below, on the central stage, Kneeling mutely before the stage, the hobbled, freckle-dusted Jihaen templar has to clench his jaw, which quivers.
Below, on the central stage, addressing those gathered, the immense, crimson-braided man says, in sirihish:
"My High Precentor is right to point out how well the Orders have done in protecting My City."
Below, on the central stage, Moving very slowly, the severe, white-haired Lirathan templar barely lifts her head to reveal a white face and widely-open eyes.

Below, on the central stage, softly, though his words seem loud, the immense, crimson-braided man asks, in sirihish:
"However, it seems my words were not attended to as closely as I wished. Did you not HEED my warning?"
The voice of the immense, crimson-braided man on the stage below you carries effortlessly, as if he weren't even speaking louder than normal.

"Darkness gathers."

"Only if we march as one will there be victory."
Below, on the central stage, The immense, crimson-braided man lets his massive hand fall from his old runed, ivory-hilted steel greatsword.
Below, on the central stage, turning to the severe, white-haired Lirathan templar and spreading an arm to her, palm up and extended, the immense, crimson-braided man says, in sirihish:
"My High Precentor, at least, has seen what was meant by my prophecy."
Below, on the central stage, The severe, white-haired Lirathan templar musters a thin smile.
Below, on the central stage, The immense, crimson-braided man takes a moment to stare at the severe, white-haired Lirathan templar's seemingly much-smaller form beside him.
Below, on the central stage, calling out loudly now, in a thunderous voice, the immense, crimson-braided man says, in sirihish:
"I invite you all to bear witness. This is the day that the Jihaen and Lirathan Orders fall."

Below, on the central stage, The severe, white-haired Lirathan templar dips her head before the immense, crimson-braided man, quickly hiding the confusion clouding her gaze.
Below, on the central stage, stammering, though he irons his voice out by the end of the statement, the skeletal, dark-skinned Jihaen templar says, in sirihish:
"So says the Sun King, His Will be done."
Below, on the central stage, After a brief moment to look around the Arena from the stage, the immense, crimson-braided man gestures to both the skeletal, dark-skinned Jihaen templar and the severe, white-haired Lirathan templar with a meaty hand, beckoning sharply.
