  • Lord British's Speech 22 OCT 1998


    Greetings, Brave Explorers and Adventurers!
    What began under the twin moons, Felucca and Trammel,
    a full cycle ago now draws to a close.
    Nay, actually, not a close. Rather, a new beginning!
    For within days, the new lands that you have so bravely pioneered
    shall begin to thrive in the gentle hands of all Britannians
    who choose to bring their works there.
    Our adventures in the new lands have as a sapling sprouted,
    but have yet to show green.
    For our efforts to bear fruit, the new lands will need to be tended
    by every woman and man with the same bright spirit
    that drove our first expedition to those lands.
    Though CrawWorth, Xarot, Caitlin and the others appear
    to have sacrificed everything in opening this land to you and I,
    their efforts are not forgotten, nor have they gone to waste.
    With similar resolve and valor, we shall build that land into a new territory,
    complete with new cities, new areas to build homes, and we shall create
    for ourselves vast opportunities there.
    For now, no homes shall be built in the new lands.
    But as we tame the savagery that has been found there,
    expansion of our homes and shops will quickly follow.
    Thanks ye
    Any citizen of Britannia who wishes it may seek a Writ of Expansion
    that will allow access to the boundless possibilities of the new lands.
    Our future there is in thy hands
    and in the hands of any others who heed this cry.
    Let the valleys tremble as our footsteps echo across them,
    and let our voices rise as one as we make those lands our own!
