Speech for protestors against Kirkayon Island and Port Suthmost
* need arrogance and hardlinishness mixed in with 'nice' sentiments, else not characteristic
"... We are the people of Talton! We are the historical liberators and defenders of the human race! What kind of appalling irony has managed to turn that magnificent ideal on its head? How is it possible that any of our own suffering number can not expect the protection that every tiny village and insignificant hamlet could call on in the Ages of the Fae?
"For too long we've been sending our own sons and daughters - victims, not enemies! - away to an icy hell to die. And that, people of Talton, is utterly unacceptable. For too long we've felt that injustice only in our hearts; now it's time to speak against it, to do something about it.
"We're far too proud for fear! Do we still fear the fae? No! They tried and failed to wipe us out! Do we still fear any enemy from the overseas? No! Not one, not one has ever made a successful landfall in Ferrean! We are not afraid of any enemy! What in the sweet name of iron do we have to fear from our own?
"It's time to stop exiling Talton's children. It's beyond time. Rather than pour public monies into the removal and deportation of Reshaped victims, we need to divert those thousands on thousands on thousands of dollars towards researching remodifications and neutralisations of genuinely dangerous magic. To what better purpose could we ever turn the knowledge of the Seven of the Hold? Let Arathalian remedy the appalling damage he's done to our society! Let Cochalyon and Nebeshanin pay for the lives they've taken by saving others!
"To the Faeborn, I say this. Suffering creates two kinds of men: the very best and the very worst. You above all people should understand the pain and suffering of others, and let it teach you not to pass it on. But if you do pass it on - if murder and violence truly are all that you choose for your life - then no hell is icy enough for you. Let Port Suthmost hold you until you rot!
"To the rest of Talton, I say this. Port Suthmost and even Kirkayon are no fit places for your wives, your husbands, your children, your parents, your friends. They are no fit places for your sister ... or your brother. Let the southern ice keep only murderers - not our own people!
"Let a firm and permanent distinction be made between the Faeborn - the murdering, political criminals - and the innocent Reshaped! Bring our people home!"
