"You see t'at fool t'ere? I put 'im down as I would any other danger to my people. These are our lands, and wherever a pack of wolves may wander, t'eir first priority will be avoidin' us, and eatin' second. We are not a desperate people. 'roundin' me now are hunters, strong folk t'at do not wait on the grain to grow 'fore eatin'.
Our future will be filled with tales of our toils, and with pride will t'ey recount t'em as t'ey follow our Way. No longer will we maintain t'e reputation for honourless and treacherous men, but become the greatest this Empire has seen. For t'is lodge, I will gift Lord Krupp a cloak from this bears hide. For t'e livelihoods he has provided all of us, you ought to gift him your loyalty."
