The orc nods and stands. They speak in a thick accent, but with a fluent tongue.
"I am Rojhad Meltemoni Nogroon, Priest-Mage of Mother Nightsea and Speaker on behalf of Anora Khan, Master of the East, Child of the Stars and the Horizon. I have been trusted by my people to exercise divine guidance and properly represent the will of the gods and their children in this forum. I thank you for receiving me."
"I arrive because the Khan received word of the supposed misdeeds of Kor Vurneus against the elves, and because we were promised death if we were to assist them. That the elves think they may presume to order the Chosen of the Gods in how to conduct their personal matters is a laughable display of their arrogance. We will not be hindered from speaking our truth, and we will not cower in fear. Our truth is thus: We are here to pledge our support to Kor Vurneus and its allies should this become a military matter. We are of one mind with the Cregit - the Elven kingdoms, as they are, cannot stand. The wickedness of the elves cannot be understated. They slaughter men for minor transgressions and call it justice. They delivered death upon the Dwarves and called it justice. They abandoned their young, their kin, the most vulnerable of their people and called it justice."
"In the eyes of the gods, to turn away from the suffering caused by the unjust is an injustice unto itself. To accept the unrighteous as an unavoidable, unchangeable fact is the greatest injustice of all. We cannot wait for them to deliver their judgment upon the nations of the elves. We must be the instruments of that judgement. Perhaps it will not be possible on this day - our nation is nascent, yours are burgeoning, and time is on our side - but let it be known: should the aggression of the elves come to bear, the Nogroon will stand by the side of the righteous, and the blood of the ancients will be shed should they seek to bring death to the gentle and the decent. By the Mother of Mysteries herself, I swear it: when it comes to blows, you will not fight alone."
Their eyes swing across the room, studying the various diplomats. They settle on the Cregit.
"As for this situation: I do not come to dictate the decisions of sovereign states. I will listen, and hear what you intend to do, and offer what wisdom the gods have granted me in order to give all of us the greatest advantage in the coming conflict. Your choices this day do not affect the promise I have made. So long as righteousness remains in your hands, the Nogroon will be at your side. That said, these are my suggestions, having been appraised of the situation as best I can: to hand over the artifacts today will give us time to solidify our power bases and have a greater chance of withstanding the inevitable elven tide. We are as saplings, freshly planted, and the elves are the rolling winds on the horizon. If we are to fight now, we may bow or we may break; if we grow sturdy and strong, we will be unmoved by their wrath. This is my position, as of now."
They nod once more and sit. "Thank you for giving me the floor."
