Ialle Ergusen, The Demented Prophet
(he stands beside you, as you crank and pivot the cannons...)
-More blood has dried in this desert than you, your ancestors or the shadows of men have ever even known. Many men have I killed with mine own hands; I carry great wounds and uncountable scars. It is said that the one who brings victory in battle shall be revered beyond all others. Victory, plunder and conquest! That is what is desired above all things! The old wizard Morgenthau of Khimaire called it Animus Dominandi. Your Odalisque is just a slave. A slave! A concubine, a subjugated captive, the spoils of some pillaging raid. Yet even a slave can be sly, conniving, treacherous; is it not said that a slave is as emperor over their own doings, whenever their master looks askance? Men think they are free when they follow her... but to follow the Temptress is to perish in the blind embrace of one's own demise. The Odalisque - she is the weakness that enslaves men to worldly lust, to the Cult Of Liberty... Just as we were betrayed time and time again before. She shall never be the Maiden Messiah!
