Men and women of the Keep
This Keep has held its purpose since the begining of living memory on
Algoron. We are more than the stone and mortar that is the edifice that
gives us hearth and sanctuary.
It is the flesh and blood, the ideals and perserverence of the men and
women that have served this Keep, melded with its mortar and stone,
fortified by our Code, guided by our Measure, nourished by our Virtues,
that have endured this Keep, and will continue to see it endure into the
eons that lie before us.
Each of you, whom have given of yourself to this Keep, accept the thanks
and gratitude of this Keep and its officer cadre.
As we move forward, the Lady Shield shall elaborate on a more formal
structure of recognition of service and achievements, however, this does
not ignore the contributions made over the years, months and weeks past.
Without that which was given so freely, and with such stern measure of
devotion, this Keep would not stand today, certainly not with the vigor
and purity that sees us still the valiant force that holds the line for
good on Algoron.
I thank you, men and women of Gareths, this Keep thanks you.
And in the quiet still of peace and tranquility, that the citizens of the
free kingdoms of Algoron enjoy, they too thank you, the fine men and women
whom, stand ready to do violence, that they need not.
d'Aggravaine, Crown.
