Read on for Lord Recluse’s address to the villains of the Rogue Isles - celebrating our triumph over the heroes of Paragon City!

Potential children of destiny, our combined might has triumphed over Statesman’s futile attempt to subjugate us! Against overwhelming odds, our indomitable strength has vanquished those heroes that dared enter our dominion. With invincible determination we have repelled the zealot Statesman and his mindless minions, proving that we are a force to be reckoned with.

Though much blood was shed last night, let us feel no pity for those who did not survive to revel in our ascendance. They have forever gained their place in history as the mighty horde able to turn back the armies of Longbow and the Freedom Phalanx from our shores!;

But beware - as we exalt in our glorious victory, let us not become complacent.

We have won this battle but the conniving Statesman and his odious disciples will not cease to plot against us. This was not a decisive victory and the war is far from over. Many of our best have spilled their blood onto the soil of the Rogue Isles and we must not let their sacrifice be in vain.

Our enemy is tenacious and single-minded so we must remain ever vigilant against any attempt on their part to gain a foothold here. The heroes of Longbow and the Freedom Phalanx must be prevented from increasing their power, no matter how insignificant, for even a small tip in the balance could lead to disaster. Rather than all out assault, we must be on guard against their duplicitous machinations as the heroes turn to more insidious means of infiltration.

You are the destined ones, future custodians of this empire, so take heart in our victory, revel in our glorious triumph, and steel yourself against the inevitable battles to come.  We shall not be enslaved!

All hail Lord Recluse!
