While he holds his speech in Kalstand, all measures are taken to relay it to all corners of Greater Aerdi, be it magic or messengers.  "People of Aerdi! Today is a day of sorrow, a day of tragedy! For the gods are gone. No longer do Hextor and Heironeous guide us in war. No longer is Pelor extending is warm smile over the lands. But today shall not be a day of despair! It shall not be a day of surrender! For all is not lost, if we but stand together against the coming storm! We shall be a bastion of stability in the coming anarchy, a beacon for those who fear being lost! We stand not alone in our dedication - other powers have the same goal as we do! Our grand ally will not leave us alone in these troubled times! He will reveal himself in time, but until then, put all your trust and hope into him! And not all gods have vanished behind a Seal we cannot comprehend. A number of demigods and herogods still remain, and like our grand ally, deserve all the aid they can get, every little prayer! Today is a day of change, a day of history! Of endings, and of beginnings! The events of today will forever be marked in history. Today is the beginning of a new era, and if we are not careful, it may be the last era we will see! Today is a day of choices, a day of unity! For we must choose our path, each and every one of us, and in unity, we shall weather the storm, master the perilious crossroads! In unity we shall SURVIVE! People of Aerdi! Remember my words, and let not outdated concepts or rivalries blind you to the necessity of unity in these days! Let no one be a foe because tradition demands it, because of past offenses! Let only those be foes who show themselves as foes. Today is the day the gods fell silent, and the mortals had to fend for themselves! Today is a day of Testing! We shall pass the test, and stay strong!"  In line with the "no traditional foes" speech, the fiends are welcomed to speak with Overking Jahren once he finishes his speech.   At a very different site, Ashardalon inspects a finely worked length of chain, delicate and ornate. Finding no flaws, the dargon returns it to a smith who is sweating with fear, and says. "You have done well. Unlike your predecessor, " Ashardalon's claw points to a well-cleaned, but still visible blotch of blood, "who thought he could pass along flawed material. Remember him when you get that urge. Are you keeping with the timeline?" "Lord Ashardalon, we should be half-way to the basic level in about three months. We cannot hasten the process much further, the arcanists..." "I want no excuses, I want timelines. And since I received that timeline, you can go back to work."</blockquote>
