=~VIOLENCE-=

~Why do you shrink from this violence? A great victory has been won today.

-You're no stranger to blood. You're no stranger to death. This is all in line with what we've taught you.

~Why, then, do you weep?

-Remember what they would've done to you and yours. Remember why you called us for aid.

~Shall we count up the dead? Understand: only one and a half people have you slain here today. The rest were unbelievers and evil men, no more to be esteemed than beasts.

-Rejoice, Makann! You've brought victory to the Assurhab. You've saved your people from enslavement and destruction.

~And you have made them powerful. Each one of your warriors is worth three of the Da'mir.

-This is what victory looks like. This is the beginning of the new age. Peace will come after the war.

~Take leave of this place, Makann. Return to your people. They will need your guidance.

-You've destroyed this army, Makann. You've knocked the Da'mir off-balance. A good start for the uniter of the world. Now it's time to take your defense to offense, and to take the fight to the enemy.
