Gentle folk of Middle Earth. You have been called from your comings and goings, from your work and your play, from your positions of nobility within your peoples, to join us in creating an army to resist the dark lord Sauron. No one wishes for these times, no one embarks on such a journey willingly, but such dark times as these are upon us.

Numerous other Kin Lords are answering the call as well. We will equip and we will train and when the time comes we will be ready. Ready to join the rest of Middle Earth to decide our fate.

I know a number of you are uncomfortable, this gathering of Elves, Dwarves, Men and Hobbit folk into close proximity can create some tensions. But you need to put aside your differences for the greater good. Infighting and dissension will not be tolerated. Exercise self discipline. Understand that these folks who have gathered have a common fate and purpose.

When the hoards of Sauron descend upon us, when the darkness covers the sky and blots out the sun, you will want to know who it is that stands beside you. You want to trust that they have got your back.

Treat each other with respect. You have no idea who it is that you are greeting. Is it a person of nobility? Is it a person of renowned military exploits? Or is it just someone like yourself, called during these times to leave the comfort of home, of family, and of familiarity to answer the call to save Middle Earth.

Your officers have been carefully chosen. Chosen for their proven leadership and for their exploits in battle. Many are persons of nobility within their own peoples and all hold great respect among their peers. Give them honor and respect. Heed their direction and pay close attention to their advice.

Thank you all for joining us,

Lord Rmoin
