They will perish, all of the enemies armed against the Goblin people. They will perish, all the factions that rely upon their power in order to destroy them. The Dark Elves do not make peace, but give it to the Goblins, taking it from the hands of crime.
The approaching prospect of the Goblin's strength offered itself to the sight of the frightened Elves, and they decided with their accomplices that the time had come to destroy them.
They believed, in fact, that in order to destroy them, or to change their principles, it was enough to remove them from other Goblins, and from the Dark Elves to whom have been especially confided the care of overseeing their salvation; they believed that in throwing into the tomb the spirits of Talic, Meandor and Inioch, they would emerge triumphant and deliver the Goblins to permanent discord, to the empire of Elves and Humans, and to the mercy of Orcs.
They once hoped to succeed in starving the Goblins; but the Goblin people still lives and will survive all its enemies.
Let us then rejoice and give thanks that the Gobins have showed such strength as to have been judged worthy of extermination.
A few months ago I said to the other Storm Lords: “If the armies of the Gobins are victorious, if we unmask the crimes of the keepers, if we put down the Goblin's oppressors, they will assassinate us.” And I was not in the least astonished to see my prophecy realized. I myself find that the situation in which the enemies of the Dark Elves have placed me is not without its advantages, for the more uncertain and precarious are the lives of the defenders of our ancestors, the more independent they are of Man's evil.
I only hold to fleeting life by the love of and thirst for justice and, separated more than ever from any personal considerations, I find myself better disposed to attack with energy the villains who conspire against us and Meandor.
I have lived long enough... I saw the Goblin people rise up from degradation and servitude to the heights of Glory and Freedom. I saw the chains broken and the guilty thrones that weigh upon the earth near to being overthrown by triumphant hands.
