Radovid V - Defender of the North

Journal entry

 * (...) and so the emperor’s brutes crossed the Yaruga’s waters. Yet this splashing was but a foretaste of the ocean of Temerian blood they would yet spill. Black has swarmed over our sweet Temerian soil, like ants swarming a drop of honey fallen in their path. Emhyr’s cutthroats adore their master and long to emulate his desecrations. The Nilfgaardian onslaught will spare no one. Under its sun-adorned banners hide dark hordes, cackling with anticipation, gleefully practicing how they will prance on the graves of our elders, women and children alike…


 * Good folk of the North! The time has come to unite! Forget our past feuds and quarrels! There is but one foe, one despicable to us all! Let us spare no blood, for each drop spilled might save the life of a brothers.


 * Yet is there any man who will not yield before their frightful charge, before that mass clad in plate black as pitch and stinking of the blood of the raped and murdered…?


 * I tell you there is, brothers and sisters. There is one man whom the loathsome foe frightens not one bit. A man who, armed with wisdom, courage and cunning, can give fight to the southern plague. That man's name is Radovid V. The Stern, they call him, and in this we are blessed, for only such a man can turn back the deluge of iron and steel, send it rushing back whence it came. Mothers, weep not for your sons! Death for a noble cause is an honor every man should embrace. Let your menfolk gather round the banners of Redania's ruler, for he is no longer just Redania's - he is the proud commander of the united forces of the Northern Realms!
