In the ruins of the Rock Bottom, a wearied Julian Fryar makes a brief speech to those assembled. Sanctuary suffers terrible losses, but we will endure. Through discipline, unity, and faith alone can we combat the evil of Sslal'teesh.

We stand on the brink of destruction. It's only through tragedy that we realize the bleak environment we face. While we remain aware that danger surrounds us we fail to react strongly enough without tragedy.

I am guilty of this. We're all guilty of this. But now we know. That reality has been brutally and painfully returned to our attention.

We have no excuse now. No excuse to sit and drink away our troubles. Sslal'teesh threatens us all. Every defenseless women, and child. Every freedom loving Seeker, and law loving Watchmen.

Sslal'teesh threatens us all. They want us to return to their city in chains!

I urge every one of you not to forget those who fell today. Not to forget the reminders of our flagging vigilance. Through unity, we can overcome any force the Sslal'teesh can send against us. Every man and woman of fighting age take up arms and volunteer your services to the Watch. Every mason and smith to the gates. Every cook and healer to the Seekers. Every wizard to the Spellguard. Sanctuary needs the selfless now, more then ever.

Ilmater bless the innocents who died here today. Ilmater help us endure the tragedies of this barren Underdark, and Ilmater see us restored and strengthened from this travesty.

Maintain your strength, maintain your vigil, and maintain your selflessness that Sanctuary may endure.

I go tommorrow to assault Sslal'teesh, and I invite any of the righteous to come with me. We must ensure this will never happen again.
