Count Ytttinis Speaks on Father's Death

The Death of Lord Rutland, 1st Baron Yttinnis, saw his son Collin taking over the baton of the Peerage and Federal Representative of Tapanauo. Due to his fathers remarkable and unmatched service, Collin was elevated to Count to reward utmost loyalty. Now titled, Lord Rutland, 1st Count Yttinnis, the Count was in central Yttinnis today to deliver an address to crowds of Tapanuans.
"My fellow Tapanuans, I speak not as a Count of today. I speak as a Count of my father, who deserve the title. And I wear the title in memory of my Father and as a permanent reminder of his loyal service to this Empire. It is so easy to admire a person, to admire what he or she stood for or stands for, and yet shrink from cutting off the mission of the present. The challenge, friends, is unity. The struggle to keep each brother together is not just a struggle of our time, but a struggle of time prior. My father strived and seeked to find a solution to it. He fell short. Now the baton falls into our hands. Our responsibility. Our job. The challenge of our time.
I have no political agenda. I am not Conservative, Liberal, Social Democrat or the like. I am a Falleen and a Tapanuan. I am deeply conscious of the added responsibility which I take on. I have the feeling that I have been made answerable for the future of the people of Tapanuo, for if there is no peace for the majority of them there is no peace for any one. I can speak on behalf of an entire people when I submit our plea for peace, harmony and unity. No man can accomplish alone the task spoken of today. It takes the entire effort of us all.
No man is the enemy of another in this land. We're brothers-in-arms and brothers who share a common bond in love, friendly and loyalty. Calm the tension. Remember your Union, Empire and Emperor."
