One Final War

The speech 'One Final War', was an announcement made by the Autarch of Regnum Drakaes. It was in response to Ellysian resistance to the Second Coalition, and is considered by many to be one of the greatest speeches in early Eldham history. It set off a chain reaction that led not only to the start of the Second Coalition-Ellysian War, but also the creation of the Anti-Radical Syndicate. The speech read as follows:
=== The Final Battle ===
The Regnum Drakaes, which had been granted supreme power over the Ellysian government through the Treaty of Aurica, is shocked and appalled at this turn of events. It is now awfully clear that the Ellysian Empire is nothing more than a collection of barbarians who seek to wage war upon all of Drysjian, and that logic and common sense do not apply to the average Ellysian citizen, no matter how hard Drakaes has tried to ignore it.
One thing has now been made clear to the Regnum Drakaes; one cannot negotiate with the Ellysian scourge. There shall no longer be any sort of mercy for the Ellysian Empire. Their temples shall be smashed, their cities left in ruins, their citizens impaled on spikes, and their rivers clogged with their dead bodies. This is what happens when you anger not only Drakaes but the entirety of the world of Drysjian; you get punished. We will not stop until the entirety of Ellysia, it's people, and it's culture is wiped from the face of this world.
We of Drakaes make this clear: Ellysium will break. Ellysium will suffer. And the Ellysian Empire will be condemned once and for all to the dust bin of history. Your children will bear the mark of Thas, and your children's children as well, and your further descendants. Your people shall be broken and broken over and over again until you are nothing but thralls to the Drakaen Realm. And then, you shall disappear... forever.
Reactions to the speech included a downpour of support from a good majority of nations in Eldham, as well as a childish response from Thas, the leader of Ellysia.
