Sir Gustav Athebaldt:
The power of the royals has been eroding for years now. Just look at the peasants' uprising in Dion a few years ago; past generations wouldn't have dared dream of such things, and yet... here we are. The uprising planted seeds, see, and now a number of groups are preparing to claim power from the throne.
Our kingdom needs young, energetic lords like you to lead it into the future. If you would accept my aid, I would gladly give it.
"Then we will join our forces together."
