*Citizens of Vallaki,

Today, we stand united in the face of darkness and despair. Our beloved home has been tested, and though we have suffered, we are not defeated. In times of adversity, the true strength of a community is revealed. And I am proud to say that I have witnessed the bravery and resilience of our people. From the valiant efforts of our guards to the selflessness of our healers and the courage of our ordinary citizens, you have shown that Vallaki is not just a place on a map, but a home built on the indomitable spirit of its people.

We must remember that Vallaki has faced hardship before. And every time, we have emerged stronger, more united, and more determined than ever. Together, we will rebuild what has been damaged. We will mend our wounds and strengthen our defenses. Let us remember that our unity is our greatest weapon, and our hope our greatest shield. We must remain vigilant, for the night is long and filled with horrors, but it is also filled with the light of our determination.

As we gather our strength and rebuild, let us also remember the bonds that tie us together as a community. Let us offer our support to our neighbors, our kindness to strangers, and our determination to face the darkness head-on. Vallaki, we have faced the abyss, and we have not been consumed. We are a beacon of hope in this land of darkness, and we shall continue to shine brightly. Stand tall, citizens of Vallaki, for we are the light that will pierce the shadows, and together, we will prevail.

Thank you, and may the morning sun bring us renewed hope and strength.*
