The Senate [Concluded]

[Secura]

Commander Secura
of the Military Faction
Consul of the Senate

Lords of the Senate!

Firstly, I thank you for honouring me with the position of Consul and I will be certain to put it's powers to good use; furthering the just and righteous cause of our noble republic!

As you are no doubt aware, our forces were successful in our campaign against the barbaric heathens on the northern reaches of our borders; a small number lie dead to the savage tactics of the enemy, but for every life sacrificed by our courageous soldiers, many more have been saved here in Roma.

May they be remembered as heroes for their unquestionable loyalty to the republic and may they serve as a reminder of our own duties.

Unfortunately, this hard-fought victory has been tarnished in these very halls, marred by our former Consul who publicly paraded through Roma as though he was responsible for our triumph.

Let it be known that the military will not tolerate any man claiming the glory of victory for his own when it is a victory for the entire empire; I hereby call for punitive repercussions against the Religious faction so that they might learn from their mistake.
