Inspiring Leader
Losing the Battle: Be not satisfied with such middling effort. Spit your cowardice upon the enemy’s boots so that they might tread in it!
Surprise: Sky to earth! Do not let the unforeseen sway you.
Rallying Cry: Sisters and brothers, see now the face of our true enemy: fear! Swell upon them as a crushing wave. Together! Forward!
Upon Victory: Our enemy is no more. Look at those standing beside you—remember their faces. We are all strengthened by this victory.
Blood-Encrusted Veteran
Losing the Battle: I didn’t split the skulls of giants to die a trembling reed!
Surprise: By the blood, what shape of hell is this?
Rallying Cry: All is blood and time! We have had our fill of neither! Fight! Fight!
Upon Victory: There it is…I missed it so; no bedmate can compete with the beauty of a fleeing and sundered foe.
Cunning and Vicious Strategist
Losing the Battle: Now we must discard the chains of propriety. Cut fast and wickedly such that their ancestors bleed anew in their graves.
Surprise: There, what new twist comes up from the shadows?
Rallying Cry: Let the gods turn their heads in shame, they are mere spectators. Be monstrous! Be victorious!
Upon Victory: Our plan brings us victory. The cost? Well I’d rather be alive and accused than dead and virtuous.
Powerful Elementalist
Losing the Battle: The hardest stone wears to nothing if the water is patient and moving. Keep patient—keep moving.
Surprise: The sun has seen something new today!
Rallying Cry: Yes, Yes! The sky cracks like stone. Here is the storm—here is the nightmare!
Upon Victory: Though the footprints of this battle will fade, we have left an immortal mark on the earth. Keep the storm in your heart; ride it home when this life ends.
Faith-Filled Devout
Losing the Battle: Signs of defeat? This? This is a pebble’s ripple upon an ocean. Maker hear me! Maker see us!
Surprise: Be not shaken! Hold to the form of your faith!
Rallying Cry: Maker strengthen our resolve! Set our innards aflame that when we are cut, our very blood burns our enemies!
Upon Victory: The mystery is revealed; to doubt is to be defeated, to cause doubt in the enemy is the ultimate victory.
