"For too long have we suffered the grievances of these pirates. They have ransomed us for profit, taken away those dear to us, and continue to maim anyone who stands in their way. We will not sit idly by while they continue to slaughter our people and the attacks persist.

-

People of Fortune, the Fleet has been defeated once before, and we will do so again. This is for all those that have been lost. Fight for them and together, we will remove this rot before it spreads further."

From Quarters of the Shigenobu's righteous residence.

Quote:

"To those who claim to be our allies, should you be a true friend and supporter of our kin, I call upon thee to assist us in reclaiming what was once this Kingdom's rightful domain.

Necromancers, undead. Deathwind claims this island to be it's own, a haven for necromancy and the dark arts. Even if it was not our rightful territory as Fortunians, we cannot allow this rot to persist. 

If you truly are a warrior against the Fel.

You will answer my call, and I will return to you that same favor when it is reclaimed. And I will not forget this deed you have done, for our clan. For our Kingdom."

A horde of Goblins and Beastkin begin to gather from the various corners of Meranthe donning the Red and Black insignia of the Nightfall Clan.
The monster hunters though no longer an official military of any city was still Monster Hunters at their core a battle that they have prepared themselves against for some time.
As they sailed across the sea, the Warchief stood proudly at the helm as he spoke to his various men and women.

Quote:

"Once again we gather for a great battle against the necromatic threat that plagues the seas of the continent. Our many battles, many hunts are embedded into that of the stories of Meranthe but is still not done. We stand beside our allies now, and remove the plague that has infested itself on the islands. To remove such a threat from these lands forever. Is might be the last time that stands before all, the last time Nomul is lead this war band into war, but know that is been a great service to work beside each and every one of the clan.

For the future of the Clan.

For the future of Meranthe.

Will be victorious!"

Quote:"PORT FORTUNE!!

WE HEAR YOUR CALL TO AID AND WILL MARCH ALONGSIDE YOU TO CLEAR THE SCOURGE THAT HAS PLAGUED THE SEA FOR YEARS!!

For too long they have been allowed to fester, and we shall seek to clear such from the continent!

For in Athelios's will, we shall purge the blights of the Lifestream on this day!"

Go on then, give it yer' best shot! We will be waitin' and at th' ready!

Someone's still on this line, I know it! Let yer' King know... I be lookin' for em'!

The original First Mate Basilisk and crewmate Hellebron won't be forgotten!

Finish what ye' started, bring it yer' majesty! Kehahahah!"

Though the activities to prepare happen far in advance to the announcement, the announcement comes all the same.
