As the celebrations after the battle against Monacada continue, an evening or so later as you are making your way around Boston, you hear a very soft whisper come from all around you. As you take in your surroundings - it does not seem that anyone else can hear it but Initiated Sabbat Cainites.
"Greetings, members of the Sword. I apologize for this communication - It has been many nights since I have had to reach an entire diocese. I am Vincent Cross, Ductus of Ibique Ad Mortem, and I am contacting you to execute the final wishes of Cardinal Alvara Devareaux - He has bid me read you a message should he not make it in the battle against Moncada.
Brothers and sisters,
If you are hearing this know that i have died. More important, however, is if you are hearing this than we have won the day and the thing calling itself moncada has been vanquished. I want all of you to know that i am very proud of you.
I have told all of you that you were the greatest force in the world and you proved tonight. You fought like warrior poets, you fought like sabbat and won your freedom from tyranny. Though i may not be with you now know that my time in Boston was the greatest time of my life and i want to thank you for that.
Count your wounded and dead and take time to mourn them. Then take time to avenge them. The civil war must be put to an end or all of those who perished died in vain. I will not be able to lead you to the promised land of a sabbat at peace but i know through you that dream will be realized.
I am counting on all of you to see to it that this wretched war ends. I know you will not fail me as you dont know how to fail. Combined there is not a thing you can not accomplish and that makes me smile even in death.
I will always be with you and i will always watch over you. You are now and forever The Cradle of Liberty and truest Bastion of Freedom the Sabbat will ever know. Praise Caine!
Alvara Sforza D'Aragonese Devareaux
Thank you all. May Caine guide you this night and every night as we ensure that those who die for the sword do not die in vain - Those who die give their lives to preserve something greater than all of us. Those who live, who fight each day against the enemies of the Sword honor their spirit and memory.
Praise Caine."
And with that, the communication stops.
