A lectern stands on a raised platform in the town center. As usual, a fresh layer of snow is on the ground and platform, but not on the lectern. The lectern is made of some sort of wood, unusual since trees don't grow in this area, with a bird of some sort engraved into the front of it. A group of people in thick coats stand around the front of the platform, talking about various things like the market, the weather, and the museum.
A small group of Trabian guards stride up to the platform. The crowd becomes relatively quiet. The group parts and the Leader of Trabia, Ziggy Lupus V, walks up the stairs to the lectern, along with several of the guards. The part of the group cheers, while the other part shushes them.
Ziggy begins to speak: "Hello, citizens of Trabia. We have endured much through our time. We have always adapted to our challenges and changes, but we have never had a change as extreme as this one: the arrival to Darkstorm. Trabia has radically changed since its arrival."
He stops and listens to the murmuring. It doesn't bother him; it shows that they're actually thinking about what he's saying.
He begins again: "Yes, we have changed, and some have questioned if this was really for the best. Tell me, would you truly prefer to still wander with no home or, worse yet, try to live in the land we fled? We fled an uninhabitable land and arrived here, a place that, while cold, can be a home for us. There is so much potential for us here. A whole new world, nay, universe for us to explore! We have even been visited by individuals from outside Trabia; I sure most of you recall it. But... that event brought out a point that we still have yet to address...
"Are we a part of Darkstorm, or do we just inhabited it? The answer seems obvious. 'Of course we are! We live here, so we must be a part of Darkstorm!' you exclaim. But we have not done the one thing we need to do to become part of this land. We must declare this as our home and that we are a part of this land. This declaration would formalize our position so that no individual could doubt us. As the leader of Trabia, as your leader, allow me the honor to declare Trabia's position in Darkstorm! This is our place in this realm, and we plan to treat it as such! And as soon as the scribes finish recording this so it can be sent to the outsiders, there will be no doubt! This is Trabia Reborn in Darkstorm!"
The crowd cheers and claps. This make you feel a bit out of place.
Ziggy tells the crowd good bye, steps down, and waits a little while for questions.
