Unveiled is a famous speech given by Eian Smarth that ended the Inspired Conflict between Durandal, Ignis Fatuus, and The Valikorlian Empire. It was recorded by The Scribe who was attending the event.
The speech was made after the Vergoth had abducted Eian Smarth after the First Consul Debate. Eian was with the prisoner Friedrich Strauss who was wanted for witchcraft and murder. The Forgelord and the Lord Consul spoke a great deal and after their talk was over Eian was airshipped back to Esthras with alarming news.
It was to give a face to the true enemy and give a solution to end the doom machine of the Infinitum. All which Eian had proudly displayed as he came down overhead from the rope ladder to a gathering of onlookers.

The Speeches' title
Given by Jarden Smarth, brother to Eian Smarth, and Count of Kanoshire. He was said to have given the speech a name as he dined later that evening with his brothers.
A Paraphrased Synopsis
"People of our glorious Empire! I come to you today bearing news of much merit! Though not in the merriment as which you all so please. For I bring word of woe as well. I was taken above to the Forgelord and his brethren in the floating city, and we have reached agreement in terms of this conflict. They have formally written out a ceasefire in hopes that we in turn would do the same. And though it would serve us well to crush them for the humiliation they have laid upon us for even pondering to defy us, I have agreed to their terms on our behalf. I learned that it was not a fault of either side to the cause of this war, but a traitor in our midst. One who serves not even his own dark ways, but the Dark Goddess Dearuhk!
It was Khuraed, whose own name is a sick jest on the word of evil itself. He who is leader of the Hand of Dawn, and the one who was supposed to speak on terms of ending this conflict far before now. It is upon the dark whelps shoulders that we have a greater problem at our hand today! Of course I speak of that which looms over us like a coming doom.
Yet there is hope. As there always is in this world when it seems most bleak. And I shall not give up and be so easily defeated by the ploy of a sheep! A man without his own say! Nay! Not as long as I draw breath will the cults of the damned crush this Empire! The Forgelord has spoken that the only way to stop this 'Endgame' would be to join forces. And so we shall! Show this Khuraed that it will take more than tricks to crumble our nations, and together we shall stop this!
Once and for all."
