Zog Cabal Invading Britannia

Lord British was taking a speech to the citizens of Britannia, which could be heard throughout the whole realm and on all the shards at the same time. Therefore he placed "transmitters" in most of the towns, for he could not appear everywhere at the same time. Here's his speech:

'Hail citizens, friends... Fellow Britannians.

Tis with an angry heart that I speak with thee tonight. For We Have Been Betrayed!!! The entire realm.. every living creature, great and small...We face dangers each day. We are not cowards to cry out at the first sign of hardship. But the Zog Cabal hath gone too far! By attempting to cast the Armageddon spell, they have shown They mean ill to the entire realm. To each and every one of us. Though their motives remain a mystery, there can be no doubt as to their willingness to try again. And with any future attempt, the Zog Cabal will at best learn better how to correct their mistakes... at worst, render Britannia a total wasteland.

With this dread knowledge comes responsibility. Responsibility that none dare ignore. The Zog Cabal and every being who claims membership with this fell company are enemies to us all! Thus I ask all Britannians to aid in the search for the Zog Cabal. Seek ye any sign. Any clue. Aught at all which may assist us in finding the lair or leaders of the Zog Cabal. Any member of the Cabal who is captured should be brought to the Court of Truth in Yew where they will be thoroughly questioned. With the Virtues to guide us, I will have every Zog Cabalist brought to justice! Their fates will be tempered by Honor and Compassion, but they will threaten our lands NO LONGER!! Suffer not the indignity of such vile fellows and ye will be stronger for it. I wish now to speak of another matter. One of different focus but of no less importance.
With the earthquakes brought on by the Zog Cabal, we have discovered a new land.

As yet only a brave group of six adventurers hath been sent to explore this uncharted wilderness, including CrawWorth, who hath long been a warrior of high virtue. As word of their findings wends it's way back to us, it hath become clear that more exploration will soon be necessary. To that end, I ask all stalwart warriors, mages of renown, mapmakers of great skill, healers, rangers, scribes...All who art filled with Valor... to heed this call. Many art needed, yet I have full confidence that greater numbers than are required will be willing to volunteer.

To all of ye, I offer my deepest thanks. Fear not if ye are unable to join these early explorers. For if all goes well, any who wish it will be allowed to aid in the eventual expansion of our realm. A bulletin board will be posted to allow ye application for early exploration of the new lands.

Seek ye secure.owo.com/beta and utter the code "noneshallpass". I give my personal thanks to all who accept this duty. And also to all who possess the desire to accept, yet were not called upon to such office. Thank ye Britannians! And Fare Thee Well!! Seek ye secure.owo.com/beta and utter the code "noneshallpass".'
