Only one chance at first impression, got to set a tone

With your companions seated you look over the elves who are now your subjects. You have a demographic problem. The youngest of the elves look to be in middle age while the majority looked to be late middle age to venerable. You knew from Illenwyns wish that the ice elves had not been able to reproduce do to the deamons curse. Looking at things you were likely to late… assuming you couldn’t work something with magic. That would require some research and planning but maybe if you put your head together with your companions you could come up with something. For now it was time to make an impression.

Keeping your head at a regal lift and tilt. You let your long tail slide of the plinth and fall to coil around Illenwyns shoulders the tip coming to rest across her breasts, yes you were openly and blatantly staking your claim they could get with the program or get out. With your ice elf queen blushing slightly at the blatant PDA you began your first address.

“Greetings, you who I have freed from the grasp of the deamon. Your Queen has already paid the price to break the curse of infertility upon your people. To do so I will use the spirit of the very deamon who cursed you. I will restore to you the future he stole when you only wanted to be free of cruelty. Your people have been fates whipping boy for to long. Your goddess taken from you, driven from your home to the harsh northern reaches, betrayed by one you honestly bargained with for his amusement, then when you sought to free yourselves from that cruelty you had your unborn children, your very future legacy stolen. Have the other gods offered you salvation? Have the supposedly mighty dragons of this world offered you assistance? No, you had to gamble on an unknown, to pray the sacrifice taken on by your courageous queen would buy your future back.”

You had them on their toes. Ok so far so good time to set the hook and hope they took it. “I will honor the bargain struck between queen Illenwyn and myself. She has agreed to become one of my precious companions. Indeed, she has gone so far as to bind her very life to mine to staunch a wound I suffered as I arrived.” No need to mention that the wound was self inflicted to have more power. “To honor that dedication, I will not only break the curse I will strive to turn back the cruel hands of time so you may all regain that future you were so cruelly denied. I must prepare now with my companions as this ritual will require tremendous power and exact precision lest it fail. I ask you all to find lodging within the castle and town below. Also, please begin planning for the future and look to how you all can do. I hope that you all will form the core of my new kingdom and help me build this place to be the core of a nation that’s power will span the length and breadth of this world!” You let your voice rise to a roar at the end and you can see the fire kindling in the eyes of the ice elves. As you roar they raise their voices with you. You definitely got them fired up. You will need to be careful as when someone who has been beaten down for a long time if suddenly given power can get mean as hell and you really do not need to be trying to manage that on top of everything else.
