Standing before his throne, the King addresses the assembly once again.

"I hereby order each Free Company in the realm to hunt and collar every witch they can find. No rumor shall be dismissed and no quarter given. We must scour the lands. It is a bloody task, and not one I command lightly. But I am certain that if I do not, I would be ensuring the deaths of thousands and the loss of our great city. You shall have until the new moon. At that time, we shall march into the Heart of Darkness, witches or not. We have only one chance to succeed. Failure is not an option."
