ngl good speech but the point is lost in the fact that you seceded from Asgarnia

Yes, am utterly confused. Is Joanna advocating for Burthorpe to rejoin Asgarnia?

"Asgarnia First" implies she is loyal to Asgarnia, but supporting the Lord Protector would be counter intuitive to that considering he just advocated for fighting against the Greys and stated no interest in rejoining Asgarnia.

Meanwhile at the gathering of Taverley Guard, laughter was heard after the Lord protector's speech! Luke would step up to his men with a grin.

"He's done it, he's gone and done it now. We expected him to insult us, but now he's insulted the druids, the very population of this town, By Guthix if we didn't have the people on our side before against this tyrant, we most certainly do now. I urge you to keep talking against this regime, the more they lock up, the more they will anger the people and reach their own demise more swiftly. Now let us go forward, and in Guthix's name restore balance to this land. We shall not be ruled by a petty thug, not us proud Taverley people!

Though I understand that the majority of druids may not raise blades against these people, I would be honoured if they kept refusing to pay tax and refusing to be silenced by this oppression.

LONG LIVE TAVERLEY, LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!"

I leave you to interpret it how you will.

However, it is worth noting that she never did specifically state an advocacy for reunification with the Kingdom of Asgarnia; the speech is intended for the Asgarnian people, rather than any state. Hi, I'm Dan.

So, she's speaking to Asgarnians in the "free republic" of Burthorpe that is supposedly separate from Asgarnia, whilst simultaneously advocating for Asgarnia, after the Lord Protector deemed Asgarnia a threat.

Okay, got it. ;) :P
