Acceptance Speech

Thank you, everyone. Today, we face triumph. We also face dark times. Although the Scourge is being pushed back, we face an even greater challenge. Even though we have collectively marked the boundaries of the Scourge, the Alliance knows no such borders. We cannot guarantee the safety of hordlings and I cannot, and will not, guarantee personal protection to anyone. The only thing I am offering is my blood. I fight against the Alliance even if it means death to the point of no return. We start the fight by looking after ourselves and each other.
Several months ago, I said in an address that the Alliance has lost all fear of us. We have started making some efforts, but they are token efforts, given our numbers. Token efforts make for token results. We have merely nipped at the heels of the Alliance, but I am going to ask more of you if we are going for the jugular. We will need to gather intelligence. We will need to organize multiple armies to make our message more clear: The message that we will no longer be harrassed. We will need to train. We will also need to call on our allies for their assistance.
The war is not being fought in our arenas, nor in Warsong Gulch. It is fought in their spheres of influence on our terms. We have fought in their towns and in their forests. We will fight on their beaches and eventually in their cities. We will fight as one Horde, no matter what races, class differences, or prejudices we have. If you want to be part of this vision, I will ask something of you: Your life.
