My lords! My ladies. And everyone else here not sitting on a cushion! (a roar from the crowd) Today....today....you find yourselves equals. For you are all equally blessed. For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure....of introducing to you a WIZARD sired by wizards. A wizard who can trace his lineage back beyond Barely Tinkle. I first met him atop a mountain near Mordered, praying to Rod, asking His forgiveness for the hobbit wine spilt by his wand. Next, he amazed me further still in MilkWood when he saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishings of her dreadful Turdish uncle. In Gol Duldur, he spent a year in silence....just to better understand the sound...of a whisper. And so, without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you, the Seeker of Serenity, the Protector of Isthmusian Virginity, the Enforcer of our Lord Rod, the one, the only, SIR SERUTONAN VON LICHTENSTEIN WIZARD OF ES-NESS!!
