Emperor of Sardé Jud Armillar Sardé, de Vilar a.k.a. Phoenician (fəˈniːʃn, ʤuːd ɑːmɪ́lər :zaʁ.de ðe vi - laɾ)
"I am Jud Armillar Sardé de Vilar, I am working for my people. I want them to be prosperous, and happy, but first they have to be 'not starving'. It is not complicated, starving people do no great deeds, nor trade successfully for valuable resources. Starving people trade for the food they need to survive, it is simple fact. Considering the values of my people, a famine is a tragedy. A state of despondancy, leaving those within, bereft and sobbing, sad and wanting. I wanted them out of that state, so I took a ship! A fine, fine seaworthy ship, the best of its kind, the shipwrights assured me. Any fool could tell the ship could hardly be kept to shore, even at the dock, even I could say as much. I do not know ships, but I could tell, just from the sailors fighting the mooring lines, that this ship did not sit quietly in harbour, waiting for things. A fine vessel, I asked its name, BVV Phoenix they said, the ever reborn. An auspicious name, we would be the rebirth of our people, and this ship was slated for rebirth. I hoped for much, and they did deliver."
