Sjach walks up and addresses the tribe, delivering the speech with expert skill.
"Life is hard. You have been told that your lives are meaningless unless you fight. You were taught to fight without honor, without anything but victory in mind. Your lives are worth more than that."
"Your mutations have taken from you many choices. Of where you live, of what you can be. Today I restore those. As of today, no one will tell you who to worship. As of today, I will seek to restore what was taken from you by Grimhew and those like him. Ones that only saw you as mutants and warped."
"I see lizardfolk. I will bring you back your pride. But you will have to trust me."
"Those who do not like my vision will be allowed to leave. Those who wish to challenge me for leadership may step forward. I only insist that you listen to Sjach, and think about my words."
"There are no more slaves in this village. Tomorrow, we will start rebuilding. Tonight, I have food for the entire tribe."
Thirwin will look around, "Now is the time to challenge Sjach if you wish."
