The larger test of character is not how one behaves when riding high, but how one responds to adversity. How high can you bounce after hitting rock bottom?

The loss of Rheims was a significant setback, but Rheims shall rise again. This I promise you!

From perseverance comes greatness.

With the ruin of Rheims in the background, our miners connect up the iron even as the forest spreads itself near Paris.

This time around, the road to Rheims will be completed on time.

(The road to Rheims? Or the road to Rhymes? ... Ack. Don't get me started with the poetry, now!)

This time around, we will go forward with metal implements, and none shall stand before us.

60AD and all is made right in the world as New Rheims rises from the ashes.
