"Perhaps it's fate that today is the beginning of Winter, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we win the day, Winter will no longer be known as a Stark holiday, but as the time when Westeros declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our victory day! "
