Hello, MG! I'll cut straight to the point: the Dol Amroth Captain speechbank is horrible. It sounds like some roving mercinary is trying to pawn off his troops. However, I'm not the kind of guy that whines about a problem without trying to fix it!

So I made a new Swan Captain speechbank. I hope you'll run by Mevans (should you deem it worthy, of course). I'm sorry if I sound overly bold in asking Mevans to do this, but all it really requires is a direct copy/pasting into the speechbank file. . . there's obviously not any coding or anything invloved.

How goes the war, Lord #? Need some new troops?

Hello, Lord #. Come to hire some of my warriors?

The Prince has deemed your loyalty sufficiant for the hiring of Swan Knights. You'll need some coin to cover their expenses, of course.

My warriors are some of the finest in Middle Earth!

When knights such as these take the field, hope is stirred in even the most troubled hearts of men!

Well, if it isn't the renown Lord #! It's an honor, commander! Are you intrested in hiring my warriors?

Are you intrested in hiring a few of my warriors? Of course, Lord #, but I'll need some coin to cover expenses

My men are the finest warriors in all Gondor!

Fair and stern, my fine warriors trace their ancestry from the noble blood of Númenor.

Upon their grey steeds in full harness, with gilded banners bearing the White Ship and Silver Swan, my knights are a sight to behold!

The blood of Numenor is nearly pure in our people, Lord #, you'd be hard pressed to find any finer warriors.

My men serve the Prince of Dol Amroth.

Believe me, Lord #, there are no better warriors in all Gondor then these men.

I would be proud to allow you some of my warriors, I need only a small fee to cover their expenses

The Prince has deemed you worthy to hire his warriors! A great man indeed you must be, Lord #!

Looking for strong knights to bolster your ranks? Look no further!

From the plains of Anfalas to the forests of Ithilien, my men will fight for the glory of Gondor!

Hail and well met, Lord #! Do you need more troops for your company?

Hiring my knights is an honor The Prince entrusts to very few, #. You have proved yourself worthy!

'''While I was at it, I made a new addition for the Swan Knight speechbank. Again, these next two are an ADDITION, the current speechbank for Swan Knights is fine.'''

Greetings, fair #! It is good indeed to see you in the land of the swan.

Hail and well met, #, what brings you here?

Be on your guard, #. We do our best to keep the darkness at bay, but Umbarians have been sighted on the coasts.

What tidings, Lord #?

We have heard much of your deeds, #, and it is an honor to have you in the land of the swan.

We are the Bulwark of the West, we men of Dol Amroth, keeping the foul Haradrim and corisairs at bay.

We are men of high blood, we men of Dol Amroth. Unlike the men of Anfalas and Lossarnach, we hold true to the ways of Númenor.

From whence have you come, #? We do not often see travelers in these lands.

These lands are beautiful, are they not? They remind me of Numenor of old...

Have you seen the city of Dol Amroth, #? The sun hitting Tirith Aear in the light of dawn, the silver bells ringing, and the soft morning mist settling in the harbour... a sight indeed!

How goes the war, Lord #?

Have you ever met Prince Imrahil, Lord #? He is tall and fair with sea-grey eyes and dark hair. The blood of elves runs strong in his veins!

It gives us comfort to have a warrior such as you in our lands, Lord #.

From what I have heard, you have traveled much. Tell me... have you ever been to fair Lorien?

We still have high blood, we Knights of the Swan! Like the knights of Numenor of old, we shall crush all those who threaten Dol Amroth.

May your journey be blessed by those who sit upon the thrones of The West.

The Sea! The Sea! More fair then any city or palace!

Watch the coasts, #, one never knows when the corisairs will strike.

The men of Umbar were once like us, #. But they intermarried with the Haradrim and became twisted with hatred towards Gondor...

They are little less cruel then orcs, those Southrons, and far more skilled in combat!

Have you ever been to Edhellon, #? It is beautiful, but it has fallen into disrepair since the elves left for yonder shore.

The lords of our city are decended from Imrazor who wed an elven maiden many years ago.

The Sea! The Sea! I've seen much in my years of knighthood, but still nothing more fair then the sea!

Have you come to help bolster our ranks, Lord #? We need it sorely.

We are skilled in combat, we Knights of the Silver Swan, but the power of Gondor is fading...

Once Gondor stretched from Rhun to Harad to Rohan! Can you believe that, #? Far indeed have we fallen from the glory of old.

Once the Southrons were under our firm command, but those days have passed, and they have long since ceased to fear us.

'''And here's additions for the hostile Swan Knight speechbank. '''

Death to you, black scum! We will drive you back into the sands from whence you came!

For Swan and Tree!

In the name of Amroth, I shall slay you!

Be gone from these fair lands!

For the prince!

For the silver swan!

Come to ransack our lands, #?! You will get nothing but cold steel!

Taste the steel of my elven blade!

Run back to the black lands you came from, wretched scum!

You attack me as a boy with a stick and a willow bow would threaten a mailed knight! Go home, you pitiful fool!

We are not normally violent folk, but you have driven us to this, #! You shall die!

You are no match for a warrior of the silver swan!

You and your kind will die before my blade like wheat before a scyth!

Death to you, #! Death to all your kin!

Foul Southron! You will fall before my sword!
