The Kheldian family is distantly (2 or 3 cousins worth) from the royal  bloodline.  While they are of noble blood, the family is known for its  martial prowess.  During the Last War, at least one Karranthi general  remarked that the Kheldians fought as if they grew up in the military  schools of Karranth.

Born in  974.  Sierra was born into a noble family of military leaders.  From an  early age she was trained in the martial skills, specifically that of  leading men into battle.  While she did learn the traditional tactics of  fighting, it become very obvious to her instructors that Sierra did  quite well thinking on her feet.  Extremely resourceful, she gained a  reputation for being adaptive and never out of a fight.

She  become the leader of her own some squad when her own squad leader froze while  being ambushed a squad of Karrnath.  Quickly pulling her unit back  together, she managed to pull most of the troops out.  As soon as word  got back to their commanding officer, Sierra was placed in charge while  the old squad leader was sent to another front for battle fatigue.

After  the Mourning, Sierra continued to serve what was left of her people.   Her goals include finding a new home for her people as Breland is just a  refugee spot and nothing more to her.  She also wants to re-establish  the Cyre nobility to the kingdom of Galifor... the 5 Nations are their  birthright...

So, there's the 'history' of my character.  Now, I'm looking for some help with some roleplaying.  I'd like to have a few ideas on short speeches for when she uses Inspiring Word and other abilities to give her a more realistic feel.  Any ideas for speeches?
