The tentacle peoples thing. e-e

 "Qui non cadet... Eos vero qui non trepidabit... Qui pugnant et vincunt... Et imperium, et cineres umbris... Sed rursus eligi potest... nisi in mortis lucifer..."
'Those who fail shall fall... Those who oppose shall tremble... Those who fight shall conquer...The empire will turn to ashes and shadows... Only revived by the bringer of death...'
