I guess you should quote and credit someone who was good at speeches, like the way you passed Aelius' message. The idea that the dead remain conscious and wish the well-being of the living is encouraging. It also gives a notion of continuity with a previous culture instead of simply starting from nothing.
Am I allow to make more characters? Ignore this if I'm not:
Ladies and gentlemen, residents of this resilient city, and esteemed friends who have journeyed from afar to stand by our side,
In the quiet echoes of devastation, I speak to you not as a distant voice but as a shared spirit, one bound by the threads of sorrow and courage. Though the shadows of tragedy now loom over us, let my words serve as a beacon of hope and encouragement in these darkest of times.
To the survivors who have weathered the storm, your presence here today is a testament of enduring strength. We find ourselves in the aftermath of a merciless attack, an assault that sought to shatter the very foundations of our home. The pain is deep, and the wounds are fresh, but remember this: the strength of a city is not measured by the height of its buildings or the grandeur of its monuments. No, the true essence of a city lies in the resilience, courage, and unity of its people.
In the face of this unspeakable tragedy, I urge you, my fellow citizens, to rise above the ashes and rebuild not the structures that once stood proudly, but the very soul of our beloved city. We may have lost much, but our collective strength remains untouched. It is in times of adversity that the true character of a community is revealed.
To our dear friends and allies who have come from afar to extend a helping hand, your presence in our city during these trying times is a beacon of light that pierces through the darkness. As the fallen mayor, I express our heartfelt gratitude for your selfless dedication to aiding us in our hour of need. Your generosity and compassion remind us that the bonds of humanity are stronger than any force that seeks to tear us apart.
Your willingness to stand shoulder to shoulder with us, to lend your expertise and support, speaks volumes about the power of solidarity. In the face of tragedy, you have not hesitated to offer assistance, and for that, we are profoundly grateful.
With deepest appreciation,
Tandam Woldhead.

(What generic terms adequately replaces "humanity" and "human spirit"? It's difficult to talk about a collective nature without those...)
