‘Truth and falsehood are two different beasts, as different as the lion and the lizard. They are complex animals and they share many of the same features – they both have four legs, two eyes, and a tail. Yet you cannot mistake the one for the other. I know the truth when I see it, and I know the lie.‘
– Odysseus, to Hektor, Fall of Kings
‘We can excuse a demon who stalks the night seeking blood. It is his nature, he was created for just such a purpose. But not a man who by day commits acts of murder and by night returns home to be a good, loving husband and father. For that is evil of a monstrous kind, and casts doubt upon us all.‘
– Owen Odell, to himself, Morningstar
‘Heroes are people who face down their fears. It is that simple. A child afraid of the dark who one day blows out the candle. A woman terrified of the pain of childbirth who says, “It is time to become a mother.” Heroism does not always live on the battlefield.‘
– Karis, to Pooris, Dark Moon
