As crowned heir of King Gerlant FlameSword, I think I may also have a word on Fire and as my coat of arms and motto show plainly, my family never feared either Light or Truth, so I will not fear you or your rented spearmen, especially because I'm here on the Quest to save my own fatherland. You’ve mentioned your past deeds and exploits, I can just oppose my future duty: with volunteering and brave champions, we are searching the Sacred Weapons of Saint Talor the Laughing Warrior to restore Peace upon War and Life upon Death. I just wanted to warn you that in the West, some moon-worshippers have shown me an inclination to confound honor with personal desires, to betray long and close friendship and to use perturbing deceiving speech and seseinite magic to follow their own agenda without any respect for rank or

Name it Darkness, Storm or Frenzy, but the Cosmos will choose its agents among the most ardent enemies of Chaos and any associated forces will be swept to nothing once again. I’m not a follower of pagan or heretic religions but equaling Ehilm with the Red Moon seems to me a dangerous analogy.

"King if New Seshnela, eh? I have heard of those lands, or at least
without the prefix. Yes, it is true the moonfolk are tainted. The Moon
is close to night, night is close to Darkness, and Darkness is close to
the Father of Demons and Demons are close to Chaos. One only has to
witness the perverse and sensual activities that occur under the blanket
of night to realise this."

"But if your prediction comes true it will be bad for all. Right or
wrong, the Moon is part of the Sky and the Sky covers us all."

I hate the idea to fight you right here on the spot of such a terrible slaughter of brave men, but their death request me to do everything to prevent a new Krajki battle with you around. On the other hand, I need all reliable allies on my way. You’re from Sun County and the steps of our Fellowship are condemned to lead us beyond Prax, a harsh and wide desert if I trust the maps I have consulted… a cruel fate for sure but a necessary one if I compare with the probable doom of nations crushed by the merciless Kingdom of War.”

"You mistake me and these troops for nothing but a mercenary force? We
fight for the Empire of the Sky. We will fight alongside the Lunars
whilst their cause is good; but we will stand aside when their.. madness
afflicts them."

"Beyond Prax? Nothing but barbarians and broo."
