“Knighthood can be fine, boy. You felt the mud beneath you when you fell? Sometimes it’s just that - mud and dirt and blood, and not all those wildflowers you slip into the Queen’s saddlebag.” - Ryman Sunglass
Did I ever tell you that you have my father’s name? He was the first person I went to when I killed my first man. I was thirteen, and he told me that it never gets easier. That was a lie too, though. It does get easier, if you’re not careful. I let it get easier. Abelar, I want you to understand when I say that I don’t think you will.” - Benfred Tanner

“Knighthood is harder to live than your stories may say, as are vows. One day you will discover that." - Ryman Sunglass
