“That is the problem of extreme action, Duvain. Resistance to tyranny, even perceived tyranny is like water. The harder you push, the harder it is to drain. It is like an army whipping the sea. It means nothing.”

“Every belief can be logically adhered too if the original belief is deemed logical. But they all rest on certain pillars. Remove one and the entire structure falls. If you can prove that Christ never rose from the tomb, then Christianity is false. If you can prove that the universe was created with an intelligent design, then Atheisim would be ridiculous. If you can show that Mohammad was not a true prophet, then Islam will falter and fall. There have been millions who have convinced themselves they’ve done so over the years, but still all religions remain, or the lack thereof, because one must be true.”

“Hauntingly beautiful, isn’t it? No, your good eye is not deceiving you in the slightest. Solace is on fire. Your friends, unintentionally perhaps, played a role in its final destruction. Two thousand people dead. A bit of an over-reaction, perhaps. But I follow orders. No, you are not here to quip and spar with me, priest. This is one of those times you simply listen. It is a time we all wait and simply listen. People forget to do that… until it is too late. I wonder if they deserved it? We cast a whole continent under swift judgment, under the accusation of tyrants and champions of hatred. Truthfully, they were, but I wonder… What have we become? The Crimson Syndicate means many things to many people, the priests you served with, all those Atrixi you ministered to, they are all dead now. They thought it stood for tyranny and slavery. Perhaps now we do. Once though, once we stood for honor. Honor must be restored priest. I have been many things in my life. I have killed, I will even become wraith, for I will say I know not how you escaped. But I always found my way in the end. So will you.”
