“Even though we don't admit it, every single one of us aspires to be like somebody, whether they live in the world today, within the bard's lyrics, or on the pages in the Library”
Evan Meekins, The Black Banner

“We can't change the world by shouting, but our words can have meaning if we give them enough respect.”
Evan Meekins, The Black Banner

“it's through the simple things in life, through its games, when our minds mature the most and we grow knowledgeable. It's also when the cloth masks of our outer, false personalities are torn asunder, and we are able to see every last blemish of a man's genuine character that they hide beneath... no matter how dark or obscene it may be.”
Evan Meekins, The Black Banner

“It had become their creation, and they all would know it.”
Evan Meekins, The Black Banner

“Milcas raced out his door, anxious to find the answer to this riddle and discover the source of hope for a Roegan in Fargranther; the propellant of an unheard of, forgotten, impossible, and by all accounts, damned idea.”
Evan Meekins, The Black Banner

“The dominoes of fate are falling down as we are speaking, and Ferriar knows what will happen when the last one crashes down.”
Evan Meekins, The Black Banner

“Do not forget about the butterflies.”
Evan Meekins, The Black Banner

“They were rebellious through their artistic expression and their uplifting spirits”
Evan Meekins, The Black Banner
