Crydee Quotes

“Pug reached the northern edges of the Empire and, leaving his Tsurani
guards, set off across the Thun-held tundra. The strange centaur-like
creatures, who called themselves the Lasura, sent an old warrior to
converse with Pug. The creature revealed the existence of dwellers in the
ice and ran off declaring Pug mad. Pug at last reached the glacier, where
he was met by a cowled being. The Watcher who greeted Pug took him
down below the icecap to where a fabulous, magic forest existed. It was
called Elvardein and was twin to Elvandar. Pug discovered the Watchers to
be elves, the long-vanished eldar, or elder elves. Pug was to stay with them
a year and learn arts beyond those he already had at his command.”

“The most wise and powerful, numbering the greatest Spellweavers and scholars, were the eldar. They were the caretakers for all that their masters had plundered from across the cosmos, arcane works, mystical knowledge, artifacts, and riches. It was they who first began fashioning what is now Elvandar, lending it magic aspect.”
― Raymond E. Feist, The Riftwar Saga

“The old warrior reared up, like a startled horse, and Pug’s own mount shied away. “Then, mad black one, northward go. Death waits there. Find that out you shall. Those who in the ice live none welcome, and the Lasura no contest with madmen seek. Those who do a mad one harm are by the gods harm done. Touched by the gods you are.” He dashed off.”

“Pug’s guide raised his hands to his hood and slowly lowered it. Pug’s eyes widened in wonder, for before him stood a creature unmistakable to one reared upon Midkemia. Pug’s expression was one of open disbelief and he was nearly speechless. Before him stood an old elf, who with a slight smile said, “Welcome to Elvardein, Milamber of the Assembly. Or would you prefer to be called Pug of Crydee? We have been expecting you.”
― Raymond E. Feist, The Riftwar Saga

“What is this place? Who are you, and how did you know I was coming here?”
“We know many things, son of Crydee. You are here because it is time for you to face that greatest of terrors, what you call the Enemy. You are here to learn. We are here to teach.”
― Raymond E. Feist, The Riftwar Saga

“The elf motioned Pug toward a gigantic platform. “There is much you must learn. A year shall you abide with us, and when you leave, you will come to power and understanding you only glimpse now. Without that teaching, you will not be able to survive the coming battle. With it, you may save two worlds.”
― Raymond E. Feist, The Riftwar Saga

“It was expected that one day Tinuva would join the ranks of the Spellweavers, for his mind was showing more and more skill in using the native magic of his race.”

“I am not your brother. My brother Morvai died the night you were created, eledhel. And you know all that I have been since the day you left, as I know all that you have been.’.”
― Raymond E. Feist, Honored Enemy

“Tinuva sighed again. ‘Then there is no more to be said,’ he replied, but now his voice was full with power, power as Bovai once remembered it and it sent a thrill through him. For this was the Morvai he had once loved, but whom he must now slay, and all the glory that had once been Tinuva’s would now be his. Honour would be restored, the clan would again be whole, and Tinuva could be buried as a brother who had finally returned, through death, to his own blood.”
