Kimmuriel Quotes

“Lolth was within every reasoning being, that dark and selfish side of the mind. A disease, an infection, most often suppressed to a great degree. But not when Lolth got these beings under her thrall. Then the malignancy did grow, and the dark thoughts emerged. Even as he considered that, Kimmurriel better understood why Lolth had tried for the hive mind multiple times-and was probably still trying to infect the illithids now.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Relentless

“Lolth holds the motivations of an infection, a disease, not a goddess. She does not guide. Rather, she afflicts. She yearns to find that within each of us that is chaos and unleash it, and she will take whatever path she sees most clearly to inflict her glorious catastrophes.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Relentless

“The loss of Jarlaxle and the others, which seemed more likely than not, was hitting him harder than any loss he had ever known. He had been more outraged at the fall of House Oblodra those many decades before, but even with that catastrophe, even with the loss of his mother and family, he had not felt like this. For now, for the first time in his centuries of life, Kimmuriel Oblodra realized a profound sense of sadness, a level of grief that wouldn’t even allow him to plot or scheme around it, whether to find some manner of revenge or to better protect himself from any repercussions. None of that even seemed to matter at this time.
He was just sad. Nakedly so.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Glacier's Edge

“Take him home, Kimmuriel. He is piquing the interest of too many now, and I fear his antics might lead them into situations that will confuse the entire collective!”

Another joke? An exclamation spoken aloud and with passion? Kimmuriel had been desperately worried about subjecting his dearest friend to the intrusions of the mind flayers.

Perhaps he should have been more worried about subjecting the illithids to the sensibilities of Jarlaxle.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Glacier's Edge

“You think to turn these prisoners to our cause?” asked Jarlaxle.

“These little acts of mercy,” Drizzt said, then looked at Kimmuriel and emphatically clarified, “when and where we can offer such, will cost us little and possibly bring great rewards as the war continues. Let the priests and wizards of the houses of our prisoners scry for them and learn that we are not acting cruelly.”

“They’ll think it weakness,” Kimmuriel warned.

“Some will, and perhaps some will not,” said Drizzt. “And then that will be their weakness. But more importantly, we know the truth of it. We’ll fight this war and win this war, but we must do so without losing our own souls, else what’s the point?”

Jarlaxle appeared impressed and looked to Kimmuriel, who didn’t argue.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Lolth's Warrior

“There were a few moments like this for Kimmuriel Oblodra, when he almost reconsidered his life’s journey, when he saw so plainly the difference between the sensibilities of the hive mind and those of Jarlaxle. His only friend.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Relentless

“There was no sense of gratitude, no thoughts of hope that Kimmuriel would succeed. It just was. There were a few moments like this for Kimmuriel Oblodra, when he almost reconsidered his life’s journey, when he saw so plainly the difference between the sensibilities of the hive mind and those of Jarlaxle. His only friend.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Relentless

“Is this illithid hive mind your god, Oblodran?”

Kimmuriel paused and considered that. “It is not all-knowing, but more knowing than most, for what we hide with spoken words we cannot hide within ourselves. A god? No. But it and its illithid limbs comprise a library of truth, where no lie can exist without it being known as a lie.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Relentless

“Kimmuriel informed them that to the illithids, Lolth was not a goddess at all. She was a manifestation of malevolence, an infection. Lolth was a bitter bit of a reasoning being promoting pride and envy, greed and power, but nothing more. She was a whispered internal lie coaxing the speaker and listener, one and the same, into a deepening gloom.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Relentless

“Consider this part of your journey a growing experience,” Jarlaxle explained. “You don’t have your son’s scimitars anymore. Do you think I would allow my second—”
“Kimmuriel is your second.”
“He’s the other half of my first. In my part of Bregan D’aerthe, in my, shall we say, personal journeys, you are my partner.”
“You called me your second. Now I’m your partner? And does Artemis Entreri know of this new arrangement?”
“We’ve a fight coming. Are you going to argue about everything?”
“Titles matter.”
“What would you prefer?”
“Your better,” Zak said, and he pulled the eyepatch from his head and tossed it back to Jarlaxle.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Starlight Enclave

“Yes,” said Kimmuriel. “I have lived for centuries, hiding away in the hive mind or in a library, trying to make sense of that which, ultimately, I cannot, for these destinations can only be answered when the road is finally traveled. But now I believe that I have come to the limit of my potential understanding of this unknowable matter until that final journey.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Starlight Enclave

“A combination of helpless resignation and sheer numbness from the daily assaults and atrocities is a deadly mix to the emotions of any drow. But these days, a sparkle in Kimmuriel’s eye. Now he comes to ride with me, to speak with me, to hope with me. That is the key to his awakening: he dares to hope.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Starlight Enclave

“Torture her?” Kimmuriel said with a dismissive laugh.

“It can be very effective.”

“Effective at ruining every alliance you’ve forged. You, I say, for I’ll have no part in any such thing.”

“You have changed, my friend.”

“That is my hope. But even if I hadn’t, I don’t think you’ll get much from torture.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Glacier's Edge

“I am Oblodran,” he answered. “And we were trained to accept the intrusions of the hive mind as the door to our greatness. Yet these centuries later, the first time my mind was scoured still haunts me. I try to forget about their intrusions, but they are with me often, and usually without warning. A smell, a notion, an action, something I see or hear—anything at all can bring me back to that experience. It tries me and chases me in my nightmares—and again, I submitted to it willingly! For Azzudonna, this act, forced upon her against her will, would utterly break her. Irrecoverably, I am sure.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Glacier's Edge

“I hesitate to take Azzudonna, this woman I barely know and know not at all as a friend, and you expect me to subject you to the intrusion of the hive mind?” “Why, Kimmuriel, did you just admit that you love me?” Jarlaxle teased, but the psionicist was having none of it.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Glacier's Edge

“In his mind, Kimmuriel heard Yharaskrik’s unspoken thought, 'He fornicates with dragons!'

“Jarlaxle sees his entire existence as something to be enjoyed and explored,” Kimmuriel said.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Glacier's Edge

“Hehehe,” Jarlaxle laughed in his best Pikel imitation. “Doo-dad!”

“I will leave you here forevermore,” Kimmuriel warned the annoying mercenary.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Glacier's Edge

“Look at your friend, Jarlaxle, teeming, simmering, bursting—soon quite literally—with the energy he gathered in the corridor. Like a lover stopped before the moment of joy, he begs for release, but unlike a lover, he will horribly die if he cannot find it. Perhaps Kimmuriel has found some good fortune here.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Lolth's Warrior

“I am lesser without you, my friend,” Jarlaxle told the image. “Both practically and in my heart.”

It is the way of things.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Lolth's Warrior
