“Every time there was conquest, it brought trade, new ideas, and inventions. They made civilization evolve to new heights. Humans soar on the wings of our violent nature. There's no other way.”
Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“Humanity's savageness is what makes it civilized. Technology, trade, computers, space travel. All are products of competition and conflict.”
Adam Burch, Song of Edmon
