“WHEN WE SEEK TO RULE ONLY OURSELVES, WE ARE EACH OF US KINGS.”
― Nicholas Eames, Kings of the Wyld

“Watch this!” he said, and what happened next might have been extraordinarily funny were their lives not at stake. But they were, so it wasn’t.”
― Nicholas Eames, Kings of the Wyld

“Did you think they did it alone?
Built whole armies,
and conquered thrones?

Constructed promised lands
that would outlive the sun
resurrected prosperity from ash and bone?

A crest is not just a manmade thing
it is also created by generations of women
who wield swords through guile and letters.

Show me your kings,
and I will show you the queens that willed them,
that bred them, and taught them to do better.”
― Nikita Gill
