“The Wookiee city of Awrathakka is in ruins. The city once climbed the tree, as many of the cities do—following the bends and turns of the trunk. The life of the Wookiees was bound to the life of the tree. They tended to it. And in turn, it gave them shelter and food and all of their existence. Their symbiosis was honored as a bond both sacred and biological. But now, most of the city as been gouged from the bark. Pieces hang. The wood is burned in places, and so are the structures that were once affixed to—or grown into—the tree. The bond is broken.”
― Chuck Wendig, Life Debt

“You grew strong over those years, and fast, until your body was no longer something you wore but something you wielded, and Lord, what a weapon it became.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Six Deaths of the Saint
