Eternity is a long time, spirit, and in the hands of Loth it will feel even longer.")	
RQ("El-Dynnith Salfilien","Yew know, if I was a betting Hafling, and I'm not, but if I were, my money would be on that shifty looking ice elf that hardly talks, no offense to yew of course, yew seem to be a perfectly respectable ice elf.")

It is not simply a matter of the benefits reaped through their labor, as spouted endlessly by less wise advocates of the institution. Nay, the importance of slavery lies in its kindness. There are many brutish and uncivilized men and women incapable of understanding or abiding the purposes and meanings of law who would do harm unto themselves and others if left to their own devices. As slaves, they threaten no one and are afforded both protection from themselves and a means to live. Look to my own kind, for they provide plentiful example: wherever stupid, violent orcs are not enslaved, they live lives of hunger and bloodshed.

RQ("The Pronouncement of Fate of a seeker by Ded Jak, the Seer of the Dust Road in Haven.","There are fires burning in the South. There are Dragons in the North, there is Trackless Sea to the East... and Darkness in the West. Yer road, Traveller, is a fell one indeed.")

RQ("Galandrahad, the Evil Giant", "The elves are wise to take their time. There is a price to pay for hasty action. The elves are foolish to take their time. There is a price to pay for lack of action. Evil has come to Felkin Taure. Its name is Galandrahad. Soon all will know it.")
