Lion Knight saga Quotes

“Ale is the most civilized thing to a Dwarf, but to a Human it’s a reversal; a step back into a more primitive state.”

(HammerThorn)”
― C.A. Tedeschi, The Knights of the Brotherhood

“Hard as it is to acknowledge, Smitty’s reaction to death was pretty typical. It hurts too much to see a stranger die, let alone someone you love and respect. Most folks would prefer just to ride away, leave the dead to do their dying, and only afterward think on the good times.”
― C.A. Tedeschi, Lion Knight saga: The Knights of the Brotherhood

“Every critter seeks to bring about a situation, which may cause a boon to its survival. As dumb as Ogres are, they’re still natural creatures.”

“It was the savagery of their territory that diminished the clan of humans, like an old blade worked over too many times with the file. Ground down, but still razor sharp. They had lost wives, and daughters, and sons to illness, or some other malady. They lost strong men too. Men they’d known their whole lives, and ridden with for decades, were dead and buried, or at least dead, because they had stood side by side together against one savage brute or another. Worse yet, there was a time when bandits hid out in the bedrock. Human scum. They were the dregs, the cruelest kind of monster, devious and cunning, with a preference for deception.”

“The Alpha Ghur was the meanest bitch that ever bit into a bone. She had never once been mounted. She ruled over the others with a rusted, double sided battle-axe, chipped along both blades. Among hyenas the females were the biggest, the strongest, and the meanest. So it was among the Ghur.”

“We serve but one Lord now. He alone will judge our failures, as well as our triumphs. So when at last we come to stand before him, we cannot say, ‘I was commanded to do these things in the service of my King.’ Your honor is forever in your own keeping; each man must consider the weight of his actions, and choose the proper course. For a knight the path is not difficult to discern, it will be the one which confirms within you, the truth you have always known.”
