"I advise you to avoid Braeless, my husband. His battle wound does not heal well, and the constant patrols cause him great pain, only further blackening his mood. Still, many are not so fortunate-their wounds can never heal. We remember their names and deeds, and Ashak burns a flame in their honor..."

"When the aliens descend upon we, they shall gather we and cleave we thus into two clans- "eaters" and "breeders."  Take great care to be of sound mind and strong physical temple so that yee may remain alive as a breeder.  The slovenly, sickly and gluttonous shall surely be consumed." --Islene, upon the banks of Rickett's Falls
