->''"In [[MagicalLand Umbra]], being alive is basically a constant struggle to stay at the top of the food chain. The weak are killed by the strong and the strong get challenged, defeated, and killed by the stronger. Things weren't always like this. We Monstrums used to watch over each other and protect those who couldn't protect themselves. But when [[EvilOverlord Lord Vile]] became king, it became survival of the fittest. And when you're the son of the King of Monsters, you get used to living with a target on your back."''

->It is said the greatest warrior-kings may sublime violence and forget all they learn about the sword. This is true. But the only true path to kingship lies through regicide.

Updated Sylvain's quote


->''"I've been thinking about how we've got our own ideas about justice...and so does the Kingdom. And what's coming, it's not just a battle between us and them. It's our ideals that are fighting. Whoever wins will say they were right and the other side was wrong. And I get it. That's how it goes... But nobody's willing to talk or compromise, so we'll fight to the death to prove the other guy's wrong."''

->"Justice is subject to dispute; might is easily recognised and is not disputed. So we cannot give might to justice, because might has gainsaid justice, and has declared that it is she herself who is just. And thus being unable to make what is just strong, we have made what is strong just."

->''Gold is for the mistress -- silver for the maid --\\
Copper for the craftsman cunning at his trade.\\
"Good!" cried the Baron, sitting in his hall\\
"But iron, cold iron, is the master of them all."\\\
So he made rebellion 'gainst the King, his liege,\\
Camped before his citadel and summoned it to siege.\\
"Nay," said the cannoneer on the castle wall\\
"But iron, cold iron, shall be master of you all!"\\\
Woe for the Baron and his knights so strong,\\
When the cruel cannon-balls laid them all along\\
He was taken prisoner, he was cast in thrall,\\
And iron, cold iron, was the master over all.''
