->''After wreaking death on every corner of the continent, his legend disappeared at once. The invincible Hard-Tooth-Uther woke up one morning and everything changed. Blood no longer delighted his taste buds, the shrieks of his victims no longer evoked him a sweet serenade, and his fingers plunged deep into his enemeies' guts no longer gave of the smell of happy days. Another fate called him, and he happily put on the rags of Grandpa Pumpkin.''

->Look at me: this is what an ended story looks like. I was giving my life for this country, this world, before you were born. Everyone I've ever loved is dead. [[ShootTheDog I had my own brother killed]]. I have no partner, no children. I've done my good deed, and it took everything I had. I won't be dragged into another adventure. [[EarnYourHappyEnding I've made a separate peace]].

->Oh, I don't like to talk about myself much. I'm not so interesting, in all honesty. [[TimeAbyss I'm old]], I [[ArborealAbode live in a tree]], sometimes [[VoluntaryShapeshifting I turn myself into an owl]] and hunt mice. [[FamedInStory I used to be someone]]. But that was a long, long time ago, and I don't care to remember. It was a different age and the world has moved on. Now I live in a tree and make tea out of bark. Life's a funny old thing, isn't it?

->''The Golden Owlbear Society, a philosophical collective of like-minded wizards and warriors dedicated to the improvement of mortal civilisation. In practice, they’re a social club for retired high-level adventurers who like to get high on pipeweed and debate political theory, and they almost never accomplish anything of note, but they’re treated as an existential threat by many nations owing to the absurdly high concentration of power they in theory represent.''

Had cloven a man from the brow to the waist:\\
And little she knew that the loving lips\\
Had ordered a quivering life's eclipse,\\
Or the eye that lit at her lightest breath\\
Had glared unawed in the Gates of Death.\\

As a general rule, from an innocent Bride.)''
