Knights of Tezoth

- If your opponent is valiant, there is little reason to fear defeat, but if cruelty is in his nature, then everyone will wish to escape the victor's will. I fear, my dear, that this alone may influence the character of future alliances.

— Fearlessness in defeat may weaken one's will toward that outcome; while a bluff of cruelty may send one down the path of hasty ruin. An ideal alliance, I fear, will be hard to find. However thorny the inevitable course may be, my lance and heart are always for our domain and personally for you, my lady.

- My gratitude for such loyalty knows no bounds, - the lady places her slender palm upon her knight's face, - but it would grieve me greatly if wounds or worse befell you, so I ask - be careful and do not neglect your life.

— Life is dear to me as well; it is one and once squandered, no new chance can be found. As long as the baseness of chance or the loyalty of duty does not abandon me, I shall strive to keep Your Grace from sorrow. — Alsira bowed her head.

— I see, however, that the everyday throws us toward the luxury of ever-new spectacles. Slaughter for amusement's sake, like any conflict, is somewhat alien to me; the beauty of character and style will remain closest of all. But as your sole protector today, presenting our native land with as much discipline as possible seems to me a weighty duty in every regard.
