Despite the fatal mistake he made and his excessive cruelty, Delsahid still remained an inspiring figure. Not someone whose behavior should be fully emulated, even by his biggest fan, but someone whose achievements are worth looking back on. In another culture, he might have been deified and declared a god of warfare. Not everyone is capable of creating a combat style that not only stands the test of time but also gains immense popularity in a future empire. But that doesn't mean it wasn't something worth striving for. Perhaps one of the most striking examples of how hard work pays off.
