Lieutenant Valaron Sunellar:

Most of my life up until now has been based on but a single belief. A belief whose merits I have recently seen myself forced to question.

War is not about participating, it is about winning. There is no honour to be had, no glory. There is only win or lose, and few men will not compromise themselves for an edge. Sanctuary is at war, however cold it might seem, and has been for some time -- yet our greatest enemies shall not be found without our walls.

The war we fight is the same. It is the weapons we have made use of that sets us apart. If you can teach me how to wield your weapons you may consider me a student. If not, brother in faith, then let Tymora look upon you with favour, for I guarantee that you shall need it.

You remember how to reach me.
