Tomanak: You truly are stubborn, aren’t you?
Bazhell: Aye. It’s a lesson my folk were overlong in learning, but learn it we did. I’ve no notion how long twelve hundred years are to a god, but they’ve been mortal long and hard for us, and never a sign of you have we seen. You talk of wars, and struggles, and eternity, and that’s as may be, but we’ve no use for ‘eternity’ when it’s all we can do to be keeping our families alive from day to day! No, Tomanāk, it’s no use bidding me to bow down to worship you, for I’ll not do it.
Tomanak: I haven’t asked you to—and that’s not what I want of you. Don’t misunderstand. Worship is a source of power, but it’s a passive sort of power. Belief is something we can draw upon when we face another god or some task only a god can perform, but it’s not very useful in the mortal world. Or, at least, not by itself. Did you think I wanted you to sit around in a temple and tell me how wonderful I am? To bribe with incense and gifts? To get down on your knees and ask me to solve all your problems? Oh, no! I’ve too many 'worshipers’ who do that already—and even if it was what I wanted from you, you’d be a poor hand at it!
Bazhell: So I would. And if we’re both after agreeing to that, then why should I stand freezing my arse in this wind while you jaw away at me?
Tomanak: I don’t want your worship, Bahzell, but I do want you to follow me.
Bazhell: Ah? And where’s the difference, if you don’t mind my asking?
Tomanak: We need followers, not just worshipers. We require people—warriors—to fight against the Dark, not just people who sit about and ask us to.

What I can and will do for my champions is strengthen them when they need it. Their decisions are their own to make. They know my Code and their own hearts, but it’s the exercise of their own wills and their reliance on their own courage which makes them champions. A warrior who’s led by the hand and protected from all danger becomes a shell. If I make them less than the best they can be I betray them… and leave them unsuited to the tasks for which I need them, like a blade that’s lost its temper.

Bazhell: You’re after being a good man, Tothas. Don’t be shaking your head at me—and don’t think it’s in my mind to flatter you. You’re no saint, and a dead pain in the arse a saint would be in the field, I’m thinking! But you’ve guts, and loyalty, and a readiness to understand, and those are things even a murdering hradani can value. But I’m knowing how sick you are, what it is that loyalty’s costing you. So tell me, Tothas—what god is it you serve, and why?
Tothas: I serve the Gods of Light. Oh, I’m sure others serve them better, but I do the best I can—when I’m not feeling sorry for myself. I thank Orr for wisdom, when it can get through my thick skull, and Silendros for beauty, when I have the eyes to see it. When I’ve time for it, I sit on a hill somewhere out in the plains of the South Weald and look at the trees and grass and the summer sky and thank Toragan for them. But I’m a warrior, Bahzell. It’s my trade, the thing I do best, and its Tomanāk I follow. The Sword God can be hard, but He’s just, and He stands for the things I’d like to stand for. For skill in battle, for honor and courage in defeat, for decency in victory, and loyalty.
Bazhell: But why? Oh, aye, I can respect those things, but why turn to a god for them? Why thank a god for wisdom when it comes out of your own head? Or for beauty, when it’s your own eyes that have the seeing of it? Or for guts and loyalty, when those things come from in here [his huge hand brushed Tothas’ chest] and not from out there? [the same hand rose and gestured at the skies] You follow them, yet not one of them’s reached down to you and said, ‘This is a good man, who’s been after doing all I ask of him, and I take his illness from him.’ Not one of them, Tothas, and still you follow! That’s a thing no hradani would be understanding. It’s not my folk’s way to ask others for aught. We’ve learned the hard way that it won’t be given, that there’s no one and naught to count on but our own selves when all’s said and done. What we have, we build or take for ourselves, and spit on 'gods’ who’ve no time for such as us. A man looks after his own in this world, Tothas, and it’s lucky he is if he can do it, for no one else will.
Tothas: That sounds to me like a man who’s angry at what he hears himself saying.

I believe there are gods worth following. I don’t understand all that happens in the world, but I know evil could never flourish without the Races of Man. It’s us—we’re the ones who turn to the Dark or the Light, choose which we’ll serve. Good people may do terrible things through fear or foolishness or stupidity—even spite—but what if there were no ‘good’ people? What if there were never anyone to take a stand, to say, 'No, this is evil, and I will not allow it!’?

During his brief life, he never thought that his life would end like this. Kang Chul was angry and felt that his life had been in vain. But in last moment, he suddenly thought of one word: ‘Come-from-behind-victory’. Kang Chul decided to keep fighting until he found the true culprit – he wouldn’t be able to take back his own life.

Trust was a two-edged sword. When one was trusted, one must prove worthy of being trusted… trust had transformed an arrangement forced upon him by expediency into something far more constraining. But there was a curious satisfaction in the transformation, a sense of belonging, of doing something worth the doing because those doing it with him were good people.

Good-bye Jack. My dearest Jack. Oh, how I hope my premonition is wrong.
🎶
I sense there’s something in the wind
That feels like tragedy’s at hand
And though I’d like to stand by him
Can’t shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice
My feelings for him?
And will he see
How much he means to me?
I think it’s not to be.
What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I’d like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn’t last
And will we ever
End up together?
No, I think not
It’s never to become
For I am not the one.

Rumor is a terrible thing, and not following these men we’ll all reach the same conclusion, that you’re a coward and a liar putting your life above theirs.

Weakness was the unforgivable sin. It wasn’t enough that a man had "done his best” when defeat meant death, not just for himself but for his fellows. If his “best” wasn’t enough, he must be driven—goaded—until it was; if he couldn’t be driven, then he must be discarded.

Fantasy is also a good place to play with concepts of good and evil, of responsibility and morality.
