“I disagree, Jerilyn.  I could have sent one of my sons, I suppose, but they were the perfect choice.  The evil in the Shadowgrim was the Traitor risen anew and no one knew him better than they did.  I knew that they were up to the challenge and history has proven me right.  I’ll admit, it may have been a bit selfish on my part.  After so many had taken the Path, I was not eager for my sons to leave my side, but that was secondary to my decision.  I did not underestimate them as others did.  I had witnessed their strength firsthand.”  Kandol Elf Lord
