“Kandol was a person of purpose, Tarik, a lord of great import with a destiny to fulfill.  The sad thing is, he devoted his life to the pursuit of knowledge, yet never understood the truth until the end.  His time in the Grove, his studies in Alyrre, his years on the Mountain of Clouds, these shaped him into what he was – a sorcerer, an Earthmage, a priest, and a healer.  But, more than anything, he was an agent of the Balance, its designate to fulfill the Prophecies.  That night in Indalle, he learned from Embyrl the truth of the threat he posed to the Dark Lord, though it took him millennia to accept it.  Jerilyn of Colcester

“Throughout history, villains like Daeryss have fallen into shadow.  He was not the first, nor will he be the last.  It’s fair to say that the Necessity of Opposition is responsible, but does that means that they’re not accountable for the choices that they made.  Does the existence of the Necessity mean that they should shoulder no blame?  Do you think we should pity them?  Or hate them for the sorrow they caused?”  Jerilyn of Colcester  

“Kandol told me about the pattern just before the final gambit.  Even then, I didn’t understand the truth until the Herald enlightened me, which, I fear, is driving me mad.  I do remember this.  There are always three Heroes.  The Warrior, the Prince and the Priestess.”  Jerilyn of Colcester

“Soon after the First Congress of the Gods, the Forge Folk’s Secondborn awakened to the ring of Dar Highfather’s hammer, Earthbiter, smiting the walls of the Birthing Chambers, nine in all, one for each of the ancient clans.  From the moment the clans awoke, they delved and they never stopped delving until Caradar’s last day.”  Jerilyn of Colcester

“After the Darkening, religion as it had been known no longer existed.  Yes, the people gave homage to the Gods and called upon them in their need, but the only true religion had been the Maiden’s and that was based upon preserving the World Walker’s Seals.  Once the Nightbringer broke free and She fled Sangrar, there was no need.”  Jerilyn of Colcester
