These Stepsons tread where mortals don't belong, some of us think. They seek out battle high above their station. Who knows what powers may yet take them and their mystic allies to task, bring them their comeuppance?

Revenge is never the best driver for a battle, but a common one.

Sometimes the cost of winning for all the right reasons is so great that spirits die and hearts grow cold.

Always take responsibility for your past. It is your only collateral in life. Unless you despise yourself now, you cannot despise yourself then. Everything you did is a part of the process that brought you here. All your past is as alive and real as your so-called 'present.'

No ethos, pursued without thought or mercy, is ethical.

Generosity is never out of season.

You're not one to take lightly, to love of for an evening and leave of a dawn.
