May the light of Lady Ariel guide you.

People ask just what is the use of book-learning when the war rages on. They value martial prowess and a strong weapon arm over knowledge.

I can see their point. Without warriors, all will be over-run and lost.

But without knowledge, then we are fighting our way into a dark age...a time of brutal ignorance, where the strong dominate the weak.

"May you keep the light of knowledge burning."
