“ There are crimes for which a man is not killed, but chased into the wilds, away from his home and country, to not return or be killed on the spot.

This is the punishment for people too obsessed with their own prestige.”
“ The more you dominate your life to a god or goddess, the more you gain magical powers from him or her, but the big stuff does not come easily. Most worshippers have only the weakest of spells.”
