Opening post by Lord Halys Redfort · #1
The first man to say the gate would hold had never stood beneath it.
I say the first kings fell when storehouses emptied, not when gates broke.
I have heard old accounts blame bronze and betrayal; I doubt the scribes counted winter grain.
Nobody can prove whether famine began the wars or merely finished them.
Watch your larders, reader; steel spends quickly, hunger spends everything.
