The curious effect that the Black Sword has on individuals is one that I find poorly recorded. It is true that many feel nausea when picking it up, which is a sign of a heart uncorrupted by greed. Others are, then, corrupted by that greed. Most interesting are those in between. Those who feel neither emotion. Those who can use the sword, but walk a fine line upon its edge. —From Knights of Wind and Truth, page 266
