‘I am not as you, Urugal. I am not Unbound. You yourself closed the chains about me. By your own hands, you saw to it that the souls of those I have slain will pursue me eternally. You have shaped my haunting, Urugal. Beneath such a curse, I can never be unbound.’ ‘There is place for you none the less,’ Urugal said, ‘in the House of Chains.’ ‘Aye. Knight of Chains, champion of the Crippled God.’ ‘You have learned much, Karsa Orlong.’ He stared down at his bloodied hands. ‘I have, T’lan Imass. As you shall witness.’
