“Everything I need to know about our past has been recorded in these old books. If I am to rule one day, then I must be educated on the ways of the world and our history. I can't bring prosperity to these lands if I don't understand the mistakes we made that got us here today. I need to be capable of planning new ways to bring in the coin, the resources, and the people.”
― Larry Dean Toler II, Fates: A Dark Legacy
