J.B. Lion
“To insinuate that I would break an oath that I made to the ALMIGHTY for my own personal gain is an insult. An insult to me and an insult to the Order. An insult, worthy of death.”
J.B. Lion, The Seventh Spark: Volume One – Knights of the Trinity

Voltaire
“It is not inequality which is the real misfortune, it is dependence.”
Voltaire
