As I have mentioned in a previous work, I, Lamathrath of the Nexus, hold no love for footnotes, however the one ephemeral piece of literature that I hold close to my heart is that of the proverb. And, like the many wise sages of the Primary World, the wise ones of the worlds which I chronicle hold pearls of wisdom from the Master. Thus have I compiled this brief collection of their wise sayings. -Lamathrath of the Nexus

The measure of a leader of a nation is not avoiding going to war but in never giving his enemies cause to attack. -King Rothgaric of Irminsul

A paladin without faith is like a hilt with no blade. –Balladin of Silvardrassil

The greatest battle is fought not on the battlefield but in the heart of the warrior. -Almiras the Warrior
