An Oath, a promise, a vow, isn’t just for when things are easy. It’s not just to cover the convenient cases. It’s always.

Celebrate the Year of the Dragon with 26 Dragon-y Books!
大家，新年快乐！Happy New Year, everyone!

It felt like this great—uncertainty.
It hung over The Wandering Inn. Or perhaps the entire region. Like a cloud had fallen, a black mass of snow that was too light to be anchored to the ground and billowed upwards, casting a pall over everything, growing with each day leading to—
The Winter Solstice.
Hethon Veltras hadn’t realized what he was feeling until the last few days, when it seemed to hit him suddenly. He would wake up and feel dread.
Like a hand wrapped around his throat. He would wake in a panic, tangled in his sheets, and then forget why he was worried. Even when he went to sleep, he would brush it off as nightmares or memories of being poisoned.
Then dream.
Hethon dreamed of numbers. He understood numbers. He could count the blades of grass and tell you how many there were in a patch, or see a flock of geese and say ‘there are forty-six of them up there’ in the blink of an eye.

I don't love Beneath the Dragoneye Moons but some of the lore does fuck severely.
like, immortality can be achieved but if you become immortal the god of peaceful death shows up and tells you, specifically, how you can go fuck yourself for scorning her. curse of immortality Not metaphorical in this world lol

There was a deep, primal instinct that screamed to take cover when disasters were occurring, and no matter how irrational it was, home was the safest place.

Oh sure, if we spent five minutes on each decision we’d make better ones. Making a mediocre decision right now was better than a perfect one minutes from now, especially when five seconds was too long.

"Everything is a business transaction. You’re happy, you got something of value. I’m happy, I got something of value. It’s hard to quantify just how much you’ve gotten from this, just like I won’t quantify how much I’ve gotten from this."

"There were plenty of Rangers with notions of fair play. They’re dead. I have no notion of fair play. I’m retired. Do the math. It’s much, much easier to say ‘I’m sorry, I screwed up and hit or killed the wrong person’ than it is to attend your own funeral. Attendance is mandatory for that one."

I had never been called an otter before, but if the highest-level human in existence wanted to call me an otter, I’d swim on my back and carry a pebble.

I want to get into something I call ‘corollary truths.’ That is to say, if A is true, then B must also be true. A simple example. If a suspect has told you that they bought a loaf of bread from the baker in the morning, it means that the baker must be open in the morning. It means the baker must have bread in the morning. It means the baker sold a loaf that morning. It likely means that the baker was baking that morning. All of these can be investigated. If the baker only sells bread in the afternoon, it means the suspect was lying. Then you must ask yourself, why was he lying? What did he have to gain?

The second weakness of slimes - just walking away. We couldn’t kill it, but slimes weren’t known for their terrifying speed. Just their resilience.

I dunno how much you know about warfare, but healers are a high-priority target. They’re soft. Easy to kill. Kill the healers, and attacks become deadlier. Killing is no longer mandatory, but crippling works even better. After all, a cripplied warrior needs to be looked after, taken care of, fed, housed. However, when a healer’s around? A crippled warrior is back in the fight the next day.

Conventional wisdom says to not fall in love with mortals, or bind with creatures with low lifespans, but… sometimes life just happens.

"Something worth knowing about Immortals, is as a rule, they treat Mortals and Immortals differently. If another Immortal has a problem with a Mortal, well, the usual answer is to just ignore them. They’ll die out soon enough, as long as they don’t do something stupid like attack you."
