There was a long moment when none of the three spoke, then Delum added another stick to the fire. "It may be," he said in a low voice, "that there are no heroes among the Sunyd."
Bairoth laughed. "True. Among all the Teblor, there are but three heroes. Will that be enough, do you think?"
"Three is better than two," Karsa snapped, "but if need be, two will suffice."
"I pray to the Seven, Karsa Orlong, that your mind ever remain free of doubt."
Karsa realized that his hands had closed on the grip of his sword. "Ah, that's your thought, then. The son of the father. Am I being accused of Synyg's weakness?"
Bairoth studied Karsa, then slowly shook his head. "Your father is not weak, Karsa Orlong. If there are doubts to speak of here and now, they concern Pahlk and his heroic raid to Silver Lake."
Karsa was on his feet, the bloodwood sword in his hands.
Bairoth made no move. "You do not see what I see," he said quietly. "There is the potential within you, Karsa Orlong, to be your father's son. I lied earlier when I said I prayed that you would remain free of doubt. I pray for the very opposite, Warleader. I pray that doubt comes to you, that it tempers you with its wisdom. Those heroes in our legends, Karsa Orlong, they were terrible, they were monsters, for they were strangers to uncertainty."
House of Chains, by Steven Erikson (Malazan Book of the Fallen #4)

Currently Reading: The Crippled God, Book 10 of the Malazan Book of the Fallen.
This series is truly a masterpiece in the realm of epic fantasy— vastly varied casts of characters, strikingly unique inhuman races monsters alike, a thoroughly realized system of magic, and over 130 unique POV’s.
Ten Books is a lot to commit to, but I can confidently say there is NOTHING like Malazan.

"Why should what you prefer interest me?"
"Because, Karsa Orlong, we are within the same House. The House of Chains. Our master-"
"I have no master," the Teblor growled.
"As he would have it," 'Siballe replied. "The Crippled God does not expect you to kneel. He issues no commands to his Mortal Sword, his Knight of Chains - for that is what you are, the role for which you have been shaped from the very beginning."
"I am not in this House of Chains, T'lan Imass. Nor will I accept another false god."
"He is not false, Karsa Orlong."
"As false as you," the warrior said, baring his teeth. "Let him rise before me and my sword will speak for me. You say I have been shaped. Then there is much to which he must give answer."
"The gods chained him."
"What do you mean?"
"They chained him, Karsa Orlong, to dead ground. He is broken. In eternal pain. He has been twisted by captivity and now knows only suffering."
"Then I shall break his chains-"
"I am pleased-"
"And then kill him."

‘I have invented countless things that would prove of great value to many people. And that presents me with a dilemma. I must ask myself, with each invention, what possible abuses await such an object? More often than not, I conclude that those abuses outweigh the value of the invention. I call this Dev’s First Law of Invention.’
‘You are obsessed with laws.’
‘Perhaps. In any case, the law is simple, as all true laws must be—’
‘You have a law for that, too?’
‘Founding principle, rather than law. In any case, ethics are the first consideration of an inventor following a particular invention.’
‘You call that simple?’
‘The statement is, the consideration is not.’
‘Now that sounds more like a true law.’
The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson, book 6 of The Malazan Book of the Fallen

my brain was just like “Karsa Orlong and kuzco from the emperor’s new groove basically have similar character arcs right” and brain that is not the same matter OR energy…right?
