Quotes

Karaz Ankor is the foundation stone on which the whole world rests secure, the wall against which all dangers break, no matter what those Elves claim. It may be cracked in places, broken in others, but still it stands defiant. And if you value your lands and lives, manling, you‘ll pray on your scrawny knees to your Ancestors that never ends. ~ Stannok Stoutaxe.[1]
