"Aeducan's least-quoted quote, which happens to be one of my personal favourites, is 'Reputation is what others know about you. Honour is what you know about yourself.' I'm sure you can see why it would be unfashionable in this modern age. But in order to open that sarcophagus, I had to poke those carvings in an order that referenced the quote. And all this just to stop anyone who isn't an obsessive Aeducan devotee with a signet ring from getting at his shield. Aeducan would weep with frustration at their priorities."
