I am keeping it because, for the first time in my 22 years, I am on the verge of doing something that might interest a reader.” — “Very often such disputes pit brother against brother, and I suppose that is why, a decade ago, my father decided that our family's entire farm in Amycon village would eventually be inherited by my older brother, Valicos son of Valicos. My significantly less valuable share of the inheritance, given in advance, was my education. That got me work as a marketplace scribe, which is hardly how I dreamed of spending my youth. But I make slightly more than I spend, and perhaps one day I can fulfil my parents' dream of returning to Amycon and taking a wife.” — “Istiana's agent, Zorgan, was a merchant here. He was very curious about my travels, especially about prices and availability of goods. He spoke mostly about politics. His outlook and prejudices reminded me of my own father (Valicos Sr.) - when things went wrong in a kingdom, it was always because the Prince, hungry either for power or the adulation of the mob, had refused to listen to the wise old men.” > &emsp;&emsp;<br> ![[encyclopedia_calradica.gif|center|300]]<br> >*“A massive `Mount & Blade` wikipedia.”*<br>About [Encyclopædia Calradica](About-the-Encyclopædia.md)<br>About the [Project](Project-(Pillar).md)<br>About the [Author](Horseapple.md) <br>&emsp;&emsp;
