"...and in this way, the culture of the disfavoured came to be. idealists who allowed themselves to be corrupted. Who value their own numbers more than their neighbours who let their pride and their sense of tribal belonging turn them into the very thing they hated in the foggy distant past." 1/6
"...When I first played the game, I found myself working with the Disfavoured and ended up advancing their interests. It was Graven Ash's history and the way that the Disfavoured developed that convinced me to do it. I thought perhaps this process could be reversed; That Ash might take up the mantle of the rebel one more time if he could be made to see what was lost." 2/6
"...The opposite happened. I wounded up compromising myself instead. Following orders that disgusted me because I was biding my time, waiting for the right moment to go against the grain. In other words, covering my own ass; Prioritising myself over those around me." 3/6
"...By the end of the game, Ash passed the mantle of leadership to me willingly. Not because I had convinced him to rebel but because I had been molded into the shape that the disfavoured wanted me to be. I was able to lead the disfavoured because I had become the disfavoured." 4/6
"...What happened to Ash had happened to me—Slowly, incrementally—with me not wanting to admit what was happening, holding on to a fantasy of dissension that never came to pass. All I had done, I had done within the limits of Kyro's peace. Within the legal framework of what's morally permissible to Kyros. That's Kyros the evil overlord whose laws bring no justice." 5/6
