Kharnalus Kor-Mabbon

"Hear me children! The coming times may prove to be hard. Yes some of us might not even make it. But hear this my children, even though we may suffer indescribable pain, this will in the end only serve to harden us and makes us stronger, and in turn strenghten our resolve. As the metal is beaten by the blacksmith, so too must we be hardened in the flames, for as the old teachings told us: What does not kill us, makes us stronger! Let our enemies mistake our fortitude for weakness, and let us use this as a means to purify the ignorant from our folds!"

-Ctesphon IV. The Path of Fire 24:5.
