"Vordakai conquered these lands once, and could do so again, easily, with the artifact he possesses." Tristian

"Vordakai conquered these lands once, and could do so again, easily, with the artifact he possesses." Tristian's voice is level. "I may not survive this confrontation. If not, I would like to know who I was to you." Tristian meets your gaze calmly, but you feel a sudden sense of loss, as if speaking to a drowning man. "I need to know if I mattered to you."
