Character: Duchess Ahilyabai Kariyahamma of Abdenaj

Kafasali fell when I was a girl, and yet its limp corpse still flails about in some form or another. The shadow of the Taryaad Saramsaasan still hangs over Naavjagarad, as does the kingdom of the 'Painted', but neither is worthy of the praise they are given.

The ancient ways of our people are as old and as strong as the Kharadans, unbroken by the Murtuy ka Varha and the troubles of kings and queens. We are not content to be bled dry like the fools to our south. We will stand alone.

No more kings
