"Variks sees suspicion in the Slayer Baron."

"Can they trust Variks? Perhaps he still desires to be Kell of Kells, yes?"

"After all, many died to make it so."

"It is true that Variks wanted power. Not for himself, but for all Eliksni. To build a new home, filled with peace."

"But Variks lied. To himself and his people. He was misled by Darkness. And he lost the way of his House."

"And many terrors were born of his failure."

"Now Variks is humbled. He remembers he is not a Kell. He is a Scribe!"

"House Judgment is not the way of fighting or ruling. It is the way of keeping history. Promoting justice. Teaching hatchlings."
