— I am an old man, and my words are wise. It is good to be strong and hold power in one’s hands. Even better is to refuse power if it is needed for the general well-being. In the old days I sat beside you, Tantlach, and my voice was first in the council, and my opinion was asked in all matters. And I was strong and mighty. I was the greatest man after Tantlach. Then the Foreigner came, and I saw that he is skilled, wise, and great. He was wiser and more skilled than I, and I understood that he would bring more benefit than I do.
