Thought Elder Quote by Steven Erikson
““Do you recognize the Warren, Tool?” “Warrens, Adjunct. Tellann, Thyr, Denul, D’riss, Tennes, Thelomen Toblakai, Starvald Demelain . . .” “Starvald Demelain, what in Hood’s Name is that?” “Elder.” “I thought there were but three Elder Warrens, and that’s not one of them.” “Three? No, there were many, Adjunct, all born of one. Starvald Demelain.””
