Passions:

- Ending the Age of Leaves before the world is consumed. Leading those who cannot abide the Green to Ruiz. Returning to the Tapestry to show them exactly what they wrought, and find whoever would join me.

- Finding out whose weapon I am. Disconnection embodied could burn much more than a tree. So you wanted a weapon? That sword is now at your throat.

- Reuniting the Church of Contradiction, inasmuch as unity is something it would embrace, and leading it through whatever chaos is to come.

- <strike>Finding the last Name to complete my Mastery of the Jewel before the end.<strike> Using the Jewel and every resource at my disposal to master my destiny and that of the Ill Winds.

- Embodying the Flame I have been given with whatever help I can find and whatever Flame that cannot stop me. I am closer to Flame than ever before; I must see how close. Burning our enemies away like so many cobwebs.

- Passion.

- Discovering my other aspects, and the nature of my being. Seeking out the connections that burn.

Convictions:

- Contradiction is nothing to fear or fight. To live is to contradict; embrace this, and be whole.

- Silence is golden; the solitary mind is free. Silence can be a powerful mercy, and an invaluable friend.

$ Embrace or reject your roles in the matrix of interconnections; weak, untended, or spiritually debilitating links must be culled.This is where we burn the dross away and emerge, fully ourselves.

- It isn't such a bad thing to be a leader of men. I can do this. Unto the breach, dear friends.

Relationships:

$ Thurdha - I'm watching you. I will not be bound by you or anyone else.

$ Skia: She must succeed. The Paradox is ours. If we didn't shatter our bonds to wield it ourselves, how free are we really?

$ Genfyllid: She will make the journey. Her Envy must not get the best of her before then, though, or we might all be lost.

The Jewel: Done. Let's go. LlunethanMasteryplan

The Church of Contradiction - Capable, passionate, and unpredictable. In the delicate rituals that follow, that unpredictability must be managed.

Paradox - What are you? What can touch you and not be changed?

The ashurite Tapestry: Speaking to them one at a time isn't going to work. They made me, and now they will hear me. I will reclaim my birthright.

Ikara: She and hers will steal victory for us.

Llunethan's order: I had thought they would find a home among the Sathers. Are they really so different?

The Sword of Rushing Water - Mastering it to Blasphemy will make a weapon that truly befits a Contradictor.

The Satherian Veil/Satherian Loyalists -- In another life, I might have been the Foot. Perhaps my order will find work and security among them.

Lyson: And people say I'm an abomination?

Rain and Brain: There's got to be an easier way of going about this. Physiology is so unreliable, especially when one can see the ties that bind.

Caernath Torchtail: Reunited at last. Time to be who I am.

Hollow Jack: Our benefactor or our master?

Pestilence: Are we fated to join against the Green? What Flame burns and does not cure?

The Champion of Flames: He was never my friend. I owe him nothing. "The answers you seek can be found elsewhere more easily. Moreoever, your lingering loyalty is a byproduct, not real. Let it die. Let /him/ die. And your old self."

Llunethan: We are a single thread. No way but forward.

The Champion of Leaves: I see why I should hate her, and know that he loved her -- I just want to stop her. It's no longer personal.

Mao: Wary. I am new, and he is curious.

Elginis: Quiet. I respect that.

Cuniaim: Has not suffered fools for eons. I should be so lucky.

Valeriya: Rescue accomplished -- is there no island of stability where we can leave her?

Old Barrish Maggan: Gratitude mixed with pity; it's probably too late to show him the larger picture beyond reverent banditry.

Mubranth Moore: You'll get the hang of freedom yet, poor bastard.
