Miscellaneous Epistolary Quotes
🕑 Added 2023-03-08 05:38:43 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Had to write these up for some earlier chapters to replace some content; as you know, I usually have a segment at the top of every other chapter with some quotes, with them half the time being about world-building.
All of these likely won't be going on Royal Road since I plan to put them into Book 1 at a later date. Some of the quotes there won't work on other platforms but are fine there, so for now, the only ones seeing this stuff will be you guys!
Hope they're kinda interesting! :D
“It is with great particularity that I do advise we come to understand one another. Our so-called ‘enemies’ within the Empire of China and those allied with them are better addressed by finding common ground to stand on with one another rather than criticizing and deteriorating this relationship.
So, I do suggest an increased effort into the diplomatic relationship between them and us in order to quell hostilities before we reach a point neither of us wishes to cross.”
-Senator Rosewell, Speech To The Senate (2067, 2nd Era)
“War doesn’t change much. But one of the biggest wars we contend with is that of fear. Very few can find themselves capable of facing this enemy and conquering it. But those that do, that find it deep within them to conquer it instead of succumbing to it are freer than any other in our world.”
-President Rosewell, Letter To Dorian (2083, 2nd Era)

Our data shows this should be possible; why is this still going wrong?
Tell them that if they don’t give me results in the next month, someone is fucking fired.”
-Dan Brovski, Meeting Notes With Sheryl Clemmence (2110, 2nd Era)
“Pay the fee in either food, tech, or with chips.
Same as the mages demand in Vega, only yous gonna cough up thrice their rate for me unless you wanna stay outside since no way in hell are you getting in without cuff the legal way.
Unfortunately, you don’t got a contract with a rogue mage like us, so you aint getting in, not less you take my deal. Aint falling for none of your bullshit tricks either; you’ll meet me and my men at the cave if you’re in.”
- Billy The Boy, Letter to Seven-Snakes, (305, 3rd Era)
“When looking up the ancients, we’re called to mind the names of Caesar, Alexander, Khan.
Those are what it is to be a conquerer, and in order to reclaim this world to the hands of mankind, we must not hesitate to learn from their lessons and take what is ours from those that do not belong here.
One day we shall claim again the surface, and when we do, we must be prepared and held together as a people.”
King Restfos Crisimus, Lessons To My Descdents (165, 3rd Era)

“With great distaste, I once more urge you to give up on your demands, as its a waste of both of our precious time.
I’m well aware of the risks my current path entails, but as I’m sure you agree, the passive stance taken over the last few years has done little to advance our position or further our goals.
This is a world of strength and momentum, and the best way to gain both is to decisively and relentlessly attack the things that matter.
There is little time to waste trading pleasantries in court.”
- Soren Crisimus, Letter Home (307, 3rd Era)
“Restraint? Hang’em all.
It’ll be damn fun!
If they wanna run off to Vega, then they can cower and hide. Then if they poke their heads out, we’ll catch’em and string’em up too.
