"Perhaps I could interest you in a gremlin's loin cloth, or an orc nose ring? You sir, what do you say?" Rotherham said to a young boy with a finger firmly inserted in his nose, who was certainly not qualified to be called a 'sir.'

StormWhiteHD (#9)
"I see two paths before us. One is well trodden, yet every time we have taken it, we end up back where we started: defeated and bloodied. But there is a second path. I do not know where it leads, or what dangers there are along the way, but I know in my heart that it is better to take the path of uncertain fate, than the one of glorious, yet certain defeat. There will be no war, my friends. We will honor our agreement with the king." - Dwarven Elder
ThaneThornton (#10)
"It is people like you that give me hope for reconciliation between dwarves and men" - Uhtred

“I know I've never told you this, but you are not my apprentice, nor a burden. You are my son Fletcher, even if we do not share the same blood. I am proud of you, prouder that ever tonight. You stood up for yourself, don't be ashamed of that.” - Berdon

"'We aren't as powerful as them. Even the second year commoners will have an advantage over us. How are we supposed to win?” Seraph said.
Fletcher took a deep breath and looked him right in the eye. 'We train.'

""I see you've brought your two nannies with you," Fletcher said, wracking his brains to think of some way out of there. “Three against one is it? Why don’t you fight me like a man? Oh wait...we've already tried that.”
Thanks to everyone for taking part! I loved every single one of your quotes.
