    Default Quote-Based Worldbuilding 5: Return of Xarridan...?

    It appears that the previous quote-based worldbuilding thread died a slow, cold, lonely death. Let us all have a moment of silence for it. Done? Good. Now, I know that the previous thread was called "one more time" but I feel like just leaving its ice-cold corpse there to rot would be unfinished business. Plus, it's fun. So....one more time after that?

    How it works: the person above you creates a quote. You attribute this quote to an in-world character, then make a new one, and so on. Example:
    person 1: "Hail to the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds!"
    person 2: "Hail to the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds!"- Lord Izel the Accursed, shortly before sacrificing the wizard Eirinius to the Beast.

    "They've found it! They've found a cure!"

    Then another person would attribute that quote to another character, and so on.

    Today's quote (continuing from the previous thread):

    "And you. YOU! You have stained my honor and sullied my family name. Wh- Stay here, you coward!"

    "And you. YOU! You have stained my honor and sullied my family name. Wh- Stay here, you coward!" - Janal Kasetri, after an unknown person painted over the phrase "my honor" in his publicly-displayed new poem. The paint then dripped down to slightly obscure the phrase "my family name."
