«Argel Tal said nothing more. He was watching the servitors raise a statue of a slender young woman in a flowing dress-robe.
"It’s true, then," Kaurtal ventured. "The Blessed Lady has fallen."

Аргел Тал, блин, человек-железная-дорога: сплошные переезды. Держите меня четверо.

Even at the cost of a glory most highly deserved. We all make sacrifices, my son."

Lorgar conceded with a nod. "That is why I turn to you with the truth this evening, and not Kor Phaeron or Erebus. You, like me, have looked into the gods’ eyes." »
