"Our times have seen strange, ominous events. House Corsobar's Thread is not left merely to the Wheel's whim, but our own. Sons and Daughters of Altara shall not go softly into the night, but they shall weild a mighty sword against those outside forces that would threaten our sanctity--both on the doorstep of our noble kingdom's land, and on the distant horizon. I charge each member of Corsobar to look to your brothers and sisters, and bolster yourselves for a potentially perilous future. Not, I say, an uncertain one. Corsobar has prevailed through tremendous adversity. It shall prevail anew, be the adversity lay in the guise of a False Dragon on the doorstep of Tar Valon, or merely poor weather. Corsobar will prevail!"

--Duke Benito Corsobar, (during his address at the dinner party celebrating the new millennium).
