Quotes
-
Prince Colwyn : The reward is freedom... and fame!
Torquil : Freedom? We have it! And fame? Nah. It's an empty purse. Count it, go broke. Eat it, go hungry. Seek it, go mad!
-
Seer : The temple is at the center of the swamp where three trees grow as one.
Prince Colwyn : How can anything grow in that place? It smells of death.
Ynyr : Death and power are close cousins.
Torquil : I don't think I like your relatives, old man.
-
Torquil : [Colwyn gives the king's key to Torquil to rid himself of his manacles] I thought I might keep them as a momento of our journey.
Prince Colwyn : Well, the key is yours.
Torquil : Only the king and his Lord Marshall carry this key!
Prince Colwyn : Right.
[Torquil laughs realizing he's just been appointed Lord Marshall]

[Ynyr leaves to go see The Widow of the Web]
Ynyr : From here, I go on alone.
Prince Colwyn : I'm going with you.
Ynyr : No. If two approach, she would certainly kill both. Alone, I may have a chance.
Torquil : Each to his fate, Colwyn.
Ynyr : Yes... Yes, each to his fate.
-
Prince Colwyn : Would you follow a king to the black fortress?
Torquil : Now I know you're a lunatic. I wouldn't follow me own father to the black fortress.
-
Prince Colwyn : Now we have no way to find the fortress.
Ynyr : There is one who might help.
Prince Colwyn : Who?
Ynyr : The Widow of the Web.
Torquil : That creature helps no one. For none who go there return.
Ynyr : She has great powers.
Torquil : Yeah, to kill.
Ynyr : She may not kill me. For I know her name.
Torquil : Her name is death.
Ynyr : She had another name once. An ancient and powerful name.
[Torquil has a look of disbelief and this gets Ynyr mad]
Ynyr : We all risk our lives on this journey. My risk is no greater than yours. I must try.
-
Torquil : [about the journey and Colwyn's offer to unlock the manacles] If we succeed, unlock them. Otherwise I'll die with them on.
-
Torquil : Only the king and his lord marshall have the keys to these manicles. You don't look like the lord marshall.
Prince Colwyn : No.
Torquil : You look about the right age to be Turold's son.
Prince Colwyn : Exact age.
-
Prince Colwyn : [looking at Torquil and his men] You're escaped prisoners
Torquil : Every one of us. Thieves, fighters, bandits and brawlers!
-
Torquil : I don't kill men without good reason.
Prince Colwyn : Nor do I. And be thankful for it.
-
Torquil : Silence! You're surrounded by a hundred men.
Prince Colwyn : A hundred is not enough.
Torquil : Well what have we here? A fighter?
Prince Colwyn : Besides you're short by about ninety men.
