“If you are preparing your men to fight against lord Athanar, you may want to think further about it. Lord Athanar has the authority of the king’s word and command behind him.

The best he came up with was, “You and lord Athanar have your differences, but they must be thought through, and spoken out, not solved through fighting.”
