Most chivalrous behaviour on Sador's part!
I considered having Coldan launch himself at Aldarion and grapple for his sword hand (would have been much more consistent and dramatic), but with the bloody-mindedness
phantom has been displaying recently, I decided not to take any risks.
I like Variag, by the way. I imagine Dorwinians and Easterlings a bit like Russians and Tatars, respectively, so it's quite fitting.
