     ❝ I did not say the whole Blight, Warden, I
          merely hinted at it. I seem to recall many
          a morn where we had to have the Golem
          carry you until you had sobered enough
          to walk on your own. ❞

                         "You know my reasons.
                          And I am a better man now.”
