Who are you, traveller? I am sernî. Where is your land? On the back of the wind. Whom do you serve? No one. I follow the worthy. To what nation are you loyal? To none but my own people. What do you love? My kin, and life, and the road. What will you do if I wrong you? Nothing, if you mend it. If you do not, I will finish what you began. And if I am in need? Sit at my table. There is always a place kept.Jedîyah · Chapter 1, Section V
