Summary
‘I was taught that Banites delight in little more than they do in power,’ the dragonborn began. ‘They twist others to do their bidding because they're weak. They excel in manipulation, maneuvering, and while they will cooperate, you can never trust them. They will always betray you.
‘Imagine my surprise when I met the Chosen of Bane, for while he is distinguished in all ways in which a good Banite should be, he has none of their flaws. There is a quiet strength behind his charm, the kind of strength we can only build out of the scars within. His unparalleled mind knows that true power is not rigid. It must bend, even yield at times. Its fluidity allows it to reach places that brute force can never touch. A web binds much better than a single yoke. Never once did he try to yoke me, and yet… I am bound to him in ways I have never been to another.’
