=== Volume 3 ===
*([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/08/01/3-00-e/ To] [[Prost]]) “Ah, but I’d keep trying to milk the bull, and that wouldn’t end up well for anyone, would it?”
*([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/08/01/3-00-e/ To] [[Durene]]) “Hear my words, that they may be passed down for posterity. On this day, I, Laken Godart, declare myself Emperor of the Unseen, sovereign lord and ruler of all I survey. Not only Emperor; I declare myself Protector of Durene’s House as well.”
*([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/08/01/3-00-e/ To himself]) <em>“Das war ja einfach!” </em>(Translation = '''That was Easy!''')
*([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/08/05/3-01-e/ To] [[Durene]]) “I knight you, Durene. I name you as my [Paladin], my foremost champion who will protect and serve me. Will you do this?”
*([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/09/09/3-11-e/ To] <em>[[Frost Faeries|Reichsgräfin]]</em>) “Then I grant you that position for as long as my empire exists. To the end of time, an Emperor’s word on it.”
*([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/09/19/3-14/ To] [[Prost]]) “Mister Prost. I <em>will</em> come back. Riverfarm is my home, now. This is my empire. I will return. You have my word as an [Emperor] on it.”
*([https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/12/23/3-40/ To] [[BlackMage]]) “Call me L. I’m from our world as well. I just met [batman].”

=== Volume 4 ===
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/03/20/4-20-e/ To] [[Durene]]) “I am an [Emperor]. You know that. Gamel knows that. And I know that. That fact will never change. Why should what other people say or believe matter? I know who I am. That’s all I need.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/03/27/4-23-e/ '''To his people''']''':'''
**<span style="color:#ffd700;">“Fight, people of Riverfarm! Fight, folk of Windrest! Fight! You have sworn yourselves to me! Fight for your [Emperor]!”</span>
**<span style="color:#ffd700;">“<em>Stand. I see your lives like flames on the sea. You are mine. The water will not touch you. The wind cannot quench your fire. So long as I live, your fates and mine burn together. I do not give you permission to die. So stand—and show me nothing but victory.</em>”</span>
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/15/4-35-e/ Massage to] [[Rie Valerund|Rie]]) “Lady Rie. I thank you for your gift. Though it is humble, I seek to return the favor. In this dire hour, I offer you the gift of swords.”

=== Volume 5 ===
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/08/11/5-10-e/ To the] [[Frost Faeries|Fae]]) “My lords and ladies of the court? I invite you to share this banquet at your discretion. My lands are open to all those of my empire on this day. Come, if thou would.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/09/15/5-21-e/ To] [[Bevia Veniford|Bevia]]) “Why not? Humans are at least capable of what Drakes and other species are. Perhaps more. This device is one small step. But I am sure that humanity has much, much further to go.”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/27/5-32-g/ To] [[Rags]]:'''
**“It’s a good plan. It might have worked. But I’m sorry, Chieftain Rags. There will be no peace.”
**“You slaughtered my people. You killed them. And Durene—I think you’ve taken too much from me, Rags. Your race started this war. I escalated it. For that I am sorry. But too many have died.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/27/5-32-g/ To his people]) <span style="color:#ffd700;">“Take the Goblins. Do not let them escape. Do not rest until they are all dead.”</span>
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Yitton Byres|Yitton]]:'''
**“Sin, Lord Yitton. Sin, and guilt. Evidence of it, at any rate. Did you make contact with your children?”
**“If you’re asking me to let them go or kill them, the answer is no, Yitton. Mark my words. If anyone harms them, soldier or noble or adventurer, they will pay. Spread the word.”

=== Volume 6 ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/27/6-34-e/ To] [[Durene]], via [[Nesor]]) “I’m sorry, Durene. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. The Goblins are not all evil. I’m afraid. Terribly afraid they’re people. In which case I’m more monster than they are.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/07/6-42-e/ To] [[Yitton Byres|Yitton]]) “Well, among friends, I’d insist on it. Otherwise, an [Emperor] is quite lonely. And unapproachable. That makes a tyrant, I imagine.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/21/6-46-e/ To] [[Yitton Byres|Yitton]]) “<em>Damn [[Gralton Radivaek|his]] dogs! People are dying!</em>”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/24/6-47-e/ To his people]) “Mister Prost. My people. I’ve missed you so dearly. You and Riverfarm. I have been gone too long. At last, I have returned. Hear me. I am your [Emperor]. And I have come back.”

=== Volume 7 ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/29/7-37/ To himself] ) “If I didn’t owe Ryoka Griffin a favor, I would pay Charlay to kick her into the nearest bush of thorns.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/08/11/7-40-er/ To] Ezerre) “I find that staring at [Witches] isn’t very helpful, Mistress Ezerre. Happily, it’s not a problem for me.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/25/7-55-e/ To] [[Prost Surehand|Prost]]) “Creepy little [Witch] girls, Mister Prost?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/25/7-55-e/ To his allies]) “''However.'' Anyone who stoops to poisoning children and hostage-taking is as good as an enemy. How would you trust someone like that?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/25/7-55-e/ To] [[Eloise du Havin|Eloise]]) “So what do we call that? Tug up for ‘smile’ or ‘yes’, tug down for ‘no’, and spin your hat around for…”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/25/7-55-e/ To] [[Eloise du Havin|Eloise]] & [[Mavika]]) “I have two questions. What will you ask, [Witches]? And will you accept your risk if I accept mine?”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/25/7-55-e/ To] [[Rie Valerund|Rie]]:'''
**“It is. It is. And it is the ''right'' thing to do. Children should not be poisoned. That is despicable and heinous. We can all agree on that, despite the risks.”
**“It is tricky. However, as [Emperor], I had no choice at all, really, Lady Rie. If I could help and I did not? If I were Tyrion Veltras, I would never forgive such a thing.”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/09/7-61/ Missive To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]:'''
**''I believe I have much to apologize for. And much to speak of, with you, Erin Solstice.''
**''I will be delighted to welcome you to the Unseen Empire, Erin.''
**''I do not kill Goblins out of hand. There is an entire area in my domain known as the Goblinlands. They are accorded rights and protected by my authority. Does that reassure you?''
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/16/solstice-pt-1/ To] [[Gamel]]) “Gamel. I need your eyes. Did…Hedag just walk off with an entire cake?”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/20/solstice-pt-2/ To] [[Tamaroth]]:'''
**“I did. Your advice was good. Not perfect, but good. ''Tamaroth.''”
**“I took your advice, and I thank you for it. But let’s not play about with words. I listened to you, but it feels as though I gave you something for your free advice. Something I did not ''intend'' to give you. Especially if you show up here. Now. Today.”
**“Yet I did not choose ''you.'' I rather feel I’ve been tricked.”
**“I was a blind man, reaching out for my cane. For something to grab. I did not ''intend'' to seal a pact with you, Tamaroth.”
**“Why did you come? Just to dispense more advice? I will take that. Then you may show yourself out. And never return.”
**“If you want to eat or drink, help yourself. I’m sure the kitchen’s larder is stocked. Or go outside and ask to join in the festivities. I’m sure the fae will be interested in you.”
**“I have never thought of doing violence to someone—at least not seriously. A blind man is a poor opponent even for a child. And yet—I still do not now.”
**“What do you have to say? I will listen to ''that'', at least. What would you do with Rie? Your advice…Prost is a capable [Steward]. Durene is my [Paladin]. Gamel my [Knight]. Nothing you have said has been a lie, at least. So tell me what I need to know.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/23/solstice-pt-3/ To the] 4 Strangers) <span style="color:#ffd700;"><em>Begone. Begone! You are not welcome here!</em></span>

=== Volume 8 ===

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/20/8-03/ To himself]) “I never really got into fights because I was blind, but even ''I'' know better than [[Sammial Veltras|that]].”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/04/interlude-paradigm-shift-pt-1/ To] [[Tamaroth]]:'''
**“That would be ‘''your Majesty''’, to you. Peon.”
**“Your agenda is not mine…Tam.”
* [https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/26/interlude-the-pets-of-innworld/ To] [[Sariant Lambs]]:
**“Here is my deal, Sariant Lambs. I know you can understand me. I am happy to let you eat, reproduce—in safe numbers—and have people look after you all your lives. But not if you take up all their time. Everyone must work.”
**“I’m sure you think you can persuade your owners to get you to stay, and I have no doubt they’d try to smuggle you in. Which is why if I have to exile you—I will declare open season on Sariant Lambs. Not among ''my'' people, you understand. I’ll simply let the [Witches] keep Riverfarm clean of pests as they see them.”
* [https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/26/interlude-the-pets-of-innworld/ To] [[Wiskeria]]:
**“I don’t know what I find more offensive. The fact that I can strike a pact with Sariant Lambs, the fact that ''they'' are Riverfarm’s natural ally—or that the Skill isn’t new. Someone’s done this before.”
**“''No! Absolutely not! Wiskeria, get Hedag and her axe!''”
