Dialogue

Akeem: ...All this to say that apart from "nation-destroyer"-class warriors like the Belyi Tsar, the most powerful person in the history of the northern reaches must be Grand Duke Filipov.
Akeem: His ability to transform into anything, whether it be to scout out the foe or destroy them from within, ranks him comfortably at "fortress-destroyer"-class. That'd make him second only to the Tsar—
Charnikova: Nonsense. Wasn't his taking of Belovodye with seventeen soldiers only made possible by betrayal from within? We're talking about head-on fights here!
Akeem: Hmph, you're the one who doesn't get it. Intelligence and strategy are integral parts of combat. Otherwise, Grand Dukes Strivozha and Photius wouldn't even have made the list.
Charnikova: Tsk. Then why didn't you include Solovei of Nod-Krai, our local hero?
Charnikova: If it's strategy you're talking, he's one of the best — I mean, we're talking about the guy who tricked Reed Miller into setting his head on a guillotine!
Akeem: Ah, but was that really Reed Miller? Silver blood wasn't hard to find back when he was executed. Who knows? Some commoner from the borderlands might've been put up to it in his stead.
Charnikova: You...! Then what about Filipov, then? The man pined after his wife so badly that he was seduced by Abyssal illusions, and now no one knows if he's dead or alive!
Akeem: That means he might still be alive, and that's a win in my book!
