They’re not plundering a tomb, they’re robbing a corpse, and the difference between those two things is scale and longevity.
‘My predecessor, a woman named Lorn, was murdered in a street in Darujhistan. She had, by that point, completed her tasks, insofar as anyone can tell. Her death seemed to be little more than ill luck, a mugging or something similar. Her corpse was deposited in a pauper’s pit.’
‘Forgive me, Adjunct, but what is this story in aid of?’
‘Legacies are never what one would hope for, are they, Captain? In the end, it does not matter what was achieved. Fate holds no tally of past triumphs, courageous deeds, or moments of profound integrity.’

Heavy metal hakkındaki araştırmaların büyük bölümüne göre katıksız öfkenin ön plana çıkması, thrash metal ile başlamıştır. Öfkenin sınırsızlığı ve giderek hâkim bir müzikal öge haline gelmesi (vokalde ya da enstrümanlarda) ise ekstrem heavy metal familyası aracılığıyla gerçekleşmiş ve yerleşmiştir. Öfke, içinde yaşadıkları toplumun çürümüşlüğüne, sisteme ve dine yöneliktir. Öfke dolu müzik ve vokalleri nedeniyle en çok bilinen gruplar Cannibal Corpse, Pantera, Sepultura, Slayer'dır. Bu grupların kendileri ve grupları oluşturan bireyler, yetiştirilme tarzlarına, özellikle de toplumsal statükoyu devam ettiren bir belirleyici olarak içinde büyüdükleri toplumun nefret söylemine öfkelidirler.
Where is his wife?
“Where is Aelin.”
There was pure panic, too—pure panic as Whitethorn saw the blood, the
scattered blades, and the shirt.
“Where is Aelin.”
What had he done, what had he done—
Pain sliced Lorcan’s neck, warm blood dribbled down his throat, his
chest.
Rowan hissed, “Where is my wife?”
Lorcan swayed where he knelt.
Wife.
Wife.
“Oh, gods,” Elide sobbed as she overheard, the words carrying the
sound of Lorcan’s own fractured heart. “Oh, gods …”
And for the first time in centuries, Lorcan wept.
Rowan dug the dagger deeper into Lorcan’s neck, even as tears slid
down Lorcan’s face.
What that woman had done …
Aelin had known. That Lorcan had betrayed her and summoned Maeve
here. That she had been living on borrowed time.
And she had married Whitethorn … so Terrasen could have a king.
Perhaps had been spurred into action because she knew Lorcan had already
betrayed her, that Maeve was coming …
And Lorcan had not helped her.
Whitethorn’s wife.
His mate.
There fore wherever that thou dost behold
A comely corpse with beauty fair endowed
Know this for certain, that the same doth hold
A beauteous saul.
Money could buy any kind of dispensation: to legitimize children, of which the majority were those of priests and prelates; to divide a corpse for the favorite custom of burial in two or more places; to permit nuns to keep two maids; to permit a converted Jew to visit his unconverted parents; to marry within the prohibited degree of consanguinity (with a sliding scale of fees for the second, third, and fourth degrees); to trade with the infidel Moslem (with a fee required for each ship on a scale according to cargo); to receive stolen goods up to a specific value.
