Unmatched Fencer

To understand why these viashino priests lost,
you need to first understand that they had no chance. The pen is not mightier than the sword, for the pen and the sword are the same thing.
The only difference is the sword scribes in the blood of the defeated and writes its tales in the memories of the fallen. They think they're stronger, but they don't realize how hard it is to finish incantations without a tongue.
