there is no word for love in the kremnoan language not because it is a concept that they scorn but because it is defined through action and diligence and vigilance and all of those silly, stubborn traits that make kremnoans what they are when you strip the greed and corruption from the spirit of their honor.
eat, so you have the strength to fight (i love you). train, so you have the strength to protect that worth protecting (i love you). sleep, i will take the first watch (i love you). maintain your weapons well, and they will defend you (i love you). take our family's shield with you into battle, and continue the glory of our bloodline (i love you. i am proud of you). this is your mother's ring, with it you carry her legacy (i love you. she loved you). do not fear death, for Nikador embraces the valiant fallen and keeps them by His side (i love you. He loves you. if you do not return i will find comfort in knowing your spirit remains with Him).
