[Quotes of The Wandering Inn] @twi-quotes - Tumblr Blog

[Introduction]

Hey there! I've started reading The Wandering Inn in July 2023 and haven't stopped since. As of writing this (March 2025) I am somewhere in Book 19, i.e. towards the end of Volume 7. (I might update that info later on.)

Obviously the posts here will contain spoilers, since they are, well, quotes from the web series. However, since I'll be starting in Book 1 and there will (as of right now) only be one post per day and the quotes are ordered chronologically, it should take some time for this blog to get up to current events and I will probably catch up with my own reading speed beforehand anyways.

The quotes from Book 1 are from the now-not-canon version, since that's what I was reading at the time. This means that the numbering of the chapters is probably not consistent with the rewritten version of Book 1 and the quotes themselves might have been changed. Oh well.

I will tag every post with the number of the Book (since this is a more precise identification than the Volume number) as well as the involved characters (usually with last name). Under the break just below there is a list of all of the tags (Books and characters, sorted alphabetically) if you want to look up quotes from a specific Book or by a specific character (Bird my beloved).

Have fun! And No Killing Goblins!

“Something lurks down there. I will purge it, but that is a battle for Ailendamus in the future. Mark me well; I knew Rhir when it was abandoned, and Rhir before the Blighted Kingdom and their nonsense about Demons. I know the truth and I will find what has plagued the world and slay it. That is a battle worthy of me.”

~ Rhisveri about Rhir, 8.56

“I—would assume that they’re all part of the same fire element, I guess. Or maybe that different scale colors, uh, mean different ranks or perhaps temperaments? Gold is nobility?”

“Gold is nob—are you one of those Humans that ascribes superiority to skin tone?”

“What? No!”

Rhisveri glared at her.

“Well, you seem to have a very jaundiced opinion of how other species are valued by color.”

~ Ryoka and Rhisveri, 8.56

“Forget this silliness over who was found in whose bed. Go back and romance half your Order, Dame Chorisa. Then—train. Then, live. If you must come here, you will be welcome. And then, you will hunt down the thing that killed her and bring it to justice.”

~ Uzine to Chorisa, 8.56

[Librarians]. It was too much of a bother when they were on you for missing books. Not that they were avenging warriors of death and destruction when you failed to return a book—they just shouted like that. They didn’t have that overwhelmingly powerful Skills, but some were incredibly inconvenient, like the ability to teleport to said book and grab it.

He’d had to squish three over the course of his long life, and felt vaguely bad about it.

Not in Ailendamus, of course. Rhisveri huffed back the way he’d come, still mad about having to return the book in the first place. He just erased their memories and they founded a library in a city somewhere else. But…it was something. He hadn’t actually clashed with that many of his kin, but a few times he’d done great battle over treasures in a hoard with another immortal species.

But [Librarians]? You killed them, then you took their library and felt a bit bad and kept dusting off the books. Depressing.

“So what are we? Monsters if we enjoy killing? I think we’re just free.”

Ceria looked at Jiupe, who looked genuinely curious. She shrugged.

“At the end of the day, maybe your crew is, Captain Jiupe. Laws are funny. Some are terrible, and my best friend does things that everyone else tells her she cannot do. I admire her for that. If you’re happy, and you’re living as much as you want…I’m an adventurer. Odds are I’ll die young, but it’s worth doing. Like finding my friends.”

~ Ceria and Jiupe of the Bloodtear Pirates

“—and after I created as much water as possible, she froze it all over then shouted that a Chandrarian custard was being served and it was running out quick. So every [Mage] in the Centrist faction went running and—”

“Terrible, stupid, stinky people do terrible things. I lived, despite the [Witch]. Despite it all. I won’t let them do it again. Some day, I will be big and no one will ever do such things again. My friends won’t let it happen either. We all knew Erin. And each time this happens, we level up. When she comes back, everything will be okay. Until then—we have to do Erin-things.”

“First time is for the experience. Second, you refine your crowd-fighting abilities. Third? You get to figure out your best escape tactics and you’re learning from your mistakes; how to fight off the parents, trick them, beat the children, escape the nest, and so on. The fourth time you deserve because it’s happened four times.”

“Sorry. I forget. Um…what’s a Lism?”

Mrsha tried to explain what the most objectionable form of creature in the world was to a bewildered Gire, who thought it was a kind of evil, money-grubbing salamander until she realized Mrsha was talking about a person.

Ryoka turned pale, red, and then looked in silence at Itorin and his children, who were all staring at her with a mixture of amusement and fascination. She opened her mouth, realized there was nothing she could say that wouldn’t reveal her, and tried to run for it.

Two Thirsting Veil Knights checked her into the ground. Ryoka lay there, staring dazedly up at the sky. Itorin II blinked down at Ryoka Griffin.

It was a quintessential Wind Runner experience. He began to see why Oesca and Ivenius were such big fans of hers.

~ Itorin II's observation of Ryoka, 8.50

“That bastard—”

“Chaldion?”

“—that’s what I said.”

I have no father. I have a mother, and her name is Lyonette. Leave me alone, stranger.

“I see a ‘Sir Relz of Pallass’ has the courage to dignify this twaddle with his name. Regrettable, that. How can we ‘prove’ the two are linked? Perhaps with something as simple as our minds, you imbecile. I do not need to prove every single thing beyond a shadow of a doubt. If you breathe, you can infer there is air. Arguing for complete proof is a child’s gambit.”

“Don’t you have better and more important things to do, Qwera? Like help Mri?”

“I can be an altruist and make a profit, Ysara.”

“I think that’s actually impossible.”

“Well, then, forget the altruism.”

“When I say I am worthless, that I was cast out of my Hive despite all that was poured into me, I do not lie. When I say my team is owed everything, I do not lie. I will do all I can for them, and that includes living. But I am not them. Now, I am going to walk away because I do not know how to end this conversation.”

“It was she who finally broke the weakened armor of the Adult Creler’s head. One adventurer, who ignored the wounds she had taken. She would surely have died in moments, but she advanced. And that is why we took hold of victory.”

~ Ksmvr recounting how Yvlon slew the Adult Creler, 8.48 H
