"Umm, well, I don't really have a dream, not really. I guess...maybe...uhh...being a real hero. Yeah." ~Ebley "None in particular." ~Razhum "For my son to grow up in a peaceful ...

Ebley and Razhum, the ostensible heroes of The Lawful Scepter . Q: What's your full name and what is it's meaning? E: Ummm..don't tell anyone but it's Prince Ebbulon vae-Tenabrae-Marhoun ...
