Eredin: She plays her part well.
Balor: A shiny thing to appease the masses.
Eredin: They all fall so eagerly into place, despite their world turning on its head.
Balor: Faced with chaos, the people will always choose order. No matter the cost.
Eredin: Or how blatant the farce.

Those that make excuses don’t make history.

Balor: What of Fjall Stoneheart?
Eredin: He escaped our assassins on Inis Dubh. Along with the Raven Clan warrior. But we have elite troops scouring the Continent as we speak.
Balor: That’s a heroic folktale waiting to happen. End them. Now.

Old stories are bound to repeat. They just need the right person to tell them.

We are the Black Rose / Let no one doubt our cause / Rise up and let them feel our thorns / And freedom will be ours / We are the Black-Thorned Rose / Singin’ songs for the unsung / Rise up and let them hear our roar / The lowborns’ day has come / The flowers shall grow / Where our peasant blood flows / Our lives they have taken / Are the seeds they have sown / Rise up from the soil we till / Rise up from the soil that they own / We are the Black Rose / Let no one doubt our cause / Rise up and let them feel our thorns / So freedom may be ours / We are the Black-Thorned Rose / Singin’ songs for the unsung / Rise up and let them hear our roar / The lowborns’ day has come / For each rose they cut down / Another will grow / Till the land is covered / With petals like snow / No lights in your castles / No light in your gold / Our fight is undying / Our truth will be told / We are the Black Rose / Let no one doubt our cause / Rise up and let them feel our thorns / And freedom will be ours / We are the Black-Thorned Rose / Singin’ songs for the unsung / Rise up and let them hear our roar / The lowborns’ day has come / We are the Black-Thorned Rose / Let our voice be our blade as one / Rise up and let them feel our thorns / The lowborns’ day has come

The Witcher: Blood Origin Season 1 Episode 1 Quotes

Jaskier: Why did you save me from the Temerians?
Seanchai: I need you to sing a story back to life. We’re related, you and I. You’re a bard. I’m a storyteller. Of a sort.
Jaskier: I beg to differ. You… you are a time-stopping, shape-shifting, probably-gonna-eat-me-without-salt-at-some-point sort of storyteller. I’m just a man with an admittedly… fun hat.

Jaskier: What are you?
Not Jaskier: I am many things. Many faces. Many places.
Jaskier: Then why do you look like me?
Not Jaskier: Because you love yourself. I have other faces. If you prefer.
