"I should add," Mar said, noting that diplomatic silence, "that the Vindicator is right -- for the most part, it IS stupid. Fel energy is dangerous, and the powers of a warlock often result in a corrupted soul. But to balance that, I also have to note that the draenei people have a history with the Legion that goes a long way to informing her attitude."

Mar grasped the hilt of his sword, but reversed his grip to bring the weapon around him, pointed downwards. "When it comes to warlocks, I'd advise treating them like anyone else. It's dangerous to pick up a sword and swing it. If you don't get killed in your first dozen fights, the rush of power you get from wielding a weapon can be just as dangerous, and lead you down a dark path as well. But a sword can be a powerful weapon for righteousness as well, if used by a disciplined and centered person. If you don't ever wish to take up the metaphorical sword, that's fine -- but I'd advise you judge those who do by how they use their weapon, not what weapon they use."

Mar's serious tones tended to be ominous, because they were serious tones from Mar.
