[X] Viserys said it best: You can't claim these as the spoils of conquest, for these are no living men to tithe from. Nor can they be called salvage from an empty shell of a city when the restless dead are so easily startled and incensed by such disturbances. This is theft, just from that of a different perspective.
-[X] Acquire Tongues to speak with: "What would you have me do? Leave them here to be reacquired, by hook or crook, perhaps by my enemies, or that of mankind who I have surely, for now, driven from Sallosh-That-Was? Perhaps you will fight tooth and nail to prevent that, but still men serving as pawns of She of Many Colors and None will come again. This is a rising age of magic, and the ruins of Sarnor provide adequate target for temptation in the hearts of men besides that."
-[X] "Let us not take them as mere spoils, one of a hundred victories left unsung; It is said that a remnant of the Tall Men yet endures despite the depredations of the Dothraki Horse Lords. Indeed--I have come upon some of these wandering forlorn exiles in their time of need, protecting them from similar ilk. They seemed hopeful for what great deeds could be committed in these times despite the horrors of the past. Would you wish to haunt these sad ruins for another age, when it is one of such possible renewal? Or might you be laid to rest... perhaps for your people's living legacy to once again inhabit these hallowed walls once more?"
-[X] "Even if you would deny fervent hope, the living do not. Sarnor's sundered lands should not languish forever a tomb of the wakeful dead."

[X] What need have you of treasures? Move on or stay, no gold or jewels will help you in neither.
-
-
[X] Because this world, and all of its treasures, horrors, and trials belong to the living.
-[X] You and your people died a long time ago.
-[X] The indiscriminate rage, and boundless hunger of the unquiet dead is quite well known. The damage one wraith can do in a populated city should send shivers down any mortal spine.
-[X] Truthfully I was not certain the dead dwelling here would be sane or present enough to care.
-[X] If they were I was planning on sending them on to the next life. With words, blessings, or flames.
-[X] The forces of darkness will not let you lie when they could bend you, or take advantage of what your presence creates.
