- Kenettran Folk Tales (The Young Elites)
Once upon a time, a prince fell madly in love with a demon from the Underworld. When she disappeared back into the sea, he ached so much for her that he walked into the ocean and never returned.

- The Dagger Society Initiation Pledge (The Young Elites)
I hereby pledge to serve the Dagger Society, to strike fear into the hearts of those who rule Kenettra, to take by death what belongs to us, and to make the power of our Elites known to every man, woman, and child. Should I break my vow, let the dagger take from me what I took from the dagger.

- Letter from Amendar of Orange (The Young Elites)
I joined the Spring Moons festivities for the first time, and it was as if I had come into a strange land. The people have transformed into visions of faeries and ghouls. I cannot decide if I want to stay or leave.
