  • [To Mudli during Sigujana's Coronation] Does my presence frighten you, Elder? Or is it your guilt that prevents your allegiance
  • [Shaka to the Fasimba regiment] Our strategy is ludicrous, in fact we go on our way to make ourselves known. We toss away our weapon hoping that the enemy will be courteous enough to return it back to us.

The Nameless one[edit]

  • [The nameless one to Shaka] As you possess this blade, so it will possess you[1]

Ngomane[edit]

  • [Ngomane to General Bhuza]There's always been a fine line between soldiering and killing general, many would say soldiers are killers
