    • "By Haela Brightaxe's hand was I wrought, and by Bahamut's grace was I raised up, to inspire armies of the Light and to join my strength to their vanguard. May a wise and righteous general make shrewd use of me. May my jaws and claws stay sharp and strike true. May justice be served. May I bring honor and glory to the Wyrm Princes of the Celestial Circle."
