Words to an Apprentice: My Tutelage Under Great Mages

Words to an Apprentice: My Tutelage Under Great Mages was a book penned by Ithryn Halast and published in the mid-14 century DR.

"Splendid, heroic deaths? Only in tales, ballads, and books, kitten. Death in battle is always brutal, painful, and messy–and there's never time enough then for those heroic scenes legends tell of. Too little time, too much death. There's never time enough in life for any splendid or heroic things, kitten. Remember that–and make time before you must die. If you do that, you'll have forged a better life than most."
