 * Wanikiy:  How did things ever get so far? I don't know. It was so unfortunate, so unnecessary. Stormhold has lost men and land and I have lost a son. We're quits. And if Tattaglia agrees, then I'm willing to let things go on the way they were before.
 * Stormhold: We're all grateful to Archwarden Wanikiy for calling this meeting. We all know him as a man of his word. A modest man who will always listen to reason.
 * Soulrest: Yes, he is too modest. He had all the towns and villages in his pocket and refused to share them.
 * Wanikiy: When – when did I ever refuse an accommodation? All of you know me here. When did I ever refuse, except one time? And why? Because I believe this city-state buisness is going to destory us for years to come. I mean, it's not like war or Imperialism.  The other nations, if we go on like this, will not leave us alone, they will come, and they will attack. And I believed that then, and I believe that now.
 * Stormhold: Times have changed. It's not like the old days when we could do anything we want. A refusal is not the act of a friend. Wanikiy had all the towns and villages in Argonia, and he must share them. He must let us draw the water from the well. Certainly, he can present a bill for such services. After all, we are not Imperials.
 * There was laughter all around.
 * Wanikiy: I hoped that we would come here and reason together. And as a reasonable man, I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to find a peaceful solution to these problems.
 * Stormhold: Then we are agreed. The sharing of vassals will be permitted, but controlled, and Don Corleone will give up protection in the West – and there will be the peace.
 * Gideon: But I must have strict assurance from Wanikiy. As time goes by and his position becomes stronger, will he attempt any individual vendetta?
 * Stormhold: Look, we are all reasonable Saxheel here. We don't have to give assurances as if we were lawyers.

Wanikiy:  You may talk about vengeance. but Is vengeance going to bring your sons (figuratively) back to you, or my boys to me? I forgo the vengeance of my own. But I have selfish reasons. My most trusted friend was forced to leave this country because of all this Stormhold business. Alright...but now I had to make arrangements to bring him back here safely. But I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall him, or me for that matter, or if he should get stabbed through the heart by a guard, or if he should hang himself in his prison cell, or if he's struck by a bolt of lightning, then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room. And that, I do not forgive. But that aside, let me say that I swear...on the souls of my grandchildren...that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made here today.
