I remember you.  Do you not recall?
I am Selardore.

Yes, my name is the most beautiful sound you have ever heard.
Yes, it sounds like 'Cellar Door'.
You snicker?  Perhaps you do not know the Hendrake way that leads into darkness without fear.  I was chosen.  I enter the dark places you dread to go without light guiding your way.  ... and I emerge again, for I am Hendrake, and we remember every step that brought us to where we are.

Dorian Hendrake, my father, was Earl of Ways & Means.  He sought to restore honor after Corwin murdered my grandfather, Borel Hendrake, at the edge of the rift where Dreams end and true reality is spawned. That is where Corwin dishonored us the first time.  And that is where he insulted the family further by sending back my father's broken sword, denying us the chance to celebrate Dorian's passing.  And he sent it with a warning.

We are Hendrake and we remember his challenge.

Now, I am Viscount of the Outer Means & Waybridges.  It is a title with honor but it is also ceremonial. The Means & Ways no longer flow with denizens and visitors as they once did.   Now, they are merely vestiges of a remembered past from before the War and the Sundering.  If the glory of before is ever to be again, we must remove the source of the corruption which has tainted us since before the Sundering.

That corruption has a name: Corwin.
And I am Hendrake.  I remember the name of my enemy.

Now you will remember the name Selardore.  And when you speak it, you will do so with respect.  For you have been privileged to meet a Hendrake off the field of battle.

And Hendrakes remember their Allies as well as their enemies.
