 +The **Les Analectes** are a book written by [[Karrn le Conquérant]]. A seminar on the book is taught at [[Rekkenmark Academy]] every semester by [[Caldrus du Kurtvach]].

 +======Quotes======
 +  * "In the monumental task of war, true triumph evades those without an appreciation for history."
 +
 +  * "Great advantage flows to the commander who first recognizes the commencement of hostilities, then acts decisively and with overwhelming vigor."
 +
 +  * "Armies are the forge of victory, and strong armies require strong nations. Plague, famine, and loss of will -- far more than battlefield reversals -- can shatter the greates army."
 +
 +  * "A stalwart ally is dear as mithral, but should not occasion a lack of vigilance."
 +
 +  * "Morale among the soldiers and citizenry -- one's own and one's enemies -- is paramount. Be mindful that in serving it internally, a commander not bolster the foe disproportionately."
 +
 +  * "Few wars pass from triumph to triumph. Persistence even in the face of soul-crushing defeat is the mark of a true [[Conquérant]]."
 +
 +  * "An ally is only as uncompromising as the circumstances that compel it to fight. Prepare well for the day when friends become enemies."
 +
 +  * "War often inspires innovation; be certain that advancements in the manner of conducting war accompany advancements in the means of doing so."
 +
 +  * "Victory can be had by the swift and focused. Absent quick triumph, however, a robust and well-provisioned foe may overcome a lack of commitment and become a daunting foe."
 +
 +  * "Once he is shown to be intractable, a wise ruler allows his enemies no means of retreat or surrender. Only utter destruction prevents a foe from rising again."
 +
 +  * "The most important wartime preparations occur during the cessation of hostilities. War -- the ultimate pursuit of a people -- never entirely ends."
