: Dan, I believe the Deceiver says: "The path to
: retribution does make for strange bedfellows" not
: "The path to revenge makes for strange
: bedfellows."

: I needed to point this error out because retribution and
: revenge have slightly different connotations.

: Retribution implies punishment that is just and fair;
: something that needs to be done in order to set things
: right.

: Revenge, however, implies a personal vendetta against
: someone.

: When he says "the path to retribution" he is
: stating that, by punishing Shiver and/or Soulblighter
: (I'll let the oher Asylumers figure that out) he is
: himself going to be redeemed for earlier sin.
: I thought I'd point this out seeing as how it might
: affect some theories.

You're right about the dialogue. I screwed up. However, retribution has no such connotation that I know of. I think you're thinking of recompense.
