Someone once told Bartlett that he was a very nostalgic person.
Bartlett himself didn't like this description because, in his opinion, the word "nostalgic" revealed a different kind of sentiment and sorrow, emotions that usually only occurred in bards and noble girls, entirely unrelated to him.
The barbarian attributed this description to the traditions of Norde. After all, this kingdom was the only human country still retaining earth burial practices, and as a native of Norde, it was natural that he would be influenced by its traditions.
Was tradition also an influence on the "Steel Bride"? Bartlett couldn't say for sure. He didn't know why he did what he did, why he grabbed it without asking any questions. He only knew that this sword held a very special meaning for him.
