Well, I already have "what would Aerich do?" but I've been marking pages 
as I re-read the Romances with potential quotes (Mica gets some good 
lines, too). Feel free to suggest favorites. In the queue already is "I 
think my sword is long enough, and I am tolerably well acquainted with 
its use."

Regarding illustrations, I'd favor using a pair of crossed vambraces for 
Aerich, and possibly a combo of two-handed sword and flashstone for 
Tazendra. Less sure about Khaavren, and Pel is, of course, a mystery. 
(I've been considering "What would Pel do?" with a big question mark.)

A misty gray silhouette is a possibility. List of alleged crimes would 
be good, but the only one I'm sure of is regicide (impiricide?) Oh, and 
maybe "assault on an officer of the Empire" and "Impersonating an 
officer of the Empire."

Thing is, most of what Vlad is actually "wanted" for is by the Jhereg, 
right? But I suppose if we total up the list of what he's actually done 
that the Empire could potentially prosecute him for (racketeering, 
assassination, impersonating Imperial agents, extortion, bribery, 
blackmail, tax evasion, etc.) it would make quite a list. (Can anyone 
think of any more to add?)

Already a popular example. I'd like to stick to actual quotes. A page 
reference is most helpful (when applicable).
