Quote #7
Pelister Garaman, who was Lord of Dorn-Lannet back then, came out from his castle and spoke fine words. "This is a fight for our families, our land, our way of life." (7.41)
Notice how he's not actually fighting, but just making an appearance. Still, family is a good motivator, and both sides know that their families are going to suffer if they lose the war.
Quote #8
It is the war. It has left you no time to consider your future, the future of this family. (10.101)
Gyaar's mom brings this to his attention when he hasn't found a wife or popped out a kid yet, and the nation is kinda waiting. Family is important and cherished, but it also signifies an obligation for some characters, like Gyaar and Graceful.
Quote #9
"I'd like to… to see home again. I thought I never would. I thought I would never go back." He lay down, arm over his eyes. "Anyway, Kayforl is beautiful in summer." (12.219)
