Quote of the Patch[ | ]

He had eyes like a phoenix's and fine bushy eyebrows like silkworms. His whole appearance was dignified and awe-inspiring. Presently, Liu Bei crossed over, sat down beside him and asked his name. "I am Guan Yu," replied he.'
~ Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Luo Guanzhong; C.H. Brewitt-Taylor translation)

Note: You should see v0.25053 in-game once you have the update.
