Augh! It's a perfectly cromulant punctuation mark!

Ellora's Cave does not take colons in their work.

But how the flaming Sea am I supposed to punctuate this sentence WITHOUT one?
“At the end, let only this be said: that all Ruvane Delkroy did, he did for love of Etarin.”

No colons?! I had heard they limit commas but not other forms of punctuation.

Emdash would be the only alternative that would make at least a bit of sense.

No colons. No word on semi-colons.

Thing is, we'll be editing a novel soon and it has about 40 colons, or two per chapter.

I write in lists.
