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.”

That's stupid of them. Your example is a perfect use of a colon. If they don't like it, it seems to me that they ought to be the ones to come up with an alternate solution.

But I'm sure it doesn't really work like that. Still. How stupid.
