The End of Time
--
A soul is something we have every now and then.
Nobody has one all the time
or forever.

[...] is the proof that the Essence belongs by right of birth
and race to our people and to us only.
May the gods perhaps accept that their benevolence
fall on guilty creatures [...]
Would She do it?
Could she tolerate the idea that an insect [...]
may open the doors to the knowledge of Everything?
And you! You! How can you not see!
They are occupying our lands, they hunt in our woods,
they try to fathom Her secrets!
How can you stand for it?
React, then! Don't you fear Her wrath?
[...]
Like nails fixing the boards of a house,
the Crystals link the worlds,
they allow the Essence to flow,
creating life and Existing,
so we [...] may consider ourselves [...]
the only custodians.
[...]
May one day
give back the sweet burden
of guardians of the Essence to our people,
as is written, and as the Existing's nature itself
asks it to be.
But we do not wait without acting
while the balance [...]
We must unite ourselves with Her, I tell you!
Let us give ourselves to Her.
[...]
Glory in Hellirinn.
Glory to the Mother.
Fragment of an ancient scroll,
Lost during the Shywarath Empire.
