"Time is an endless cycle of decay and renewal.
That which blossoms shall eventually rot.

A life comes to its end, so new life may replace it.
Legendary warriors perish, so aspiring soldiers may carry on their legacy.
Old kingdoms fall, so new kingdoms may rise in their stead.
Old gods are forgotten, so humanity may shift to new beliefs.

Such is the cycle of life."

"I have seen it all before

"I have seen it all before. Mine eyes are witness to eons worth of history, otherwise forgotten by mankind.

I have seen kingdoms rise and fall. Time and time again.

I witnessed the rites of cleansing from the cult of Mol'Kadar, sentencing heretics to the pyre.

I witnessed the sacrifice of the Martyr King, and the eternal grief of the cursed undead legion.

I witnessed the great serpent Kosma manifest before my eyes.

And with that moment, I witnessed...

I witnessed the Great Truth of this world unfold before my eyes."




"As time blossoms, it will eventually decay, so the cycle may repeat itself across infinite eons.

This is the Great Truth of this world."
