"The days grow darker now, and in the solitude of my exile I can see that we have reached a cross-roads. The world changes, and as it turns on its axis I can feel the
movement in the stone. Loathing and hatred rise in the north, our Enemy scheming on our destruction, and as I write these words he sends forth warriors as messengers, to show the Nations of Men that they are not beaten, that the Horde still has power."
"But wait, in my mind’s-eye I see wheels within wheels, of agendas festering in the hearts of the Enemy. There is more to these messengers of death than that which meets the eye. For they have a mission of their own, one separate from the cruel objectives of their Clavern masters. I see that they are in search of a key, something with which
they can break the shackles of their own servitude. If we are to survive they must not have it."
"For more than five centuries Man has called this New World home, and it has been held tightly within a vice forged of blood and iron. The Enemy may scheme for its return, but it is now ours and cannot be regained. In this world we have nowhere left to go."
"I look into the veils of our future and can see little except violence and death. It has been our lot for these past centuries and will no doubt be so for the times yet to come. But there is hope. As I peer through these mists I can see that life for Men shall not end, that all who walk these lands have a place, and a purpose, worth the telling. Of only one thing can I be certain. A great darkness grows on our horizons, coveting the lands we hold and wishing us only annihilation. Already it moves in silence, spreading its malcontent and perpetrating its evil. We will resist, and we will prevail."
"Harken to this carefully. These words before you hold the promise of a great tale, one that binds the past with the future, and will take those who wish on a journey to lands that have never known peace. For it is in the world of Arborell that this tale will be told, and nothing here is as it seems."
From the journals of the Maturi Hedj, Year of Settlement 517
