This is a great land. It is a clean silk cloth, though hastily repaired at times. Beyond it is a blue flamed candle.
If he smiles when he's happy, you may be able to trust him. If he smiles when he's angry, you probably can't trust him. If he smiles like he's forgotten how, run the other way.
Watch out for those things with all the eyes, the whatchamacallums. They're real nasty.
Orcs are ugly and elves aren't. At least orcs are honest that way.
I have looked in the medusas eyes. Souls of stone.
Yes, I am immortal. For now.
I remember when I was young, before I was immortal. Unim the elf was my best friend. Oh, the times we had. First loves, early and hard lessons to learn. He died at the ripe old age of...what was it? Damned if I know. He was old. I went to him, on his deathbed, he hadn't seen me in a hundred years. Didn't know I'd become immortal. No one did, but me. He was well into his senility then, but when I walked in, it was like all those centuries had never happened. We talked about old times, first kiss...
There used to be a flower. Grew in the bonelands. Well, now its the bonelands, then it was the fields of the 3 stones. The flower: 2 feet tall, dark purple petals. Grew for 11 straight years, through blazing summer and winter snows. Then, it dies. Turns black at the petal tips, then on into the center. Takes no more than 1 minute. Then its dead. Is that my fate?
Bright young thinkers will sometimes ask, to the consternation of their elders the following question: "If the gods are omnipotent, and also good, why is there suffering in the world?" The elders shush them. Here is the answer: The gods are good and omnipotent but do not always enter into the affairs of men because of the "Law of Equal and Parallel God Paths". Should a god interfere with the world to for instance stop an earthquake, he metaphorically widens the god power path to the silverlands. This would then allow Loromu to influence the world with the same amount of power, but for dire effects. This is why the gods have not manifested themselves openly since Lormomu gained his power.
Occasionally there are miracles, this is because it is easy to use minimal god power for great results when the vessel it is channeled through is holy enough.
