Quotes
| Then came Ishernos, the first one, the primal. From its loins came Rhya the beautiful, rising up with Taal the powerful. Surging with life, they came into the world. Everywhere they gazed, the abundance of nature sprang forth. Where Taal walked, the mountains rose from the earth. Where he breathed, the forests reached for the sun. Such was how the world was made. |
