Barsaive

11 Sollus, 1515

"The Therans may have Named Barsaive, but it is not their land. It is not their home. Their scholars crafted the Rites of Protection and Passage, for which we are grateful. But does that gratitude give them ownership of the mountains and forests? Rule of the rivers and lakes? Dominion over the bodies and souls of its people?"
