Speak in my voice, you gods, you Lords of Heaven, for it
is your tale I tell! Let my tongue grow dry and my eyes
shrivel in my head if I lie!
Some men journey to the ends of the world in the name
of Honor. Some stand alone, against a marauding army
with nothing but a sword and a prayer in the name of
King and Country. All I have done, and all I will ever do,
is in the name of Truth.
Know this, my reader: What you read is true.
Though debate still rages among scholars regarding the
true history of the gods, I can assure you that this history,
and all the dark truths it reveals, is correct. I have walked
into the jaws of danger time and again to discover the
knowledge you now hold. This is my life’s work, and what
you read is the most accurate history of the gods that man
will ever know.
