Introduction to the Encyclopedia
“Listen and grow wise, my children, that you may avoid
the darkness that has claimed my sight. Though the sun
shines bright on the sands of Zakhara, the earth beneath
hungers for blood, and the night hides mad genies,
howling for vengeance. We have no Fate but the Fate we
are given; may your Fate not be a dark one.”
—Ali ben Ali, Blind Prophet
