Volume One: Mare Nostrum, World Unknown
Revised and Complete Edition
For every man who ever watched an empire rise in the dark of a private room, and understood exactly what it cost, and chose to build one anyway.
Invariably, all nations crumble, fall, and are forgotten. And in their final death throes, they often drag others down with them.
The Histories of Empire, Volume Six, by Tyrus of Helia (recovered from Blessed Isles salvage, approximate date unknown)
Only in the crucible of strife does God burn away the impurities to reveal the essence of a person - an inner core that might otherwise have remained hidden for an entire life.
Rhaedri Brison, attributed
Ninjutsu is not the art of killing. It is the art of surviving what was designed to kill you. The difference is everything.
