"Too much blood has already been spilled over these things, and I, for one, have always wanted to know why…"
Dirar's question was one shared by many in the great hall. For the first time, the knights and lords of the frontier were hearing a version of their own history that established common ground with the people they'd considered mortal enemies for their entire lives. It wasn't easy to stomach, especially for those who had lost family and loved ones in one of the many wars fought against the Eldritch.
But even the most stubborn among them found themselves asking the same question that High Lord Dirar had asked. Why? Why fight these wars at all?
"Like the Mother of Forests and the Sovereign of Stars who rescued the Eldritch, the Great Prophet and the Saint Teacher established a new order to rescue the world," Ignatious said, continuing his story. "But the threat they faced was different from the one the Eldritch faced, and the tools they had were different too."
