“L’Amoress fell with her shattered kin, you know, when Usera was not but dust and fog. She united the Angels and Demons, orchestrated all creation. And when the Foul Usurper enslaved the Angels, L’Amoress hid the Fae from their feral parents. She did not lose her boiling Hate for Ründ, nor her precious, tender Love for all creation. Even as He hunted her, she broke herself in two, rather than be captured by the new King of the Heavens.”

– Wikk, Emeraal of Life and Death

“Few have seen Pure-Heart, the wandering celestial of chivalry. To have been touched by the the very Sword of the Heavens is an honor no man can hope to achieve. To be cut by its blade is to be healed, brave knight, you have been blessed with a second chance to make things right.”

– Celesse Orva, High Countess of the Vierlon Ilses

“Kingdom to the Horizon, that’s what they call this place, a never-ending city! Legend says the city was built with the magic of a Dragon’s heart... Seeing this city in the flesh... Its grandeur...One can almost believe the legend to be true.”

– Clio Loque, Historian

“My only true devotion is to the betterment of humans against a realm and powers that seek only to destroy them. Fear not, my brothers, for I will usher us beyond the Heavens, to realms beyond the Song itself. Humanity will dominate all creation; I have seen it.”

– Saint Poie, Puppet of the Pope-King

“ Follow me deep into my hollow, curl with me betwixt the roots of the oldest trees. Let us share in a love that only the celestials know, and together, we will bind our souls to Usera, forever. Breathe me in, and let us begin.”

– Io Fy Hapni, Daughter of Summer

“Ubians speak of two brilliant celestials of the sands, they loved each other fiercely. But their love, pure as it was, dried the land and air. No plant or animal could live, left with no choice, the divine Harpy had to separate them. Her mercy unto them, a piece of her purest love, and it blossomed into a crystalline plant. Whisperleaf, a plant so fragile no mortal can touch it. Bring me this Whisperleaf, and I shall grant your wish.”

– The Moon Crane, Blessed Queen of the Bastion

“To you, Biathula, I bind my heart, and with it, my power and soul. We will always be together, my love, tethered by my thread. Even as Usera changes, our hearts will always beat as one. They will never destroy the heart of the Wyrm Sisters.”

– Dian Wyrm, Witch of Thread

“Close your eyes, and feel Usera beneath your feet. Listen close, and let her sing to you. Do you hear them? The voices of nature are joining in the chorus too.”

– Gaelfin, Lord-Druid of Pinkroot Village
