The Prophecy of the Tower dictates: "The one who is to become Ard-Dhasani will reclaim all magic."

The Archivists declare indiscriminate enmity against all rellyw who dare steal knowledge above their lowly rank. Rellyw deserve neither science nor magic. The greatest aspiration allowed to their kind is absolute servitude under the Conclaves and the Divine Purpose.

The path of the Ard-Dhasani will be built upon the corpses of heretics.

Ever Downwards.
