"[first arriving in Todelmer] Todelmer. Built to study the heavens, and glorious heavens you will find here. I'm only sad we were never allowed to finish. I've told you some of the story. Yeesha's great-grandmother, Ti'ana, came to us desperate for control, convincing our people to betray rules we had held for generations. And... we died. Yeesha claims such death, as painful as it was, had to be done. A plan of the Maker. And that she will rebuild... [derisively] She will rebuild. I will tell you, such delusive "wisdom" comes from vague feelings and daydreams, and that the Tablet you will have is far too powerful for such "wisdom". Todelmer... enjoy the beauty of the heavens, while you consider the power that can control them."
