50,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_085","By luring other unfortunates to the place of our demise and dramatically dispatching of them, we feed our instinctual desire to be noticed. To be loved."
51,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_086","Not that I have even the foggiest where I croaked! It's been far too long. Even were I to recollect, there's bound to be naught left of the old mortal coil. Perhaps the smallest chip of bone, waiting to be swallowed by a fish..."

And give them leaves before they flee!♪"
59,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_102","Chatty, fidgety leafmen are not unheard of, but to think that one might try pressing you like a flower! An ambitious bush, indeed."
60,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_103","Curiouser still is its ability to multiply at a moment's notice. Are its blossoms more show than substance, then? What a rich display of mortal vanity!"
61,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_104","And yet you say its words reflected only a heart of flora, its flesh and blood forgot... The hazards of chronic shrubbery, I'm afraid."
62,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_110","The blanched husk of an ambulatory tree that once thrived deep in our forests. Similar to the werewood, which I'm sure you've seen."

66,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_114","So remain the bodies of those that once sought sanctuary in its boughs. A cold wind blows through our roving woodland now... "
67,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_120","Ah yes, the aforementioned archbishop. I have since dribbled many a puddle in the royal library while reading up on his celebrity. The Nu Mou keepers were less than pleased, but when are they ever?"

The victims of absolved naivety!♪"
79,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_135","If you ask me, those salty brats should know their place. We Fuath make a far better art of drowning!"

83,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_143","Any who <Emphasis>do</Emphasis> encounter the elusive Ogbunabali are, in most cases, immediately buried. Sudden death does wonders to prevent significant research."

95,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_162","The One-eyed Wight was as fierce and fearsome as a sandstorm. Aye, its glare alone could engulf a man in flames! Its power was matched only by its thirst for gold, they say, and so the village soon found itself destitute..."
96,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_163","It is here the hero enters, his cue past. A lad both brave and clever defeats the fiend, claims its hoard of treasure, and everyone lives happily ever after. The end!"

Comfort those whose death is nigh.
Still their breath, a final sigh.
So, good night, with lullaby.♪"
103,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_173","Bluntly put, the creature's invigorating Darkness would quicken the advent of an inevitable passing."
104,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_174","You can imagine how sinister this must have seemed to the Church of the First Light. A deplorable shadow, they called it."
105,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_175","So in the self-righteous fashion of mortals, they dragged the beast from the mountains and sealed it away in some far, forsaken land."

107,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_177","Perhaps, by latent instinct, it sought to end your own suffering, pilgrim. Usher you through death's door, following Darkness like a dream..."

111,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_183","There, the Church of the First Light originated, and so chapels are both numerous and old. Elegant, even."
112,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_184","What I can't explain are your reports of the pervasive Darkness... Night may have returned to Norvrandt, but last I checked, it hasn't nested upon Lakeland like some grumpy amaro."
113,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_185","As for this Malacoda, well, I haven't the faintest clue of what it is. I'm impressed you managed to catch its name at all."
114,"TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_186","Any practitioner who can simultaneously juggle so many incantations is far too nimble to be a mindless sin eater. That much I can say for certain."

Haunting the stones upon the holy path?

41 37 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_061 ...Acknowledging that you require only so many decorative lamps, we enchanted the thing to hurtle over park and pale at exhilarating speeds. A much better use for it, if you ask me.
42 38 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_062 Mortals are generally so banal with their objects, but you appreciate our fae whimsy, don't you? Now, get on your chandelier, and be off with you!
43 39 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_070 Who constitutes “fae folk” is highly dependent upon time and place.
44 40 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_071 While Fuath and pixies have always been quintessential examples, the Nu Mou and old blood amaro are more recent additions to the ranks.
45 41 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_072 These days, we are defined as “what resembles a child of man, yet is too strange to be one.”
46 42 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_073 Speech is a good measure of that resemblance─a beast that barters may be fae, but one that only barks is but a beast.
47 43 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_074 Indeed, the true difficulty lies in determining how strange is too strange for mankind.
48 44 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_075 So let me ask, since I've run out of answers─what constitutes a “person”? And how can you be sure you're one of them?
49 45 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_080 Me? I enjoy long walks on the shore and reading books in my spare time, though I tend to dampen the pages something dreadful.
50 46 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_081 Judging by our first meeting, you're already familiar with Fuath─you know our mischief is as dark as the water we drag mortals into.
51 47 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_082 Perhaps you also know that, just as pixies are born from the souls of unbaptized children, Fuath too have a unique origin.
52 48 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_083 Namely, the water in which we ourselves drowned. We are souls lost to the deep, unnoticed and unmourned.
53 49 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_084 A lonely end...which is why we're always seeking company.
54 50 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_085 By luring other unfortunates to the place of our demise and dramatically dispatching of them, we feed our instinctual desire to be noticed. To be loved.
55 51 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_086 Not that I have even the foggiest where I croaked! It's been far too long. Even were I to recollect, there's bound to be naught left of the old mortal coil. Perhaps the smallest chip of bone, waiting to be swallowed by a fish...
56 52 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_090 You've encountered sin eaters, but has your mortal mind fully grasped the horror of what it is to become one?
57 53 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_091 Your outsides wrought into a grotesque parody of beauty, your insides ravaged into structures that defy the chirurgeon's healing touch. To say nothing of your soul!
58 54 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_092 In many ways, 'twould be a mercy if the metamorphosis always destroyed the creature's essence. And yet...
59 55 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_093 Should you find any sin eaters that look significant, I might be able to share the tale of who they were before they began indiscriminately slaughtering passersby.
60 56 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_094 Only those important enough to be immortalized upon the page, mind. As with the church itself, records of its era have outlived natural memory─and unnatural memory, for that matter.
61 57 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_100 A frondent lob of rainbows? Why, that would be no sin eater, but a leafman!
62 58 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_101 Mutated from a greener state, perhaps, but all leafmen are fundamentally the product of pixie transmogrification. Enjoy a mortal's company And give them leaves before they flee!♪
63 59 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_102 Chatty, fidgety leafmen are not unheard of, but to think that one might try pressing you like a flower! An ambitious bush, indeed.
64 60 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_103 Curiouser still is its ability to multiply at a moment's notice. Are its blossoms more show than substance, then? What a rich display of mortal vanity!
65 61 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_104 And yet you say its words reflected only a heart of flora, its flesh and blood forgot... The hazards of chronic shrubbery, I'm afraid.
66 62 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_110 The blanched husk of an ambulatory tree that once thrived deep in our forests. Similar to the werewood, which I'm sure you've seen.
67 63 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_111 I know a plant where the wild weeds grow, Where songbirds and the seeking creatures go, Quite over-canopied with mushrooms and leaves, A roving woodland where to be at ease.♪
68 64 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_112 Full often did I laze upon the back of that gentle giant.
69 65 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_113 But once it turned, all it touched became corrupted by Light...
70 66 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_114 So remain the bodies of those that once sought sanctuary in its boughs. A cold wind blows through our roving woodland now...
71 67 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_120 Ah yes, the aforementioned archbishop. I have since dribbled many a puddle in the royal library while reading up on his celebrity. The Nu Mou keepers were less than pleased, but when are they ever?
72 68 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_121 Before he became a sin eater, Sladfort was but another strapping Galdjent from the Kingdom of Voeburt.
73 69 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_122 He was happily possessed of a healthy mind and healthy body, both of which he honed by strict regimen.
74 70 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_123 A quiet, disciplined sort. A paragon of authenticity. As a person and as a clergyman, he was loved and admired.
75 71 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_124 Alas, when the sin eaters robbed him of his soul, his very devotion betrayed him.
76 72 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_125 Though the thousand thousand prayers he had offered to the Light remained steeped in his body like a second blood, their power now turned upon all he had once served.
77 73 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_126 You did lay him to rest in the church of his faith, however, so perhaps his prayers were answered after all.
78 74 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_130 From the sound of it, you visited the oceanic chapels of Kholusia.
79 75 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_131 Architecture built from the reefs was once a common sight in those parts, and the churches were considered some of Kholusia's finest structures.
80 76 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_132 Water everywhere you look! Hugging the wide windows, pooling gracefully in the halls...
81 77 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_133 Considering the numerous aqueducts, it's little wonder that a sin eater swam in with a cohort.
82 78 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_134 Those finnèd pests beguile and make their play With mighty jets and spouts and blinding spray. Pity their prey, for poor and wretched be The victims of absolved naivety!♪
83 79 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_135 If you ask me, those salty brats should know their place. We Fuath make a far better art of drowning!
84 80 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_140 A visage more terrifying than the ghastliest of sin eaters─you have met Ogbunabali, ancient beast of Amh Araeng.
85 81 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_141 What is a jade mandible for, if not devouring the power of earth and rendering stone to sand?
86 82 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_142 Some say it shifts the land's aetherial balance, while others claim it conjures shockwaves deep underground. Is any of this true? Piffle.
87 83 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_143 Any who <Emphasis>do</Emphasis> encounter the elusive Ogbunabali are, in most cases, immediately buried. Sudden death does wonders to prevent significant research.

90 86 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_150 That old eccentric is still alive and stomping? Some legends are too timeless to succumb to sin eaters!
91 87 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_151 The mightiest of gigatenders are crowned with the title of king, but that fellow's chief humor is for a tyrant.

94 90 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_154 The golden crown is a work of conceit, lovingly carved and adorned with jewels. All by its own two stubs!
95 91 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_155 The lengths kings will go to assure themselves of dominion... Still, we can enjoy a laugh at its expense.
96 92 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_156 For if you observe closely, you will see that its needles issue not only from its head, but sweet bottom! So regally it plays the part Yet cannot hide its deadly fart!♪
97 93 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_160 There survives a tale from the old Nabaath Empire, worn smooth by the times it has been told.
98 94 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_161 Long ago, in the heart of the desert, the people of an oasis were beset by a vicious brute─the One-eyed Wight.
99 95 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_162 The One-eyed Wight was as fierce and fearsome as a sandstorm. Aye, its glare alone could engulf a man in flames! Its power was matched only by its thirst for gold, they say, and so the village soon found itself destitute...
100 96 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_163 It is here the hero enters, his cue past. A lad both brave and clever defeats the fiend, claims its hoard of treasure, and everyone lives happily ever after. The end!
101 97 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_164 ...Well, I never promised the tale would be <Emphasis>original</Emphasis>, now did I? But the sin eater you described may be the One-eyed Wight of eld.
102 98 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_165 Distorted by Light, its immolating eye a mawkish, milky white...
103 99 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_166 Does not misfortune render evildoers in a sympathetic hue? Just imagine the tears it must weep alone, condemned to a ninny's tomb...
104 100 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_170 Deep in the craggy mountains, there once lived a beast with magnificent antlers and a coat as dark as night.
105 101 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_171 By means unknown, it would appear before the injured and ailing, and gently draw its body close.
106 102 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_172 Lulla, lulla, lullaby, Comfort those whose death is nigh. Still their breath, a final sigh. So, good night, with lullaby.♪
107 103 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_173 Bluntly put, the creature's invigorating Darkness would quicken the advent of an inevitable passing.
108 104 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_174 You can imagine how sinister this must have seemed to the Church of the First Light. A deplorable shadow, they called it.
109 105 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_175 So in the self-righteous fashion of mortals, they dragged the beast from the mountains and sealed it away in some far, forsaken land.
110 106 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_176 There, we can suppose it turned, its once glossy black coat now a desiccated white.
111 107 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_177 Perhaps, by latent instinct, it sought to end your own suffering, pilgrim. Usher you through death's door, following Darkness like a dream...
112 108 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_180 What say you of the pilgrim road, bendyspire? You've paid homage to many a ruined chapel, after all.
113 109 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_181 Had the Flood not swallowed most of the world, you might have been able to tour the churches outside Norvrandt as well. Alas.
114 110 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_182 Regardless, traverse stone eighty-one marks a significant turn─one into the heart of Lakeland.
115 111 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_183 There, the Church of the First Light originated, and so chapels are both numerous and old. Elegant, even.
116 112 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_184 What I can't explain are your reports of the pervasive Darkness... Night may have returned to Norvrandt, but last I checked, it hasn't nested upon Lakeland like some grumpy amaro.
117 113 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_185 As for this Malacoda, well, I haven't the faintest clue of what it is. I'm impressed you managed to catch its name at all.
118 114 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_186 Any practitioner who can simultaneously juggle so many incantations is far too nimble to be a mindless sin eater. That much I can say for certain.
119 115 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_187 But what indeed was passing fell and wrath, Haunting the stones upon the holy path? A plague of Darkness! Pilgrims all for fear Creep into empty pews and hide them there.♪
120 116 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_190 Eminent Grief... The king betrayed little regarding its nature.
121 117 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_191 And who am I to tread loudly in the domain of their silence? Tyr Marn may delight in revealing the secrets of both the living and insensate, but woe betide the fae who unwittingly betrays royal secrets.
122 118 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_192 To satisfy your mortal curiosity, I suppose I can tell you the obvious: the fiend is a marriage of Light and Darkness.
123 119 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_193 Opposites attract, do they not? Regardless of their origins, 'twas an edict in destiny that they collided─like a union of true lovers crossed!
124 120 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_194 Whatever its cause, their meeting was marked by a ferocious contest of wills. Mayhap Darkness devoured more, but it could not digest the most tenacious of sin eaters. So persisted their hungry and unwilling embrace...
125 121 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_195 Yet by and by, their contrary aethers learned a reciprocity that would sustain the unholy union until its interment.
126 122 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_196 One stone shall serve as barrow for them both: one heart, one end, two wretches, and one troth.
127 123 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_197 Mortal though you well may be, Traveled you so trippingly. Arms in hand, with faerie grace Did you cleanse and bless that place.♪ Now, until a darker day, Fortune smiles upon all fae. Mark my words, and mark them true: Ev'ry thanks, we give to you!♪
128 124 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_198 ...That was lofty! Now 'tis time for Aenc Daen the Merry to close the tome upon these antic fables and faerie toys.
129 125 TEXT_CTSDDD4AENCDAENTALK_00945_AENCDAEN_000_199 Should you demand more stories of such a weak and idle theme, I tell you─not for my faerie kingdom! No more words. Away! Go, away!
