The world has darkened, and it wasn't because night is falling. Something imperceptible, intangible hangs in the air, and everyone can feel it, though few can name it. Perhaps we have gone too far after all, and the evil power in the south has awakened. Who knows what secrets slumber far beyond the edge of the forest, in the vast plains and distant mountains? Even the little that has managed to seep through here makes my skin crawl. I am not afraid, but I tremble, for I am not yet a complete fool. I know that my death could come at any moment, silent and stealthy. That is why I listen to the warning voices.
Whenever I feel this way and the watch drags on painfully, I watch the sky. Few stars are visible through the dense foliage unless I climb high into the treetops. They shine like elven gems, unique and infinitely beautiful. In their light, I seek hope and faith, for nothing else is so constant. Everything here changes, in the Forest of Falling Shadows; yesterday's friend will sell you out for a few silver coins. You cannot trust your kin, sprites, elves, or dwarves; you cannot trust anyone. Not even yourself, for betrayal lurks within you too, waiting only for the moment it hears the right price. And in the midst of it all, an oasis of peace and understanding, the magnificent Minkor. Such an unreal thing on this bloody battlefield. Sometimes I think it's a miracle, but other times, when doubts hiss in my head like a snake, I ask myself: At what price? How much does one pay for that glittering happiness? And does anyone even know?
