"When they reached their level of power, they saw the devastation and tyranny wrought by the deities, and they vowed that no being would ever reach that level of strength again."

"They do not care for your intent," the monoliths replied. "They fear the power itself. And they have worked in secret to weaken you in this life, to strip you of even the fragments of your Outworldly strength."
