Plotline: Main

Chapter Type: World Development

<We feel the Earth. We feel the topsoil; we feel the deep earth. We have decided that we are not happy.>

<I would guess that is because the humans have not been keeping to the treaty?>

<It is the curse of humans that they forget. In less time than a river to carve out its bed, in less time than a glacier to adjust its resting spot, in less time than a volcano's lifespan, this is how quickly mankind forgets.>

<You would think they would write things down, or make songs or plays.> said another. <They do not forget everything; some things echo through the ages.> This one had a definite tinge of anger to its thoughts.

<But most are lost.> said the elder. <We have seen less evidence of deep digging here, but still they dig. Greed. Human Greed.>

<Mother Athal, injured along the seams of metal, now missing. Her strengths, now turned to a weakness.>
