Ilian's Lament
“I am Illian, second of the third triad. We were arrogant. We built the throne to defeat the Changer of Ways. Once we thought we had done that, we tried to become gods. Not until the kindred cracked the world did I realize our arrogance. It was a long hunt, but now I am the last of the triads. I have bonded the dancers to protect the throne in case I can’t destroy it. I accept the sentence of death as the price I have to pay to destroy the throne. Let the punishment begin.”
