Lore[edit]
"...it was a great place before the Fall, a city of the plains." ... "You see the horns on her head and leathery wings at the back? Those were said to be symbols of flight beyond the circles of the world. It was the hope of the priests here that they might find a way to leave the world and follow the avatars to their home among the stars. This was a blasphemy for which the heavens exacted their terrible justice. The bards usually tell of this place as a civilization of decadence and selfish conceit. Some said that the world swallowed it up at the Fall, others that the moon broke in the sky so that it might crush it out of its sight."
from Blade of the Avatar
"I look upon this great woman and I want to weep." There was a catch in Syenna’s voice. "There is no one left to remember her name. All the might and the glory of the past has taught us nothing. The Avatars are gone, their Virtues left with them, and we are left with the broken relics of their hopes and dreams." — "Blade of the Avatar", by Tracy Hickman and Richard Garriott
