On this day, the eve of this Rapture’s completion, I honour those who have passed and whose passion and knowledge have brought us to the brink of salvation. Inquisitor Maligaro, a creative force without equal. Shavronne of Umbra, an aesthete of transcendent sensibility. Doedre Darktongue, an idol of fervor and dedication. You taught me far more than I ever taught you, my students… my friends. We strove to make a greater world together and, in your memory, I shall make that world a reality. Malachai
