"Information can be vastly useful if you find an application for it," Caelidorus said. "The challenge of course is finding the application. I can say that my clan differs on the customs of the dead. Whenever one dies honorably, their body is taken to our central city, where we have a ceremonial altar set up. Their body is reverted to its true form if they died wearing the guise of a human and death rites are said. The body is then burned and the ashes collected. These are then taken to the clan hoard, where a massive, ornate urn dominates the chamber. Their ashes are then poured into it with those of all the others whom lived honorably."
"The Seekers essentially control how much events affect the mainstream opinion. They will most likely reduce the affect of the current efforts to establish friendly relations and greatly increase the effect of anything that could harm friendly relations. However, they will not be able to prevent peace from being established if nothing happens that could prevent it. As for total elimination, I doubt the assassins would want that because then they would have nobody to manipulate.
It was a strange and dark dream," Forlirn said. "Within it I was one of the True Ones. Everything was different... Pain, rage, hate, torment, sorrow, vengeance, agony, despair... All coursed through me, changing faster than an insect beats its wings. Underneath all of it was a constant desire for blood, to taste it, revel in it, release it, bath in it... and a desire to end the light. What I saw and where I was changed as fast as my emotions. Most of the time I was chained in darkness, but other times I was elsewhere, seeking blood. One of those scenes was the head of an enormous dragon speaking to a tall figure in black. I saw it barely a fraction of a second, but I heard the dragon speak the name Thlorian..."
