It was men who awoke Nocturne.

The demon’s path snaked over steppes and green mountains

Trailing a ribbon of ash and bones.

The princes sent warriors.

They never returned.

The princes sent armies.

They never returned.

Until the Sky God wept and blessed Rehsan.

Rehsan the Protector.

Mistress of the cloudfire.

She joined her hands and the demon fell.

We remember.

We remember that princes cannot protect this land.

Rehsan trusted us alone with her radiance.

The only light to cure the restive darkness of men.
