"The Lady is the source of all life, she is the light in the sky being devoured by the darkness." Valis tried to explain. "It is she who saved you from your injury through her miracle. If your people do not know of her, or the reason why the sun is now eclipsed, then I must speak with them. Many have tried to face the evil one. Mundane weapons even those of masterful craft could not harm the dark god. He has reduced our greatest of cities, most shining civilizations to mere walls containing the struggling remnants of a once noble people. Brave and proud as your people might be, if he comes to your lands, I fear you will all fall to him like countless before. Some of his agents may already be in this region, it is why I came here. If any hope remains, it lies with those touched by the goddess like myself. There must be others out there, I know it, the lady's light hidden in each of us. Any chance of defeating the dark one would come from uniting the last sparks of her divinity." he explained in length, the shining surrounding his hand slowly fading.<br/>"I need to learn everything I can about your people and this region. Will you help me?" he looked into Jalna's eyes, one hand reaching to hold her clenched fist. "From what you say your people expect an incursion. How much of our presence do they know? Will they attack us? If they do these orcs... I might not be able to quell their thirst for battle."
