The Wyrm of Blasphemy Concept Art

"Young, oh, so tragically young and radiant Seraphine. No wonder the old souls of my City of Strings mistrust her. They see in her the zeal that drove their own mistakes, centuries ago. The ego of the Xildur, the brazenness of the Teng, the naivete of the Celesari."

"Oh, the Pale Huntress… She will be of use in our crusade against the light of existence. Her unwavering zeal and killer instinct can be easily goaded into benefiting our goals, dear Eternity. Still, to this age, the echoes of the Xildur haunt the universe. It’s almost a wonder they did not self-destruct when they ruled the skies. Such power… yet so little judgement."

"Do not be fooled. They might be warriors of nature, but their steel is castle-forged, and damn sharp."

"And though we might not succeed, I assure you, comrades, the King in Yellow shall know the meaning of terror, hammered into its aberrant mind by the battle cries of a thousand golden warriors!"

Afterlife Magister Geld Stormwalker of the Sixth Company

"When we approached Krakatan, the largest tree in existence, it made us know just how unwelcome we really were. A dozen ancient treants awakened, causing the earth to rumble as their roots left the tropical soil. The enigmatic mists were soon to follow, I knew, so we used our recall scroll to flee before becoming fertilizer. Something yet rages against the unification of the blooms…"
